The Principal of Monroe High
School Tells of Flying Trip
he Made to O X.

Mr.. EDrToR:--l took a hurried
trip from across the line into the
northern section of your county
last week. 1t was my first visit
TO your county and l enjoyed it,
The people are busy harvesting
their crops. | met u number of
people and never heard murmer
about sorry crops.
They have started school at
Tabernacle under the control of
Mrs. Eva Belk. For a number
OF years she conducted a good
school across the line, and we
predict for her success. She is a
good woman, a good teacher and
ought to have the united support
of the people. The people are
determined on educating their
children, that is hopeful sign.
stopped awhile with my friend,
MI. Stewart. He keeps the post
office all 90. X" He soon
handed me copy of the LEDGER
to read and | was delighted. 1t
is good paper and cheap, full of
news and of life. Every family
in Lancaster county ought to take
it. l noticed that some one was
writing about cousins and dispen
sary. ] would read and laugh; |
enjoyed it. But we must not he
too hard, for we all love our kin
folks and when we want little
good old North Carolina noun
tain whiskey for "medicine" We
call on our cousins.
MIR. Stewart went to uncle
Fllnn's, the noted 'possum hunter
OF the community, and got a big
fat 'possum for the occasion. 1t
was SO fat that when | took q bite,
it melted away instead of swelling.
Mrs. Stewart is a good clever wo.
man, quick to form friends. She
knows how to cook 'possum, and
how to join her husband in max
ing you enjoy your visit.
We called on Mr.. Geo. PIvler
and found him just recovering
from q severe attack Of nervous
prostitution. He was cheerful,
md in fine spirits; but says he
prefers health to everything else.
He was once almost the stoutest
man in all Lancaster, but he has
worked too hard, and | guess that
his ratiOns have been too temrtinr
for the best OF health. The dining
room is made so attractive with
provisions that you will eat too
much before you know it. Mr..
PlyIer has good genial wife and
a houseful of good clever children,
who know well how to entertain
strangers when he is sick.
Both these families are sending
some good children to good high
school up in North Carolina. They
were all home on visit. 1t was
a general good time of rejoicing.
Yours sincerely,
PLUMMER STEWART.

WAHxAd.~-YHAfzsH

The City Couacil advertised for bids
On watePwOrks and the time named
for opening the proposals is next Sat-
urday morning. We do not know
how many bids have been made, but
it is safe to say the Council will then
know near what the system will cost.
The only drawback our town now has
is the scarcity Of water. We only
have about one cistern to every two
dwellings, and not more than ten or
twelve are located between the first
alley and Square. These are all small,
and right now there is barely enough
water i'm all to ill one. The tax levi
ed by waterwOrkS will not be more
than twenty-five cents, and the inSur-
ance companies have agreed to reduce
their rates 33l. In this, property
owners will make a big saving, and as
property owners do the paying, it
seems their wishes should be given
preference in the matter. OF course
there is objection to the proposition,
like there has been to every other i'm
prOvement we have gotten, but judg-
ing from the lengthy petition which
has been presented to the Council, we
do not see how they can well get
around the matter.
TIE advertisement states positively
that the city reserves the right to buy
the system in live, ten or twenty years,
which clause is gOOd one. After the
system has been put in, and our peO-
pie realize its advantages, We do not
believe there would be vote cast
against the town buying it. This has
been the experience everywhere else,
and we would be no exception to the
rule. 1t does seem that the large
amount of handsome, costly property
now being erected should be given
some protection from fire. Lancaster
has suffered more from fire than has
any town its size i'm Kentucky. In
nearly every case where we had big
fire, the flames were discovered in
ample time to have been eXtinguiShed
had we had any facilities. If the
money required in rebuilding could
have been put to other improvements
we would now have the best town in
the state.
This matter should be weighed vel
before steps are taken, and we hope
the Council will ponder deep and long
before dropping the subject.

Organize by all Means.

II have about concluded, remarked
Capt. Herndon, to THE RECORD, "tO
organize d Good Times Society," any
member of which shall be pledged to
preach the gospel OF good times, good
fellowship, peace and plenty. to pro-
mote good feeling among neighbors
and to bring about harmony generally.
Adequate penalties will be provided
against all who growi or stir up strife,
and suitable rewards for those who
carry sunshine always with them: and
to him who tries to make at least one
soul happy each day. every member
will he required to lift his hat. He
who infictS causeless pain will be Ia
booed. At our meetings we will dis
cuss nothing but that which makes
happy those present or absent, and no
effort will be made to find out any
thing but good of any one. The SOci-
ETY. will be incorporated, so that it
will have endless succession and do
good forever"

The Baptist church has just pur-
chased a large lot of handsome song
books, which they have had THE REC
ORD office to label. This reminds us
that we recently visited a certain
house in Lancaster and saw four song
books lying on the piano, each bear
ing the name of some local church.
People take these books from the
churches unthoughtedly and never re-
turn them. If they would stop and
consider the work it takes to raise
money to buy them, the books would
be returned. Those who are thought
full and honest will return all song
books next Sunday morning. Now,
watch and see who brings them. Some
people doubtless have so many they
will be ashamed to lug in the load.

We Want; Enl.

While at the Press Association last
week, we spoke to great many of the
editors in regard to holding their next
meeting in Lancaster. They seemed
to take to the idea and we were much
encouraged at the prospect. r. Lee
Davis was also hustling for Rich
mond, and some one suggested that
the editors meet at Richmond, remain
a day and night, and then come and
spend the same length of time in Ian
caster. This latter suggestion SEEM
ed to suit all better, and we believe it
can be arranged. We have many
things to show the boys if they will
make us visit and know the time
spent in the two towns will be made
pleasant. The meeting does not take
place until next summer and it's most
too long off to talk about.
