THE NAME OF LANCASTER'S NEW
pApEQ.

PAPER.
"We have seen the last issues
of the three Lancaster papers,
and their familiar and ALWAYS
welcome faces will be distinctly
missed. One of them started
on its career the week this edi-
tor was born, and is therefore
about the same age. We re-
gret that the name Of some one
of them was not perpetuated
in the consolidated paper. They
are all decidedly better names
than the "News," which is
painfully common. 1t would
have been a matter of pride in
1852 to be able to say that the
Lancaster Ledger had been run
ming 100 wears without change
of name, and a little later the
same might have been said of
one Of the other names if it had
been selected IT is with regret
that we part with the Ledger, +,
the Review and the Enterprise :,
though their places be taken by
better paper"
The foregoing is from the
Chester Lantern of last Tues
day. Our esteemed contempor-
ary's kindly words about Ian
casters old papers are greatly
appreciated on this side of the
Catawba. We regret, however,
that Editor Bigham, for whose
literary taste we entertain the
highest respect, does not like
the name of the successor of the
retired journals.
The publishers of THE News
really wanted to retain the
names of all three of the old
publications, but concluded
that "The Ledger-Review-En
terprise" would be too cumber-
some a title. "THE LANCASTER
News" therefore, was finally
decided upon, with the names

of their establishment, resDec-
lively, appearing below in small
type, as shown on our first
page.
, The Lantern says the word
"News" is "painfully com
mon" We do not think 50.
1t is certainly not any more OBJ
jectionable on that account than
the names bone by the old pa
pers. There is nothing origi-
nal, unique or novel about any
of them. Newspapers have
been called by such names from
the very first days of journalism
up to the present. Viewed in
dependent of all association,
"News" sounds, about as well
to us as "Ledger," "Review"
or "Enterprise," ,"

came in contact for his strong,
manly chara cter, his uncompro-
missing integrity, his frank, cor

highest type of genuine christian
manhood. Possessed of rare no
bility of heart and mind, Of
pleasing manners, ard with a
courage that was dauntless,
DIR. WiCherspoon occupied warm
place in the affections Of his
friends, whose name was legion.
DR.. Witherspoon was a native
Of Lancaster, and was in his 10th
yeal. having been born Aug 10Th,
1886. He was son of the late
Col. and Mrs. James H. Wither-
spoon. whose other children were
Capt. B. j. Wiiherspoon, Mrs.
