UNION COUNTY NEWS Monroe Journal. Mr. Blair Secrest, who lives four miles north of here, thinks automobiles will bankrupt the country before long. He says that many good farmers, iust as soon as they get a few hundred dollars ahead, will invest it in an automobile. Then the expense starts, for it is costly to keep up a machine. Mr. Secrest believes in traveling the old way, and /I m /v lli /\ art iVtrv inc dui^iud i Li iue bank for a rainy day. Mr. Alfred Funderburk says that many people are not observ^ ing the bird law at all, but are already shooting partridges right along. There is but thirty days in which partridges may be killed lawfully in this county. That is between the fifteenth of December and the fifteenth of January. There is no way for the law to be in forced except lor the people who know ot its violation to indict the ones who violate it. Only that will stop the violators. The friends of Dr. Watt Ash craft regret to learn that he will probably lose a portion of the first finger of his left hand as a result of the wound he received three weeks ago. The pain, which was fearful for many days, has subsided, but the end of the finger has become dead and no doubt will have to be taken off. At one time Dr. Ashcraft never slept for five days and nights. A seedy looking fellow, evidently a tramp or a hobo, went around to Stack's cotton office iho rktVior n \r nn/4 nplmrl ntVio4 iiiv viuvt uuj auu aoivV/U w na i cotton was bringing. "Nineteen cents," said Mr. T. W. Huey "have you got any to sell?" "No," said the man, "but at that price I think Til steal a bale." Mr. T. P. Dillon is looking for the man, who two years ago, approached him and said that he wasn't going to support Wilson because he caused the slump in cotton! Mr. Dillon is wohdering whether or not the man har changed bis tune. Master's Sale In obedience to a Decree granted in the case of Underwriters of Greensboro against J. W.
