In this issue appears a notice of subscription to to the Capital Stock of the "Union War'house Company," another ucw enterprise, The object of this eompan\',&s appears from their application for Charter, will be to buy and sell, store and uiake adranoee on cotton, corn, farm products, fertilizers and golds, wares ahd merehonttie. In addition to (bat they are author vised to do a real eslato and brokerage business. Tbey will comtnenco operation unier their oharter at an early dato. The Union lures tment Co. liad its land sale at Carlisle'Tuesday. There was about sisiy acres sold exclusive of streets and illuj ways, divided into sixty lots. it brought iu l ie aggregate about thirty-one 'iu idred dollars. Sheriff Long said that U< y gave the peoplo some barguns, nud at the same tiuie the company was very well satisfied with the sales. They propose to have another sale next yea-, as they have a good deal of land there. Tho foreign dispatcbts are still tilled with the continued allrocities, and cruelties >i the brutal Turks to the helpless Ariseuiuns. Such continued m,rsicres have no paralell in this century and for brutality and wantvuuess have hardly ever been exec ided. It i? useless for us to say what ought to bedone.fr,* Tirkey borders on nations that are both civilised and christianix d. But it is a disgrace to civilisation and a shome to humanity that mutual jea'ouey between christian nations should bold , th:ir hands from avenging tho blood of their murdered brothers. It is not from fear of Turkey but from fear of onsanother that tho pousrs fail to. aot. And while tbry hesitate chriatiana are being murdered. The accounts are sickening, tut wc arc powerless to help them, other thin to give money to am those Buffering fiom cold aud hunger, who may be murdered at any time. Every now and then we hear some ene say thr.t the young men are coming to the front. Well, that may bt-the case. but the observation often eimes from one gettirg aleug in years whocxnei to that cinclusion lie tune he eves bis old p.ayuiales, who arc growing old with him occupying prominent positions. It is cot so much that the po?i? ions arc coming to the young men, as the "youog men" by paseiug through yeari of "Xperieuco are fitting themselves for and attaining to position. We know that time li:cs and that we are getting elder. bu> we take little account of that fact in our though' a and those who used to be young in on ate young men" still-'young uieu of t hirty-fi v.* j ?r forty. It is a strange fact, that, un'ers the spirit has beon broken by disease or ! trouble, few men of even sixty or seventy years of age consider themselves ol J. The ablest, or these whom fortune favors, or those who have the patronago of power, are the ones that will get to tuo front, as has always bsen the ease. Chnstinss is almost here and tho mer Sant9 are prepared for it. They hare the ' x prettiest and largest stocks ever brought to ] ir town, and they are displayed in a man. ner seldom surpassed. Of course they havs heon literally "charged" by the people for the past few days, and the rush still con > tinaes. Home of the merchants and many ;> of th^'^rl's on special days hiive not had | ** i+tne to g > to dinner. This stale of things has a double meaning: First that there are better times among the , people, more money to spend for luxuries : ft'id a'so f?r necessities. Good prices for c iton has brought this about. When (be farmers have money the country prospers and when produce is low and it takes all of the crop to pay for supplies all of us suffer bj it. The second point is that L'nion is drawing the trade. There was a liuio when peoole would almost pass Union and go to other markets. Tlint state of things no longer exists, Union is drawing the crowds and only those pass her by who ore willing I > cut rff their nose to spite their faco. | ? The two mormons who havo been preachtii g> nud distributing their literature over Union and adioiiiiiirr counties for several f month* have commenced to push their "mis unary"' work into the towns.

The review the business changes and the new enterprises among our people given ou the front page will doubtless be fouud in. oamplelo. Wo cauid only h pe to give the important enterprises. There have be n so many of t' eso however that it woulu not be astonisiiing if some of them have born overlooked. The most consiJer. ' able en' rpriso in tuwu and one of the large 1 enterprises ct the state, the uew (otton Mill, Uuiou's pride, is mentioned only brief* ly because it has been written about so much of lato both at liouie and abroad and is so thoroughly identified with progressive 1 Union, that it needed no reminder, and to have givcu u history of its beginning and i progress would h ive required more spnee tkan we hud at our disposal. This may be added at present, however about the New Mill: When the President Mr. T. 0. Duucau proposed to tinish the work in time for the crop of 18%, people who comprehended the vastness of (lie plans and tho amount of work necessury to be done thought it almost an impossibility. Ilut if these people will g > src the work now, at the second st ory wall is almost completed, they will be seep* tical no longer. It is a tremendous enterprise, aud is requiring an 1 iaunonse amount of thought aud work, but it has behind it a man who is cqua'ly able to plan and execute, an l who is thorough mister of tho situation. Our review slnws n deal of progress atuong '.iis merchauts, b it other things mire certainly mark our decide I step forward, among which may he mentioned the rise in the value of Ucal Estate, tha urgauixition ef new enterprises by wealthy aud can* J lions Ousiucss men, and the increase in the business of the railroad a' this point. Next year we will doubtless gsin in population at least twenty-five hundred and we may hope to comme <cj the year 18'J7 < with a city of OtiOO sou's. Tke Discovery Surctl Ills Life. s Mr. G.

The result was a unanimous endorsement last Friday afternoon of the committee's idea. They had experts to come here and survey the grounds and they say after thoroughly going over that Union can have water works and electric lights for $3,000, waterbo_ ing brought three miles from a clear stream amplo to supply water, so the experts testified for a town of 60,000.
