The News and | Courier says: "The remarkable progress of the thriving town of Union in (he lust few years has been much talked about and ought to bo of groat encouragement to other communities similarly situated. Union has waxed fat and flourishing because its own people have taken an interest in its industrial development and have contributed of their own means to this purpose.
