An ice crram festival took p'ace at the Com punj *a mammoth store last Saturday evening. There was quito a large crowd out eating ice cieam and drinking all kinds of soft drinks which Mr. Cumniing8 so thoroughly understands how to prepare. One can judge of the success of the affair when Mr. Cummings reports that lie served forty gallons of ice cream and sold hundreds of drinks besides. The festival was partially for the bent fb of tho Second Baptist and the Second Methodist churehep, as one-third of tho proceeds were divided between tho two churches. We understand another is to be given next Saturday night. If you want to enjoy an hour in the evening go down, take some cream, a few jlrioks and hike a look over the big store by electric light. With their large electric fans, ice cream and cold drinks they will keep )0u cool, for a while at least. A Plant Yon Read About. Mr. Cummings, the affable and courteous manager of the soda fountain and icc cream business at the Company store took us around through the lower regions of the building, where he showed us ills den. Here is where lie charges li s fountain, makes his syrups, mixes his extracts, prepares his cream and churns it. He lias, we think we can say without successful contradiction, one of tho most thoroughly cqnipped plants in the up country. He uses two mammoth freezers holdincr twenty cations oae.h his four or five steel fountains connected with the dispenser above?can freeze fifteen gallons of cream in thirty minutes ?-cau charge ;md empty his fountains one At a tiim with )ut disoo meeting or touching them. lie handles ten lj thirteen hundred pounds of ice daily ?uses two fifteen gallon receptacles to keep sweet milk in, and the way he can get about and wait on half a dozen at once and attend to all these things up stairs and down stairs, and still hold his temper, and even have a pleasant word i and a smile to a reporter who is nosing i around is a caution to snakes. There i may be other turtles in the tank "may j be" but we don't know it. lie is cer- ' Lainly the "only oyster working here." i Old Reliable Spreading' A. II. Foster & Co., "The Old Hp- ( liflble, is spreading out again. We i thought they surely had room enough with their enormous Moor space up stairs, lown stairs an 1 middle ways, possible more than any two concerns in town together, but we stepped in there a few ' out of the TlghC'YAudJ.hem hustling goods j learned they wore not going to move, that no cyclone had knocked the house silly ; but they were simply clearing out of the way of the carpenters who are adding shelf upon shelf until the high ceiliugis reached. Expressing some surprise at this extraordinary shelf building, we were informed that it meant shoes; slices for the rich, shoes for the poor, from center to circumference, from door to door. For old. for young, for largo or small, the Old Reliable can fit them all. This extending of the shelf room to the ceiling Will almost double their* holding capacity. We understand both sides are going to be fixed the same way. This concern must surely lie doiog a thumping business to spro'ad out so oftrn and so extensively, b it we could hirdy expect it to be otherwise. Why? because tliey are advertisers? they advertise in The Times, therefore tliey reach the people, tliey know how to advertise, therefore they attract the attention of the l>eople to what they have to say. The l>eop'e road, rellect, then go and \\i\y. Seer. Moral?go advertise apd do bitwise. TurnerWoott. At. the home of tho brldo at Kolton, lust Friday, Aug. 22, Miss Luln Wood was married to Mr. Minter Turner, of this plnco. Tho mnrriugo was a quiet nfToir. Mr. Edgar Norman, who did tho honors of the occasion to the grooin, bolng the only friond present, outside the immediate families. Mr. and Mrs.) Turner left on the midday train for a week's sojourn in the mountains of North Carolina. Miss Wood is one of Union County's most charming young ladies, lovely in face and character; while Mr. Turner is decidedly one of our most excellent nnd popular young men, having all tho traits that oomi bine to make a christian gentlemnn ; (nnd irt his business career has made an onviable reputation. On Septem ber 1st Mr. Turner assumes a responsible position with Messrs. Rigsby S I Co., of Manning, S. C , the largesl I dry goods and cotton merchants ol that section.

The Mayor's court was in session, and the room was crowde 1 with witnesses and spectators. When the alarm was given it created a regu'ar stampede, and a rush was made for the door. The court room was cleared instanter. It was soon learned that the tire was over at Mrs. Jeter's, beyond] i he factory, and everybody had soon gatheiel around the burning building, Judge, lawyers, etc. The crowd got there too late to do anything except tear down some fencing to prevent the flames from getting to another near building. The buildings burned were two stables and a crib. Fortunately the buildings were empty, excepting somS shucks in the crib and a calf in oue of tlie stables. The calf was gotten out eafe. The lire hail gained such headway that the buildings fell in about the time the crowd got thore. Only a short while ago several bales of cotton were storod under tbe shed of these buildings, but fortunately it had beeu moved out some days when the (ire occurred. It is always bad at best to h ive our buildings destroyed l\y fire, but it is certainly a streak of luck that these buildings were empty. The loss is probably between S-'lOO and $"?00. Mrs. 1 Jeter's family were awakened by tho j alarm bell over in town. It is not known i how the fire originated, some think it ll.A ~ O 1 -A* 1 mi; wuia. ui iiu lucunuiiuy, outers UllhK J It was from tramps smoking pipes. There hail been no lire on that part of the premises that day. ? ? Letter from Honto, Mrs. J. IT. Wilbnrn and her two children are visiting f. iends and relatives at Dross Keys, S. (J. i Mr. W.

It Is a strange colncidenca that his brother William, of the Union Cotton Mills, should have one of his children to die the same morning. Quite a number of tenement wooden cottages are being built under the supervision of Z. E. Collins. It is reasonable to suppose that more important buildings will soon follow which will be reported at the right time.
