The Union Post Oflice has been supplied

Fine Oats. (
Dr. Hamilton brought into our oflice ]
Monday morning one of the finest j
samples of oats that we have socii'this ,
season. The bunch was taken from a i
held of six acres which will average four >
and a half to live ftet high and well
headed. They were grown by l)r. It <
It. Jeter on Col. It. L. Coleman's place |
near Sedalia. They are grown from ,
seed from the Georgia Experimental .
Station and are known as the Apples ]
varieties. Dr. Hamilton says this patch |
of oats will yield from 50 to 75 bushels j
per acre.

As there are quite a number of candidates
for the rllice of Mayor of the
town of Union what is the matter with
calling a meeting and having each of the
candidates for the poeition of Mayor
speak at this meeting. Union lias got
to be quite a city and the oflice of Mayor
is an important one, and it could do
harm to have candidates for this honor
express themselvts before the voteis of
the town in regard to their ideas of the
proper conduct of the oflice cf Mayor,
the needs of the town and the best
methods of meeting these needs, etc.
It can do no liaim and may do a deal of
good. Call the meeting gentlemen, get
on the stump and let us hear from you.

Coming up town Tuesday evening Mr. ,
Paul McNally and Mr. J. A. Brown
stopped to look at the tracks made bv ^
tlie Automobile. One of Union's up j
town merchants exclaimed exeitedly. j
"Boys you are too late; if you had got 1
here a few minutes sooner you could 1
have seen the Automobile." Paul McNally,
whose quick wit is always equal ^
to the occasion, replied "ray, is that the
Hist time you ever saw an Automobile ? J
Why we have two down at the Company \
store, come down some time and take a [
ride.V The merchant was completely *
doiTe for, and he replied pretty hotly, *
"You have nothiug of the kind, you
never saw an automobile in your life,"
and they had the horse laugh on him. j:
Mr. C. L. Allen Dead.
It is with sadness that we chronicle t
the death of one of Union's landmarks, 1
Mr. C. L. Allen. Mr. Allen has lived *
many years in Union and had a large t
number of friends both in town and the J
county. He was associated with Mr. 1
\V. E. Robinson in the woodworking I
and blacksmithing establishment of t
Hobinson & Allen for a number of years.
He was coroner of Union county lor one n
term and has served his town as a mem- e
ber of the town council. He was a good ^
neighbor, a true friend and an industrious J
citizen. He was full of patriotism and 1
tcok a prominent part in the campaign c
in 187G. Wtll do his many frien* re- o
member how he and Mr. Gerard Dolick c
took the little cannon around and helptd a
to make the campaign memorable. a
Mr. Allen was seemingly in good o
health Sunday morning and he tiad o
walked down to Mr. i'igier's home a d
mile from town. Mr. Pigler is living b
it is suid in the house in wh'ch Mr. ?
Allen was married, and it is a bingular u
occurrence that his death occur led iu the r<
house in which ho was married. Mr. u
Allan was OS y?-ars of age. Three young t?
men are now left to mourn the loss ot cl
both parents, their mother having died h
only a few mouths before the father, u
They have our heartfelt sympathies. ?
The remains were interred at 4:30 f<
o'clock Monday afternoon in the Meth- g
(xlist church yard. The fuueral was o
conducted from the First Baptist church, n
Kev. L. M. ltice officiating. The pall c
bearers were Messrs. It. W. Tinsley, J. a
C. Hunter. W. I). Wilkins, J. T. Sexton, ti
II. K. Scaife, J. II. McKissick. u
The ladies brought an abundance of i>
(lowers with which they covered his a
grave, thereby paying the last sad but
beautiful tribute to the deceased. r

a hustling salesman among our mer- a
chants. lie came to Union five years t
ago and hia services were engaged by Mr.
W. D. Arthur, at that time doing a I
commission business. He has been with u
Mr. Arthur ever since in the capacity of
salesman. The growth of Mr. Arthur's J
business has been pheuominal, aud it is
uo doubt in part due to tlie valuable as- c
sistauce rendered him by Mr. flames' indefatigable
push and energy. t
Mr. C. E. Lipscomb, of Asbury, n
Cherokee county, has been m the com- h
mission or wholesale business in Union h
something over a year, and liasestablished b
himself in the estimation o( the merchants
of the town as a man of excellent
business qualifications. That he has made
a success of hia business is evidenced by r
his goiiig in with Mr. Hames to open
up a business on a much larger scale P
necessitating the investment of consid- *
eraoie additional capital. We predict that f
thtse two gentlemen will forma strong c
team aud will pull well in harness. ,
They will carry everything iat he grocery
line both heavy aud fancy and will make v
a specialty of tiay and grain. You will a
not make a mistake by giving the*a j,
young men a liberal share of your patron- t
