Keece Williams, a winning the prize at the recent t baby show in Clinton, and com- t ments thereon as tollows : ) "Huh! You're way oil", Bro. v News. Why, the aioresaid prize I baby is after ali at least hdf-aCliuton baby?its fair and winsome mama being a Clinton girl, o therefore Clint* n lias a ri?lit, u under the Federal constitution, s to lay claim to the charm and hits 0 in this simply blue-ribboned ber d own. In the Book ol Genesis we a are told that Cain, "wearv" ol d looking at the homely daughters v of Lancaster, went over into the land of Clinton to take unto him self a wife Air. Williams, the 1 wise lather ol this prize-winning j; baby, confiding in Mr. Cain's t good judgment, followed suit and, h ol course, found, not in Lancas- j ter, mark you, hut in Clinton, t far from the borders of Nod, one t of the "sweetest and handsomest t of women." We heartily endorse, esteemed contemporary all that you say t about the charming mother, and e while little Miss Frances is sweet s enough tor all?both Lancaster 1 and Clinton?as Schley said ol the glory ol America's victory a over the Spanish lleet?still, in t the interest of unbiased lustory, r it must be recorded that the lovely child is the "living image'' ot her fond lather, who is himself { a line Lancaster product, so to j apeak. c But say, where did you get r your bible ?
