We hope every farmer in this
sectioh will attend the agricultural
meeting and free barbecue
here next Monday, January 8th
The Seaboard and Chesterfield
and Lancaster railroads are fur
nishirg the speakers and the
rations. Can't this section furnish
the listeners aod eaters?
Mr. E. C. Bagwell, general manager
of the Seaboard; B. L. Ham
ner, general development agent;
W. Egleston, superintendent of
the Southern Express company;
H. T. Prosser, assistant develop*
ment agent; T. S. Evans, agri
cultural agent, and C. Lane,
general manager of the C. & L.
are all expected to be present,
and thev will have something of
real worth to say to farmers and
prospective farmers. The purpose
of the meeting is to show
the farmers of this section the
advantages of growing cantaloupes
and watermelons for
market in connection with the
other crops grown. Farmers in
other sections are making mon
ey from these crops. These
men say we can do the same.
Will you come out and hear
them?
Peace is not yet. President
Wilson asked the nations at war
to state definitely what they are
fighting for and what would he
necessary to end the war. Ger
many made reply, but evaded
the issue, asking however for a
to discuss terms of
^^^^olfe^nhis time, claimm^^^ff
Germany is insincere and only
makes this move as a war ma
noeuvre. Several other neutrals
have signified a desire to aid
President Wilson in an effort to
bring peace. The rejection of
the German offer by the Allies
does not crush the hops of peace
npomtiatinnc nnd ! > ? ^?:ii ?
uvt,v.?u>.uud, unu iiicic is ami u
chance that a way will be found
to bring about an agreement.
At this time, however, there
seems to be little chance of
peace so long as the armies are
deadlocked. A decisive campaign
must be waged before
terms of peace will be considered
with a real desire for ending
the struggle. The Allies seem
* confident of ultimate victory,
and Germany must accept their
terms or continue to fight, Ger
many has had about enough,
and is willing to concede far
more than at any time during
the war, but still not enough to
cause the Allies to quit. Germany
must lick the Allies or
grant their demands. The form
er she is unable to do, and the
latter she is unwilling to do.
And the fighting goes on.

Pigg?Plyler
One ot the prettiest weddings
of lhe season took place at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. F. A.
Plyler at Dudley, S. CM on Sunday,
Dec. 24th, at three o'clock,
when their daughter. Miss Edith
Fannie, became the bride of Mr.
J. Raymond Pigg.
The wedding ceremony was
performed by Rev. B. S. Funder
burk of Chesterfield in the presence
of a number of friends and
relatives ot the bride and groom.
After the ceremonv a bountiful
supper was served in the
dining room, which was elabo
rately decorated for the occasion.
After spending the night at the
bride's home, the bridal party
drove to the home of the groom
where a bountiful dinner was
served.
The bride is beautiful and ac
complished and numbers her
friends by her acquaintances,
she has taught school for the
past two years. The groom is a
prominent young farmer and
has a host ot friends throughout
North and South Carolina.?A
^rierd.
Of all the crooked faces human
beings ever carried about
the face ot the fellow who makes
half a dozen or more trips to the
express office lor his Christmas
liquor and is turned away emptv
handed again is perhaps the
crookedest. His anxious iace
changes to one of a woe be gone
expression, and he goes away
downcast and a cussin'. The
Chtistmas orders were too much
for the express companies, and
hundreds of packages were delayed
until after Christmas, some
r\ f tliom n o 1n4/\ ?? .J ?
v/ & ftuviu no IUIC Ud O'dlUIU'dy.
One man is known to have
made seven trips to get his gallon,
and others probably made
even more. They were here
from all points and parts of
Union county. Some spent ten
or twelve dollars for auto hire
to secure the stuff, and then
didn't get it until'after Christmas.
It is stated upon good authority
that more liquor was delivered
from the express office here
to residents of Nort Carolina
than to citizens of this^ State
The quart every fifteen days is
only a drop in the bucket for
many them. ' vjitf-iui
Mr. T. D. Hendricks vtfi* recently
moved from , eastern
North Carolina to hrrfarm four
miles east of Pageland, has the
right idea as to road building.
He has straightened the road bv
his home, and ploughed it up
with a two horse plow. Then it
was smoothed and rounded with
a road drag. When this packs
he proposes to clay it. A good
many other farmers in the sand
hill sections would do well to
follow Mr. Hendrick's example.
