The Loom and the Wheel.
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.

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. Mrs. Walker

It was an entertainment given to the

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

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

A Big Land Deal.
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

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
