Will it Benefit Union?
8 We tire of these who believe that ra;lroad
- never injure but always benefit the town
r ami counties througo which they ar
r located, therefore we do not sympathize
with many of our ciiizens who are uov
encouraging glootny forebo ling* of injury
to the town from the building of the
1/ Three C'a l>ivi?ion. They p:cture a number
of email towns acatiored along the
lioe, with enterprising merchants an 1 stick*
4 of merchandise that will take much of the
e business front the county seat. WcP, new
town* are generally peopled by new e'tizens
thereby increasing the business, the population
and, consequently, the business y^tireE
^^^r^cmToty. J *
No'new town over reduced the business,
the po]>ulation, or the price of properly in
a county. If Kclton should have 2,old in<
luibitniits ttvo years from now, it will be
because her location and business facilit:e?
are favorable, ami the peoplo of that town
and vicinity, seeing ami appreciating their
.r|.v.t<.ui^ i" inn ! up n town, went in
work ninl did something?perhaps bu It *
Cot t in Factor/?to attract people and litninc
s to it. There would be just ss many
people in the country around Keltoti as before,
nii'l 'J,0(W mure in the town. It was
ever so; mtil we point to Spartanburg nn<!
tlrcen viile, tmth surrounded witli flourishing
town*, lint both advancing rapidly in every
element tint goes to increase their business,
their wcil'li, their population nn<l importattoo,
as practical proofs of the corrootmas
of oil' p 'silt -it.
Itui. if Kclton, or any otbor point on tho
rool, should have 'J.ihm) inhabitants in two
or three yenis from now, surely Unio ?,
with oil ihe S'lvnni;iji"< of nu c?tiblislied
business centre, being the County sent, with |
t wo railro.n Is ati'l 1,-ftM) inhabitants to comtitencc
on, we repeal, surely Union ought |
then to have u' least -1,000 inhabit nits.
.Vritl wea.sk oiir ciiijtens, in nil can l< r, I
why we should he afmi I of towns springing j
I uo around us; nr."I why our business att I i
prosperity would not increase with thein ? I
Wo have ilie start of them in every respect
and wc have the n cans to keep ahead, if we
will on'y lay as'dca great part of our selfishness
and work more for the general welfare.
Ituilrnads do no', in themselves, increase 1
the litis in ess of a lown or t'ounly, but 1
they provide the great facilities through
and by whicb busino'S of any and all kinds f
may be increased ; and, as we have
often i.ai 1 before, lite prople of nny locality
who will not embrace tlie ndvantages which

7 A CHEERFUL WIFE.
Hotter than gold to n mnn is a cheerful
r wife. Hut he must do his part toward
19 making her cheerful. It is easy enough to ^
marry a happy woman. Hut the brideexpectant
when she contemplates future years
A of happiness, never think of a husband
1 who sometimes would be as cross as a bear,
0 or go pouting around fer hours without
r speaking to her. Slio never thought of the
long evenings when he would leave her
9 alone to come home nt night from his work,
? an I instead of a smile or kind word, he
1 would pour forth in her ears his awful pro?
fanity over some trifling matter that did not
please him. She never iutngined she xfba to
1 be the miserable wife of a vile drunkard.?
! She had no iden. in fact, there could be anything
in married life but hnppincss, and she
had determined to be happy and tcf ?
tribute her happiness to those urouniN A.
It is not her fault that she dont succeed.?
Men, as a rule, do not exert thomsclves to
secure their wives happiness. The cheerfulness,
the happy hopeful character which
every true woman displays nt the beginning
of marriage requires but a small shnre of
attention ; but it requires attention, and the
husband that forgets this will find amid all
his losses that ii is iinpossiblo to lose any
treasure as precious ns woman's cheerfulness,
yea, as woman's love. A word to jiqu,
girls, in this short article is in order.
Horn re of the mnn who doesn't know
enough about cheerfulness to understand
its tiiIno in daily life. Such a man jr^l emhraoc
every opportunity to grind thWlhcerfulness
out of his home, to frighten sunbeams
into shadows, and then wonder to
know what is the matter. Such a man is
worse than no husliand at all; an I when
you want a husband, countenance somebody
?!se?somebody who will give you at least
some chance to be happy beyond the honeymoon,
in the daily life of tare and toil and
sorrow which is the portion of men and
women in this world.
THE SUB-TREASURY PLAN *
As all the farmers of Union County may
comprehend the object of the SubtreaW^plan,
we will now try to give it in *
nut-shell. There is now a bill pending beintr.?resCt-8or<iow

money monopoly, which is impoverishing (he ,
pednJ^jrouli cease."
rhy cannot every Alliance favor and
insist upon the adoption of this Sub-treasury
plan? There are more than three thousand
National Hanks in the United States, and
they get ninety per cant, advance o-i the
bonds they place in our vault s, (or warehouse)
1 and we only ask tighty per cent, of the
value of our produce, and propose to pay
all expenses, storage, insurance, & c , for tha
privilege. There arc in the Southern and
Western States SIT counties, all of which
need the assistance of this Sub-treasury
plan. Thin in about one-fourth of the num.
bor of counties in ?he United States.
Since all wealth in created bj^labo*, why
should not our commonwealth protect an<l
help Ric men who .sustain it nn well ns to
help National bankers who add nothing to
the wcnlth of n country and only distribute
the wealth after it is produced?
What is the (Jovernment doing for the
whiskey ring? They are allowed to pi >ce
their productn in bonded warehouses for
three years and receive a large p- rtiou of
its value without interest.
i Arc the farmers and laborers of less con!
nidernlion in the affairs of the (ioverumcnt
than the whiskey manufacturers?
* What do our representatives in Congress,
j and our aspirants for Congressiona^honor.s
r say in regard to thin Sub-treaaur^plin ?
j 1 see that the peerless Vance, of North Caro,
Una, is on the side of the farmer in hi*
struggle to live, and that lie is hearti'y in
e favor of the Sub-treasury plan, which srcnn
* to be thw nio-t feasible plan for granting the
e
t relief for which the farmers arc suffering.
The establishment of I lie Sub-treasury
plan would be a death blow to corners, cornis
bines, trusts and future dca'crs. No longer
if would tlie poor man's cotton be at the heart'
less mercy of the speculator, whose agent
informs him when lie carries h n halo to.
of market that is off so many points ihi*
