Wanted !!

We want to buy within the next
three weeks all the COWS, sheep,
goats, hogs, chickens, geese, tur-
keys, ducks, guineas, eggs, but
ter, etc, for sale in Lancaster
county, and will pay the highest
cash price for same. Our busi-
ness has increased to such an ex-
tent that we find it difficult to
keep enough meat to supply our
trade, and for this reason we are
paying little better price than
other folks for cattle, poultry,
etc. SO if you have anything in
this line for sale, bring it along
and bring it quick. We also
want to buy corn, peas, green
and dry hides. Highest cash
price paid for all.
We wish to say to our trade
that we are prepared to deliver
anything you want in the meat
line. Handling 50 many beeves
a day enables you to get your
choice cut. We also handle fish
and oysters.

Capt. White, Of Lancaster,
Writes Unique Post Card
to Yorkville Enquirer.
From YorkvilIe Enquirer.

From 1orkvilIe Enquirer.
The Enquirer is the recipient
of a unique post card, something
different from anything of the
kind that has ever found its way
into this office. 1t consists of
piece OF soft pine . inches wide
by 81 inches long ana a quarter
of an inch thick. 1t came through
the mail last Saturday night from
our distinguished fellow citizen
of Fort Mill, now residing in
Lancaster, Captain Samuel +.
White, and the inscription there
on is as pleasant as 1t is unique.
Here is the reading of the card

Yorkville Enquirer:
Dear Sir:--I think it nothing
but right and proper to express
to you the great appreciation in
which your paper is held by its
readers, because through it so
much valuable information IS
disseminated.
Your paper improves in every
respect annually, and The last
copy (received today is par ex-
cellence.
This is not written for publica-
ton unless you so desire.
While The Enquirer is liberal.
ly patronized it is to be regretted
that it has not more subscribers.
1t Is the best publication in the

With the best wishes for the
long continuance of this good
work. | am
Very respectfully,
Sam'l f. White.
OF course, we desire to publish
such an excellent testimonial
from "a witness so distinguished
and so disinterested as Captain
Samuel Il. White. If any other
citizen of York has been held in
higher esteem by all who knew
him than Capt. White, we do not
know the name Of that citizen,
or if there is another citizen in
York county who has devoted
himself more unselfshIy TO the
promotion OF the welfare of his
fellow man, we have not yet
made his acquaintance. That the
good captain may be too gener-
Gus to The Enquirer that the
opinion he expresses may be
higher than we deserve, we
frankly admit. But nevertheless
we are proud Of the compliment,
and especially so because of its
high source.

IRELAND TALKS ON
 SEPARATION LAW
SAYS CHURCH IN END WILL DE- FEAT EFFORTS OF DEMA- GOGUES WHO HAVE NOT THE SYMPATHY OF THE PEOPLE.

Minneapolis, Minn., December 30.-Arch- bishop Ireland spoke at the Immaculate Conception church this evening on the church separation law now being en- forced in France. His sermon was in defense of the church in France in it's struggles against the government. He reviewed exhaustively the relations of the church and state in that country dur ing the past quarter of century.
 The archbishop denied that the church is opposed to the law of separation, but declared that 1t must be a fair separa- tion carrying with 1t the liberty and justice that separation means in this country, or In England, blaming 8 few demagogues and agitators who have a hold on the republic. The archbishop said that this class had forced the is- sue, and that the people have not sub mitted; that they have unfortunately not had the training in understanding and governing to defend their church against its opponents.
 The archbishop declared that the trou- ble would continue, and that the church in the end would defeat the efforts of the state and come into the full exercise of it's rights and liberties

EUFAULA MILLS TO
 START AGAIN SOON
CHEWALLA PLANT HAS BEEN IDLE FOR SOME TIME BUT WILL GET UNDER WAY WHEN OPERA TIVES ARE SECURED.

Eufau1a, December 3O-(Special. )-Ar- engagements have been perfected whereby the Chewalla cotton mills here, which have been closed down for the past four or five months, will resume operations. If possible to secure operatives 1t is the in- tention of the management to start up the plant this week. B. B. Mckenzie and his son, Zenith, will be in charge as here tofore, and every effort will be exerted in the way of Judicious financiering to put 1t on a paying basis.
 Unfortunately the plant became deeply involved and reached point where 1t was deemed advisable to cease operations un- til an adjustment of the affairs could be satisfactorily arranged This, it seems, has been accomplished successfully, but upon what basis could not be ascertained. However, it Is hoped that 1t can be re- stored to it's former prestige The renewal of this excellent industry within the city is hailed with great delight by the citi- zens, and is believed will result in high ly beneficial consequences to this section of the state,

EUFAULA SALOON
 MEN ARE MIGRATING
Licenses Have Been Raised and Dis pensary is Expected to Start Dur
 ing Spring Months.

Eufaula, December 30.-(Special.) )-An- ticpating the dispensary movement which was recently voted favorably for this city and county beat, two of the saloon men will close doors on the first of next month and seek homes in other cities. Four, however, have decided to remain and will secure license as heretofore and await more stringent measures The mat ter will be taken up when the legislature convenes in January, but it is believed that it will be vigorously contested.
 At late meeting of the city council that body raised the license tax on open saloons from five hundred to eight hun dred dollars, which permits the privilege for those who desire to continue, and the question as to whether this license can be revoked and the action of the legisla- ture are the incentives that brought about the determination of the remaining sa- loon men. Upon the whole it Is the con- census of opinion among the citizens that the dispensary will go into effect here about the middle of the spring months.
