L AN EDITOR "OWNS UP" The esteemed News ot Lancaster, still claiming that a Lancas tnan baby won the prize at the Clinton baby show, and noticing what The Gazette hah to say , on the subject, continues: "We heartly endorse, esteemed contemporary, all that you say about the charming mo4her, ana winie lime miss rranees is sweet enough lor all?both Laucaster and Clinton?ai Schley , sail of the glory ot America's victory over the Spanish tLet? still, in the interest, of unbiased liietorv, it must be recorded that the lovely child is the "living image'1 ol her fond fattier, who is himself a line Lancaster product, so to speak. Hut say, where did you get your bible? If it tells you thai Mr. Cain or mister anybody eLe ever saw any "homely daughters of Lancaster," our advice tc you is to lose no time in swapping it oil" to Col. Springs for his copy of "Three Weeks"?and then burn 'Three Weeks' ". Admitting that the Clinton- , Lancaster prize baby does really ''take alter" tier fond and loving papa, having located with him in Lancaster, and withdrawing the charge concerning the 'homeliness" of the "daughters of Lancaster," who are not at. all "homely'1, but as lair as the white rose itself, we shall most likely not swap with Col. Springs lior "burn three weeks" nor one week either, it we can help it.? The Cliuton (iazette. .Just as we expected, the chivalrous editor of The Gazette, who evidently has an eye lor the beautiful in femuun . ity, ''takes back1' his charge o! j "homeliness" against Lancas ter's daughters. That was the proper and manly thing to do. 1 Our contemporary also admits t that little Miss Frances Williams "takes alter'1 her father?another confession good lor Editor Dendy's soul. But he doesn't i think that he'll burn "Throe t Weeks1'. Of course not?until 1 a'ter he has read it. 1 < A HOCK HILL DREAM I A certain llocfc Hill citizen | came over to Lancaster recently, , got a good bath and a drink ol | pure water, and went to bed be- . tween clean sheets, and naturally , he had visions on account of 1 these unusual things. , lie dreamed that ho had crushed over tin? liver and knocked at i , the peariy gut<*s ol 1'aradise- ( Si. Peter asked who he was and , he told him 11is name and ad .Irn.u *. VVI .. .1 v ' . d. Illfrr- IK III) SUI'Il place," said Si. Peter. This caused a discusr-ion and finally a ( map of South Carolina was produced. and the little dot west o! Lancaster was located. "Well," , baid Si. Peier, 4'1 see you are right bui 1 never hear 1 of the place before. We have penty of Lancaster people here, hut we have no records of Kosk Hill people at all, and you will just have to go down to the other place." So the disappointed man went down and knocked at the hot gates of the lower reuioos, and told the gate keeper that he was from "Iiock Hill, near Lancaster, South Carolina " The keeper! said he had never heard of Lancaster but that lie would find plenty of his Rock Hill friends fhere if there was room lor him, but that he didn't want any more THE LANC such people because (hey were accustomed to doing without water and made it too hot tor him. This made the visitor uneasy and he begged for standiug room, but it was finally decided that he could not be taken in. "Well," he said, as he turned awav iu bitter disappointment, "it Heaven don't know me and hell won't have*me, 1 suppose 1 will have to go back to liock Ilill to live." Now that Thanksgiving is over, all aboard for Christmas ! An Atlanta minister named Motley has accepted a call to Salisbury, N. C. Of course he'll not have a mo 'ey congregation.
