M&" The eolored Odd Fellows had an
anniversary parade and Supper last Monday.
The parade passed off very creditably;
but at the Sapper there was >00 muqh
''blind tiger" whiskey aboard; and came
wary near ending in a fatal riot. Night
Marshal; Drayton Smith was sont fur, but
there was too much mad drunk for any one
nam to que'l, and he was handled pretty
r roughly. Town Marshal Rose was sent for
and promptly appeared in the battle hall
with a posse of determined assistants, and
after arresting one or two ol the ringleaders
restored quiet. We hear that kniveB were
used freely and two men had their coats
out up and received some bad flesh wounds.
tST" We were greatly disappointed last
week in not receiving ex'ra copies of the
Governors Message to be sent to our subectibeis.
We wrote to a Columbie paper for
them but received no reply, and wo have att-ibut'd
the failure to one of two causes:
Either our letter miscarried, or, which is
more likely to be the cause, we did not enclose
the "cash, or its equivalent," with the
Order. It tskts t<uh, on or be/ore delivery,, to
run even a country newspaper.
We give only a portion of the' Message
that is mostly devoted to the dispensary law,
aad can do no more.

WHAT A CHANGE ! J
WHEN we came to Union, little more than two years ago, bHB
you were paying "old reliable" long time one hun- 9 Hj
dred per cent,'' on your Dry Goods, Shoes, Clothing, Hats, etc.
Our coming was like a bomb in the enemy's camp. We lead
the war on high prices, and today you can buy your goods in
Union cheaper than they are sold in any other town in the
State.
When we first opened up with goods all marked in plain
figures aud ONE CLOSE price to everybody, some of our
competitors told you we could not go on selling goods as^ we ..
had commenced and live. Well, perhaps, if we had paid time
prices for our goods and then lost fifteen or twenty-five per
cent, on bad accounts, we would have gone ruder. But we
are still here, and today can give you some of the best bargains
yet offered you.

Don't buy anything in the Dry Goods line until you have

and posted yourself. No trouble for us to show goods, and
always remember that anything you buy from us, should you
become dissatisfied with your bargain before using, bring it
