Union county 1ms one elderly family Lliat lias not forgot the old-time ways They still live in primitive style; they have the old-time spinning wheel aw: doth loom, which is yet made to do daily jervice for the family. They spin the bread; weave the cloth, and make then jwn clothes. This family is composed )t Mr. James Seigler, his wife and twe naiden daughters, Mr. Seigler is now )l years of age and his wife is 8G. They ire happy and content with their simple md primitive mode of living. The household was made sad, however, recently by an accident happening to the >Id gentleman, from which he is slow to recover at his advanced age. His mare brew him in his yard a short while ago, ind injured him severely. It was a pahetic sight to see the mare after she laid brown her master, apparautly realizing >y his not getting up from the ground, hat she had hurt her old master; she vent to him, put her head down and ubbed it against him, and showed every sign of regret and sympathy. She was so much affected that she refused to eat vhen food was given to her. She loved ler master, and the accident surely was mintentional upon her part. It is one if the best evidences of a fciadliearted nan and a gentle master, when the dumb nute thus expresses its affections. We lope that the good master will soon rc:over and be able to get around again, dr. Seigler up to the time of his arc;lent was hale and hearty and worki d laily on his farm. . m A Delightful Occasion. One of the most enjoyable occasions of he season was the entertainment which ras criven at. Mrs. A. P. II. Walknr's lome last Tuesday night. Mrs. Walker tad arranged a most elalx>rate decoration f the interior of her* house for the ocasion, and the sight was most beautiful o behold. The hall and slair way was most beauifully decorated with roses, evergreens nd climbing ivy. Three rooms were brown open to the guests. Golden rod, vergieen and roses were artistically rranged about the rooms lending enhantment to the scene. Small tables rere arranged about the rooms, at which efresliments were served, upon each able was a handsome vase of beautiful oses. One of the rooms was especially eautiful, and evidenced exquisite taste a the arrangement of the decorations, besides the roses, evergreens, plants and ints, to be found in tbe other rooms his room contained a center table, beleath a beautiful chandelier, from this handelier were suspended, four pure vhite ribbons, one of which wna carried 0 each coiner of the table, where it was leld in place by a beautiful bouquet of lowers. In the center of the table was 1 pyramid of roses and ferns, the walls md windows were adorned with trailing fines and roses, tbe whole forming a >erfect vision of lovliness.

It was an entertainment given to the rouug people complimentary to her laughters, and those who were fortunate snough to be present enjoyed a most deightful evening. The most delicious ake and ice cream and other refreshoents were served by four sweet little lfs whose rosy, dimpled cheeks and lappy countenances lent additional weetness to the delicacies they served, ilisses Madora Duncan, Ruth Spears, Innie Rodger and Susie Tinsley. Two of the special among the many lelightful features of the evening were he fortune telling by Miss Ethel Walker n which hand painted cards were used, diss Ethel painted the cards hvrself. acli card represented some phase of the luman life, and the tests elicited much musement, and the fortunes were posibly not all wide of the mark; and the Irawing cards, upon which each guest vas to draw the object designated on the ard.

One of the largest deals in land tha has occurred in Union in some tim > wa made last Saturday. Mr. Jno. A. Fan bought the beautiful home place of Hon Arra. Munro. deceased, with oS9 acre adjoining land just outside the corporat, limits of the town and near the Monarcl Mill.

A Disastrous Fire. A very destructive fire occurred at th? home of of Mr. J. E. Cotield, in tin Goshen Hill township last Saturdaj night. Mr. I. M. Mobley was in towr Monday, looking after the purchase ol now machinery, and kindly gave us tin facts regarding the fire, which are aboui as follows: He, Mr. Mobley, runs a jiortable gin and his gin had been taken to Mr. Cc(1 eld's late Saturday evening for tin purpose of ginning. The gin was sel up, and one bale ginned Saturday even ing. The work was to be resumed Mon day. But some rascal of an incindiarj came along about 12 o'clock Saturdaj night and set tire to the gin house ant the building with all it contained ant] Mobley & Son's gin were burned up. It was a teriible calamity to Mr. CoHeld and his son and two croppers. At of their cotton was in the gin house, as well as Mr. Cofield's entire outfit of farming implements and a one horse wagon. Miss Mary Cofield, who had been sick with a case of typhoid fever and was convalescent, discovered the fire. Tin excitement prostrated her again, and sin is in a critical condition. HM- 10 i i " ? * xi.cie were i? uaies ot couon uurnec in the gin house and 0,000 bundles o fodder l>esides a large quantity of bay The loss is estimated at $1,500, whili Mr. Mobley's fine gin cost $300. It wa: a terrible loss to all concerned, as then was not a dollar's worth of insurance or any of the property. Mr. Mobley has shown that he doe: not propose to cry over spilt milk, am ! he went immediately to work to get s new gin, and had the telegraph wires a work Tuesday. He expects to be readj , in a week to resume ginning, and liopei that his customers will have a little pa \ tience and hold their work for him lie will resume woik at the earlies possible moment. ? The Racket Opening. The New York Racket had its annua opening last Friday, and an effort seeme< to have been made to surpass the beauti ful display of former occasions. Mr James Powel, having a very troublesome felon on one of his hands, was at a dis advantage in arranging the goods in hi usual artistic manner, and the bulk o this duty fell to the lot of Mr. T. M McNeace. He, however, proved himsel equal to the occasion and the result wa1 a ft J! 1 * * ? ** ? nue uiMpniy or uressgoous covering un shelving from top to bottom, with th< colors artistically blending.

Thi 1 department was also profusely decorate with bunting and streamers. 1 But as usual, the center of attractioi 1 was the millinery department, the en 1 trance to which was a tripple arch 0 evergreens with wreaths susi>ended fron 1 center of each. These wreaths encircle incandescent eleotric lights, giving i pretty effect to the scene. On the insid were hats for girls, hats for misses, hat 1 for ladies, young and old, hats trirr.mc 1 in half a hundred different designs am artistically arranged as Miss Snider s 1 thoroughly understands how to arrange ' She was materially assisted in her work b : Miss Theopa Sartor,her assistant millinei i The whole department was profuse!
