An Old Subscriber Renews Fond
Memories Of Long Ago.
Editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer:
1t will do you no good should
wait till you are dead, to express my
pleasure and interest in your good
paper.
It is refreshing to get The Enquirer
and we find so much in its columns
that makes it Of real value to an old
York county citizen. We look for Its
semi-weekly visits like looking for an
old friend.
I remember that, thirty-iive years
ago, and more, The Enquirer n-ade Its
weekly visit to cur home, and we
Youngsters crowded around our par
ents and the first thing was TO hear
the story read, and we were always
interested and delighted with 1t
But In the course Of events we left
the old home and The Enquirer and
the friends of our young days, seve7ng
and forgetting, in fact, the old ties that
were then so dear; and since that
time-1SS1-I had not seen a copy OF
The Enquirer.
By a happy chance I visited your
beautiful little city last autumn-my
first visit to York county since left
in 1SS1-and the first visit I ever made
to Yorkville, although born within
twenty miles Of its corporate limits.
Returning last Christmas to fill an
engagement I had previously made
with a friend, I had the good fortune
of getting a wife while there, and got
The ENQUIRER thrown in to boot; so
have enjoyed reading it very much
Its stories are very interesting, and
we are always glad when the postman
brings the paper. Like the close old
sister who read advertisements and
all to get her moneys worth, I read 1t
all because I see even in the adver-
tisements names that are familiar and
parties l used to know.
Your news columns are equal to the
best and largest dailies.
While on my first visit to your city,
I recalled the name Of L. M. Grist, and
remembered him as being connected
with or owner, Of The Enquirer.
could not resist the inclination to see
the venerable gentleman and editor
so I sauntered into the office Of The
ENQUIRER, but Mr. Grist, I was in
formed, was out, and afterwards
learned that the gentleman 1 was look
ing for had long before passed to MS
reward; but | see his work still lives
as is attested by the regular issues OF
his paper.
That reminds me that the man who
has done his work we'll. though he may
pass away, his work will remain.
In my judgment The Enquirer has
served we'll the best interests and the
up-building Of Yorkville and York
county, else it could not have lived the
long and useful life which it has.
Allow me, in conclusion, to say that
Yorkville is a beautiful spot in York
county. Its shaded streets are lovely
Its elegant homes bespeak comfort and
contentment, while the substantial,
public and business blocks to be seen
suggest the enterprise and prosperity
of its citizens and the permanency Oh
the work that has been done. But
space forbids the mention Of it's agri-
-, ....s.. Itta ~ tna
which are among the best to be found
ip any section of The south.
s"1 wish to add only this: l think II
will be impossible to get along without
The Enquirer, so l shall continue to
have it come to my address.
