Ii(inon*ter People Pleased Wltl New Postmaster and Witl President -MeKinley The following is taken fron the Lancaster correspondence o: the News and Connor: Mrs Belle Nance, through the influeuce of John 1* Hunter am] others at home, and of Senatori Tillman and McLaurin, in Wash ington, has received the appoint* m?nt of postmaster at Lancaster. to succeed Mr Joseph F Gregory, whoso terra expires by its own limitation. The senior Senator and tho ex marshal worked to gether, and they are now good friends. There whs another intelligent lady who applied for the office, after the friends of Mrt Nance had committed themselves to her, who would have made an efficient postmaster, but the friends of the former had endorsee] her application. Mr Gregory, with tho aid ol his very efficient daughter, Mis* Antiio Gregory, has tilled the office for more than six years, tc the entire satisfaction of tlx whole community, and might havt been continued longer in the office, but ho is a strong Democrat, having been appointed by I'resi dent Cleveland, and on this account could not afford to ask foi reappointment under a Kepuhli can Administration.
