STo Place Like Lancaster.
We asked a substantial citizen
if this county who bus just retimed
from au extended trip to
Texas aud Louisiana if he mtendsd
to wove out there. "No,"
le said; "we have the best counry
right here that I have struck
ret. They have sonic advantages
>v?r us here. A man can work
o minh more thoro but the disidvantages,
to my wind, more
lian counterbalance the advantages.
For example, where 1
vent there is no water, 110 living
veils, but tho people have to dc>end
upon cisterns, and as tbey
mve not had what is called a
'season" in two years, itissouieimes
pretty bad, as 1 see it. They
lave to go to frog ponds and low
daces where the water stands and
mul it te the cisterns. And the
and is not as rich as 1 expected
o find it. A good part of it
ooked to me about like our land
lere. I saw some good land that
vould wake a bale to the acre,
?ut 1 have some that will do that
oo. No, Texas is a very good
ountry, but I prefer Lancaster."

A School Taachcr Attacked*
I
FiorcMice, NS uy l-> ?An unpleasant
personal altercation occurred
near the Court House ves- J
tcrday ufternoon in which S< per d
intcndent Clarence 10. Johnson, of
the graded schools, and Mr. J. .1. ^
Jennings came to blows. Tho *
trouble, as well as could hu learn,
ed, grew out of the suspension of
; a child of Mr. Jennings from tho ^
j >ch?ol sown weeks igo. Ycstcr- '
day the two met and souie vers :l
harsh words from Mr Jennings, d
accompanied by an unmcntionnhel p
4'cuss word" was passed, Jen- e
nings at the same time informing a
Mr. Johnson that ho had been n
looking for him. Mr. Johnson
asked him if he was armed, and ti
is said that Mr. Jennings replied o
in the allirmative. Mr. Johnson r
then asked him if he would give
him time to put himself on an
equal footing and the matter would tl
be settled. Mr. Jennings reiter-!...
0 | I 4
ated his former epithets, where- jj
upon Mr. Johnson struck him in
the face. This was followed by
another from Mr. Johnson before 1
the two could be separated by the I 11
sheriff, who, seeing the trouble,
rushed up and took charge of both
of them.
Each of them deposited a sunt
for their appearance at the May- si
or's court, where the case will be
called tomorrow.
