He is popular with the people generally, because he has treated everybody right, has been courteous and kind to all, and such a man is always appreciated.

Mr. Harrison is one of the most popular men in '.own, not in a business way alone, but socially there is no family who would be more universally missed.

Even as aid and experienced a newspaper as the Lancaster lve. view still lias one class of subscribers that it is a puzzle to know what to do with. Ilcrc is what it says about theui: "One of the strange things about the newspaper busiuees is that now and then a subscriber , when asked to pay his indebtedness will get mad, pay up and order his paper stopped. And yet the same man will receive u , dun from anyone elso ? his uoeiv , chant for example?without los? , ing his temper and as a matter of j course." ! That is easy, Brother Connors. | For uil such every newspaper of- , fice needs to keen a "iackuss a J * list," and whenever a man gets mad because he is asked to pay or because his paper is discontinued for aon payment, his name should \ lio carefully preserved thereon. For some time this office has kept ' such a list, and it works nicely.? Waxhaw Enterprise. I ?
