agents on the road.
Great nreDarations are beintr made at
the exposition grounds in Charleston for
the coming Interstate Exposition. We
think Union should send a large delegation
to the exposition, and from what
we hear we think she will. It will bo
the grandest thing ever seen in this state
and should receive a liberal patronage
from every section.
We have received a copy of the paper
read by Mies R. M. L. before the missionary
society of Sedalia, which ij a
beautiful tribute to the memory of the
late and lamented Miss Mattie Browning,
who was a most diligent aud faithful
worker in that society. We have
not sufficient open space to insert it this
' week but will do so in our next issue.
Dennis Thomson was convicted last
week on the charge of having burned
Mr. T E. Cofleld's twrn some months
ago. He was recommended to the
mercy of the court and a sentence of
ten years at hard labor in the peniten
nary was imposed, witnout a recommendation
to the mercy of the court he
would have been sentenced to hang.
We hope this will have a tendency to
put a check on these tire bugs.

On Monday night the commissioners |)(,
ordered that the electric li..hts burn all ca
night. In Itehalf of the citizens of the
town and especially those who are comladled
to rise early, we thank the com- va
missioners for this action upon their part, j,,
and tru?t that the extra remuneration pt,
from additional subscribers will over
balance any extra expense the burning S )
of the lights ail night have incurred.
We hear nothing but expressions com- p,
mending the commissioners for this ac- Sl,
tion. While weave about it we will say 'eo
that the Union street lights arc not sur- q,
passed anywhere. This was brought w
forcibly to our attention when we weie ?v.
in Spartanburg this week, and while
Spartanburg is said to have a veiy line u<:
system of lights we do not think the
street lights compare with our brilliant
arc lamps.
This is How They Talk. J'
The following sentence taken from a
letter just received from a subscriber in r,
Arksansas, shows how Tn.: Times is
appreciated abroad: "Enclos d liad one ar
dollar for renewal to The Times to 1902. Wi

it to stop." He knows how to appreciate
a good thing when ho sees it. w]

Dr. hinder Says: ju
"Enclosed And one dollar to pay for ->t

your town the past Christmas after an oil
absence of fifteen years, and I actually di
didn't know the town. Whenever mv di
time expires to The Times notify me of
but dr. not stop the paper." This is ee
another evidence that our far-away pi
menus appreciates tiie times as a wel- nt
come visitor. We can very well imagine pe
that Dr. Lander was astonished at the won- pi
derful growth of our town during the 1"? at
years of his absence. Dr. E. L. Linger 01
is a resident of Black foot, Texas. We.
hope he will not make the time between
his visits so long in the future.

Wonderful Exhibition 1*
of Brute Intelligence, ur
gi
Prof. W. A. Meehan, the famous dog le
trainer, gave three exhibitions in Union ?h
last week with his thirteen trained dogs.
A free show was given in the streets in '
which the two grey hounds, Mark and j ?>s
FJy, were made to do some astonishing j^l
leaping. They leaped a distance of some ko
.10 feet clearing an obstacle 11 feet high.
This was astonishing to our citizens, but gr
it was only a small sample of the aston- S(
ishing performance of the dogs upon the
stage. We can safely say that no such til
exhibition of brute intelligence was ever st
witnessed in the city before. The dogs lo
were made to do almost everything ex- as
cept talk, and they went so far as to fr
work tbeir mouths as if endeavoring to in
speak to the professor. We do not mind w
giving credit when credit is due, and we It
confess that we have never seen any- lg
thing to equal this dog show. Prof, fe
Meehan has been training dogs since ho <?t
was six years old, and lie has gotten it ii>
down tine. To Vive briefly an idea of cc
how the dogs performed. Two dogs to
represented Fitzsimmona and Jeffries, kt
wore boxing gloves, and fought three fo
rounds as natural as the professionals ea
they represented, even included the ar
knock-out blow. The referee was shot, ar
the murderer was hunted down and to
hanged, the scaffold being built by the ar
dogs. A hearse was used and a funeral w
procession followed the remains. Mrs. w;
and Mr. Malony comes in rolling their l*
baby in the carriugt, take seats and T
spend a pleasant evening, while another m
dog rolls the baby about in the fresh air. th
There were three clown dogs that kept G
the house in u roar. The dogs walked sp
about on their hind feet as natural as fr
fol ks, one (log made several ci rcles around ot
the stage with a hind and a front foot off
the same side clear off the flixur. The af
acrobatic dog, Dan, is a wonder, and
turns backwards lighting on his hind Pi
feet with ferfect ease. The dogs all
know their names and seem to thoroughly
understand every word spoken to them.
They showed to a very good business
here, and we cau say that lho?e who N
foiled to ess th# show missed a treat, a|

u. v v?ui' titles clear to the health ollicer,
e \\v.e allowed to enter the forbidden
ly. Ufion approaching the city we
ere struck with the improved appearice
f tiiis side of the town. We
jtieed that a large number of new
lil tings had bjen erected since iast we
ere mere, and they add materially to
? f irmer appearance of this end of
wu. We noticed that there were
wral vacant spire houses for rent, but
is is possibly accounted for by the fact
at ipiite a number of new stores have
nu tniilt recently, and the merchants
ii, to soyie extent, take choice of store
onn. We found none of those that

rinwle, t lie merchants seemed to aii
doing some business.
Wi were also struck with the handtne
and commodiounstreet cars as they
ad by every lew minutes. We had an
clineion to take a ride to Gleudule

nductor attd our watch we found our
nitetl time would not allow it. But,

?. The street cars give Spar bin burg
rite the appearance of an up-to-date
ty. The sight, made us wish our street
r company would hurry up and get
nion's c ?rs running.
There has been so much moving around
ice we wete last in Spurlatilmi'g that
i* had some ddliculty i:i locating some
otfi acquaintances and friends.
We had a very pleasant chat with
ilitor Henry of that, spicy sheet, the

as rapidly turning out the lirst inn of

iblishtd in the same otlice, and the

It was also our pleasure to meet Mr.

The Boston Pupils Respond.
The readers will remember that some
eeks ago the pupils of the Union
jaded School wrote several letters to
ie pupils of one of the graded schools
'Boston, Mass., regarding the culture
id manufacture of cotton. The pupils
? the sixth grade in the Bunker Ilill
rammar School have replied to those
