T HE UNION TIUVIES M The uiost remarkable elo*emcnt we have heard of lately was that of Simeon Cross, a GcorgiaD, who was arrested in Columbia lust week. Two married women, one being the mother of several children, eloped with Cross who has a wife aud three children. They were all three arrested by the Chief of l'o* lice at Co uuibia, at the instigation of the father of one of the women, and taken oack to Georg'a. Were you surprised that our towu was feuud to have a population of dUOO? Are you surprised to sec so many stoics be,ngo caned up aud repaired uni new men sluuding behind the counters? Would you lie surprised to hear that numerous enquires are being made daily about real estate here? What docs it all menu? Why ,t means just this, lliut our dear old towu has awakened from her lethargy, that her -ntcrpiiscs arc in the hands of aicu of eucr. gy uud push, and thai, others seeing our good works aie constrained to cast their lo s in a town that is ou the h gli road of jhospority. ? i u ?piie of ilic reports that the eottou crop will be uiuch smaller iu this'couuty than it was last jcar we arc gial to note that our farmers seem more hopctnl thou lieretot'orc. A good crjp ot food stull' lias beeu made ? corn, peas, sorghum etc?an l most of our .people will have meat enough lor another year, i'coplo got in lilTorcut about cottoti last year auywuy; and tho truth is we'd ubout us well not make any ul alias to make it and sell it ut 11 and five cents. There was nit as much cottcu planted .ind what was planted was not as highly fertilised, so no wonder we didn't mako us much. But it looks now like what is trade will biing a bitter price. Let us iearu a lesiou iu tuiih Fiiuiiv;. i?u ua.ti vi v; jtcja ui t j iju111 to three bales ui live cents. In other wolds it looks liku i\ short crop w ill upprouch vci > near to a large one m value. Let's have a stioit crop every year and turu our attention more and more to making ull the me cssaries of life at home. There arc numerous inquiries being made about The Farmers Mutual File Insurance Association aud the assessments due to make good certain losses recently sustained by Mrs. M. C. barter ami J. M. Henderson. We believe thai this Association is a good institution and ought to be pu'rouizetl by more of our farmers. We take pleasure therefore in giving the tigures in the above losses, which arc furnished us by the Treas. Mr. <ico. Monro. Loss by Mrs. itartor $700.00; loss by Mr. Ilendoison >1 It.00; peu-e of levying assessment, stamps. etc. !0 lota!, $722 20. The total amount of insnr ance in the c>unty is Slti ibh.j (to. The as se.-sment would therefore bo ! on tlie thousand. Tt?is is very cheap insurance ami people ought not to get scared on the first | assess men'.
