Lancaster News, February 13: Why
shouldn't the buyer of cotton go over
the country hunting for it, just as the

get. Whenever you have to beg
man to buy a thing, you rarely get

gate a huge SNOWFALL that entirely
blocked the entrance. This mammoth
pile of snow had been rolled from
quite a distance along the sidewalk
by small boys" who, overcome with
exertion, abandoned it in the afore-
said place. The colonel hesitated about
tackling the job the day being one of
rest, but remembering acts Of neces-
sity and mercy are excepted by the
Shorter Catechism from the class OF
Sunday labors, and striving always to
live up to the precepts Of that little
book, which he used to ride on gray
mule from the farm to Fort Mill to
