Spring's and family moving away from Lancaster, and opens wide the gates of its city to this most valuable citizen. In view of Col. Springs many interests in Fort Mill and tnis township, and the fact that we still claim him as a Fort Mill man, we hope that his removal, if made, will be back to this place.
