NATl'RDAY, JlfLY IS, I90N. ^
The Era wishes to commend ^
in the very strongest and most j
favorable manner those youug
men who, since the close of the *
schools, are industriously at work '
rather than idle away their time. J
It betokens not only that these |
boys are not lazy, but that they
have a laudable ambition as well ^
to do something and to be somebody.?Kershaw
Era. 1
The News takes this occasion '
to likewise commend the young 1
students and college men of Lan- '
caster whom we have been Dieas- *
ed to observe at work during the
holidays. That "all work and no
play makes Jack adull boy"is un- (
doubtedly true, generally speak- (
ing, but there are exceptions. 1
Take, for example, the case of 1
young Jack Gregory, son of the 6
late II. J. Gregory, who, though (
a young man of means, has been
hard at work since returning
from college. We say hard at j
work advisedly, for Jack gets up
every morning at six o'clock, ^
gets behind a team of mules ana
drives twelve miles through the
hot suu into the country after
lumber, returning witli"his load
in the evening. Such has been
his daily work for weeks, and it
is truly making a man of him
physically without in any wise
impairing his bright mentality.
Jack is not without his pleasur- j
es, however. Occasionally on returning
from his long, hot and *
dusty 24-mile trip, he will wash
and dress up and spend the eve
mng most pleasantly at the ope- ^
ra house or at some social lunc
?
tion. But however late he may
be up at night Jaca is always at ^
his post of duty bright and early .
the next morning. His is really ^
a remarkable case. One rarely
sees a boy with a good inheritance,
who is not obliged to work
for a living, engaged during his ;
school vacation in jnaking his j
bread by tlie sweat of his brow. ,
A.11 honor to young Gregoiy ! In
a quiet and unostentatious way (
he is showing to the world that
he is not ashamed to work, is
adding dignity to labor and set
ting an example that other boys ,
might well follow.
When you have visitors at your !'
house, whether you live in town i
or country, or when any member
of your family is off visiting '
elsewhere, please send promptly |
names, etc , to this ofliee for publication.
Occasionally a "person- (
al" is mi-sed for the reason that ,
no information in relation tin re- <
to reaches ?ilts (dllce. Also when }
so unforlunat- as to h ?ve a leu1 h
in your family, let us know I he tact

One phase of the famous merger
case, which involves the vaidity
of the Southern Ilaii ,vay's
;it!e to the old Three C's, was
leard by the Supreme Court this
veek. Tt was an appeal from a

a new action. When the
natter will be heard on its merits,
lobody seems to know.

to show cause why he should
