is in charge Of her room during her abb
sence.. s7Mr. Jesse B. Ford, with his
bride, returned yesterday evening on
the southbound train and was driven
out to his home Immediately. The best
wishes of The Review are extended to
this new couple. Mr.. F. Sn1der mas
moved into the house on the east side
of the railroad, recently vacated by Mr.
A. u. Dorsett. Rev. Mr.. Shell, OF
the Methodist church, preached an i'm
pressive sermon in the Presbyterian
church here last Sabbath night.......
Mr., r. A. Sifford reports a hawk kl.''
ed on his place a few days ago that
measured four feet from tip to tip.....
The young people had very enjoyable
party on last Friday night out at the
home of Mr.. T. M. Allen, two miles
from Glover. A few Of the young peo-
nle from Glover went out. Our
town authorities started out this year
with no debts and about $500 cash on
hands. We need a better prison mousse
and 1t is hoped that we will have pet
ter accommodations before long for our
friends who will stay over night with
us at this house. ...The young folks
had an old time cahdy pulling at Dr.
J. w. Campbell's one night last week.
We were not present, neither did we
get any candy, but it was said to be a
very sweet occasion and many impress
sions were made.
CHESTER.
Lantern. January 20: w. ]. Cherry,
of Rock Hill, was in the city satur-
day. r.. Mrs. W. J. Cherry and MISS
Mary Cherry are visiting at Mrs. N. }.
Miss Eunice Simpson
left on Saturday for Rock Hill, after
a ten days visit with relatives in the
city. ;. ..7AIr. Alex. Frazer was consid-
erably bruised up yesterday evening as
q result of the shaft Of his buggy COM
ing loose ard dropping down on his
horses heel. He was dragged some
distance and was right severely hurt.
Mr.. Jno. Nj. Rell was at Blackstock,
Friday, moving the switchboard from
its former location to a room in the
hotel building. Miss Kate Gibson. or
Wellridge, will answer the calls, ana
the exchange will be open night and
day hereafter. The Kennedy line now
runs into the exchange, giving the ad-
vantage Of two wires between chester
and Blackstocl, which will greatly I'M
prove the service. ......A good semi
weekly newspaper cannot be published
for a dollar n year, and publishers VINO
have tried it are acknowledging their
mistake. The last issue Of the Green
wood Journal announces that 1t will be
changed TO q weekly, and the last Gas
tonia News announces that its sub
scription price will be advanced. When
the milkman sells you milk for half
what pure milk is worth, he simply has
to make it half water, unless he is will
ing to do business at a loss-and that
is what some publishers are doing.
There are a few persons In every COM
munity who would rather have water
ed milk at half price, and doubtless
there are some who prefer the dollar
paper that is produced at correspond
ing expense. A paper can exc out an
existence on almost any income, and
there is too much tendency to cater to
the demand for cheap papers at the ex-
pense of the quality or of the publish
er. Many newspaper men figure up the
cost Of a weekly or semi-weekly pa
per, and also the income, at the dollar
rate, and find that they will have
handsome margin Of profit. But the
unforeseen expenses cover the margin,
and the income is largely on paper.
