LANCASTER'S OPPORTUNITY. There is no town in this pari ol the State that enjoys a finer and larger trade than does L ni-j caster. The surrounding country compares favorably with the best agricultural sections anywhere. For miles ani miles in j every direction the lands are j highlv improved and in good i state of cultiva ion, the people! intelligent, law-abiding, prosperous and progressive, and: almost to a ma i they patroniz j this market, selling heie the! products of their farms and buy- j ing from our merchants all the j commodities that they need or desire. But the trade of a town j ?vit? uovei bu gu'u tiitti it utiuiu not. bo made bitter. There is always room tor improvement and expansion. The live merchant is the merchant who continues to exotiiiu uts L- ude. ilc it- never -ati * tied with merely a "good" trade, but is ambitious to have a better and t till batter on3. l! he 3om aopportunity to doable his patronage, ho loses no tim4 i . inking advantage ot the pro'nisrd 'Milergem^1 t o' h's volume of hr neas. As with the 1 ve niercli.int, so it is, or ou<;ht to he, vvith a community. If a town sees a chance to materially ailment its business, it should not bo slow in reaching out anil go lug toe inctea>e, Lancaster lias the opportunity to add many thousm Is of dollarannually to her already lar^ and profit ?ble trade ? will she i~ . . i TL..I aui/ro it? iiifit roiuniin ??? j seen. We refer to the tine and I ox'enaive train alon^ the w<-h- j tern hunk of the Catawba river I that would most assuredly come j t > Lancaster were it not lor a natural barrier?the stream j itself.
