The fact is the price of grapes has risen from $20 a ton to $100. The much bewailed destruction of the grape industry has not materialized. Almost daily we receive some news item through the mail, some interesting item that we would be glad to publish, but?there is the difficulty! We do not know the author, and hence have to consign the article to the waste basket. Ireland is ill a fair way to lose all that has been trained by the demand that its representatives to a conference with the British government be received as representatives of a sovereign state. To grant Ireland's request is to consent to the dismemberment of the British empire, and it is certain that the British will accept no such conditions without lighting to a finish. We may expect to see the papers full of the "Fatty" Arbuckle case for the next six months. The reading will be not very edifying. But we have the privilege of skipping such >, articles, if we so desire. "Fatty" Arbuckle has brought upon himself a very severe punishment for his sins in the loss of his place in the world of popularity. He will not C regain his former place, no matter . ^ how the case against him enns is 1 r ' "" Will Zi<K k fho tax levy for the federal gov &1 ertynent next year is to average $f{0 per capita for every man, woman and child in the nation.

It is to be hoped that there will he a full attendance upon the mass meeting to be held in the courthouse tomorrow at noon. The meeting of the holl weevil menace is a problem to be solved. Come to the meeting. Do not be so unwise as to suppose that Union County will he able, without effort to take care of the situation. Next year Union County will feel the full weight of the holl weevil destruction. The weevil is here this year in large numbers; next year the holl weevil will sweep everything before him. unless you find out how to combat him. M?%,. * __* '*y - ?.<* i -^,r * " '< .. ..

People are in a rush picking cotton and selling it as fast as they get it out. I believe the farmers are going , to sell this time and not hold. 1 hear f some say they have old cotton on hand g and they are going to still hold it 0) and sell the new cotton as fast as they gei it out. Business is picking up on ' all lines and it is a great thing. Even 20 cents cotton is making everybody feci good for when the farmer gets a Ci good price for his cotton all busines S( fells the effect of it. I met two farmers of Pinckney , township the other day eoming from ; the market, where they sold cotton at 20 cents and they renewed for the j' p.". per. Others will do the same thing.
