Calhoun, who has been employed as book keeper and stenographer at the Buffalo mill several months has resigned to take a course in the Columbia Busiuess College.

Eubanks died at his home in West End Wednesday afternoon after several month's illness. He had lung trouble. lie leaves a wife and child, mother, three brothers, thee sisters and manv friends in Union.

Come, come weak, and cast down, and gloomy men and women, with health and strength ebbing away, come to the fountain of life, and drink of its vivifying waters! There's hope for you bowevoi sick and despondent you may be; there's health and strength and energy as surely as the suu shines and the wind blows. For years, two noted German apientisU i have been experimenting under the guidance of their scientific skill and practical knowledge, with the determination to find a remedy for the restoration of the health. Their investigations have been deep and broad ant) beyond the ltoes of tbe ordinary scientist. If you wish to "live long and prosper" our "Lon) gavita" ad. In another column will tell you how to do so. It Did Hnow. The snow spoken of in (he la*t tone of Thk Times trot h^rr on schedule tiuie. The snow began to fail early Saturday morning and not a few were surprised when they looked out Saturday morning to see that the earth was almost entirely hidden by the beautiful white mantle. Snow continued to fall until about noon Saturday and lay on the ground to the depth of 1$ inches, lc is said that a good snow is au evidence of a good crop to follow. We hope this will prove to be the case this year and that our farmers will reap an abundant harvest. Fire Alarm Tuesday. Our citizens were startled Tuesday afternoon by the lingingof the fire ala tii bell. It wus soon learned tliat the little shack at the rear of the Gibbes House used by Mr. W. D Aithur was on lire. ine dilapidated aflair being old burned vrry rapidly, and tli? 11 tinea leaped high in the air. It was dangerously near the oil mill lint fortunately the wind was not blowing and the Ure company dually got a stream on it and snuffed it out as you would a candle. There were several bundled people soon on the ground watcl ing the sight. Mr. Arthur had something like 400 lbi. of cotton samples in the house which was virtually ruined g| Disreputable Characters. Two negro women and Hussell Crawford, colored, were up before the Mayor Wednesday morning for fighting $10 or 20 days each. Crawford forked over the t*n while the colored damsels took the days. It is a pity that something cannot be done to effectually rid the town of some of the wenches who are habitually on the streets, and constantly before the Mayor's court for tlieir vile conduct. Tbey are a disgrace and a dead expense to the town, and an incarceration of a few days in jail is a picnic to them. They should tie put to crushing stone in the jail jard Suc'i characters are a menace to health and morality. Some stringent measures should be adopted to suppress them. Desirable Real Estate.

Editor Tiijeb:? Last Monday Will Bates, Clarence Jeter, Mr. Uyletj and your uncle Joe visited your oity and circled around among our friends. Our better half says she believes we are glad we have an excuse to go to Union once a week to lay in supplies for our table. Now this may be so, as 1 acknowledge I do like to go to Union. I like the place and the people with whom I have met. I thiuk Union I is about the biggest place for its size I ever saw, aud j am an immuue and not afraid of small pox. 1 learned 1 today that there was but one case of small pox there aud that Drs. Going and Crown Torrence say they will stamp it out if they have to kill that case. So Spartanburg can now remove her quarantine and pay more attention to her own sick. She reminds me somewhat of the i'mote and beam" business sooken of bv some of the old popts. r Young fqlfcs wish to hnow of Carlisle and X Will tell them* Of*rlisle Is forging to the front and she will not be long . plodding in rear of any of her sisier towns, as business is hush and improvemer are the order of the day. We will i soon have a cotton mill and other up-toI date concerns here, and our motto is? , spread! Mr. and Mrs. ttioe now have under construction a fyne dwelling house thav, when f)m*hed, would bp an ornament to any city, and that has induced others to talk of improving and beautifying their property. The merchants are building additions to their store rooms, and if business increases as it has done, it will [ be but a short time until we will lie bloated bond-holders, and will erect a hotel here reaching sky ward and decorate it-with every romatic embelishment of fancy, style and comfort, where t'ie ! druutaers *y|!l not only come to spend Sunday but will be glad to stay long> r, and where the kicker will not kick for I fear of I eing kicked out.

A Urquhart with a force of bauds began the work of repairing the road bid graded bv the Aiuusta division of th 'Three CPs Ilai'roid nearly eleven ye rt ago. from Union to this nlaoe and hAvond her i towards Blacksburg. He has authority from his compinv (the S. C. & G. E.) to emp'oy hands, engineers, etc , and take all necessary stepr to finish up the road bed at once. His authority, in this respect, la unlimited, and now the probabilities are that in the near future we will baconnectel with Union and the out-ide world by iron rail. Ss mote it be. We regret exceedingly to learn that Mr. Will Marsh was killed ai. GafTuey last Saturday by Banks Perry, Jr., and Charlie Gaffney, the particulars of which | weluvn't learned fully yet. Both the patties are in jail. Mr. Jimmie Strain is very sick at this tini". Co irt begins at GafTuey next Monday, Itli of March. There will hi six murder cases at this term.

Mrs. Juliet Pruitt, an aged laly, died at ber home near Bogansviile church on Feb. 19. Mrs. Pruitt seemed to be in excellent health until Feb. 13, at which time she had an attack of grippe which soon weakened her down until death came to her relief. Her remains were inteied at the Putman cemeteiy. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor I|ev. W. P. Smith. She was a member of the Sulphur Springs Baptist chuich. She was loved by all who knew her. Messrs. Wallace and Rice, of Taekens, S. C., are visitins? relatives at this place. Messrs. Boyd Lancaster and John Henry West Spent last Sunday in Union. The Rev. McDowell tilled his pulpit at this place last Suuday afternoon. On last Tuesday our mail cauie "rolling iu" (or rather walking) at Meansville. W e feel like we were elected for a while. Mr Lancaster got up a toler-1 ably good send off for the first day, there were about forty-three cents worth of stamps killed. I think that was fine for a small place like Meansville. The latest in the social line was a party at the residence of Mr. M. C. Mayes on Feb. 1Q. It was certainly the best one vfe have had the ^pleasure of attending _ _ * ? iiiicijr. x^veryoqe seemeu 10 enjoy themselves to the fullest extent, and was only too sorry to hear those words we sometimes hear, "its eltveu o'clock." Mr. aud Mrs. Mayes never do things by halves and we hope it will not be long until they will "bid us come again." M. L. In Memoriatn. Wallace J. Sanders. We looked for happiness and peace, But no enjoyment came, We hop'd that sickness soon would cease And health return agian. Night went and came, and day by day, Hope, like the sunbeam's flickering my, That struggles through fast flying cloud Those blackening columns thick enshroud. The brightness of bis midday Iteam, Slow faded front our happy dream; We resigned his case to God's own care, Aud prayed He would spare our brother dear. We sat by his bed and anxious strove, To soothe his dying pain, And wept whbn he moaned, or murmured wild, But our tears were all in vain. 4s pales the (lower in its sunny bower, i\.3 shed the skies their frosty blight, The blighting hand of death o'erswept Our lovintr brother as he Blent Great God of our fathers! leave us not 'Neath Thine afflicting hand, To mourn as if our deserted lot No blessing could command. As the gentle dew drops oq the flowers Sleep, Qr the sqft ipooiflight on the waters deep, &> send thy peace on our troubled hearts To soothe the wound of death's fell dart. And bid us hope, when life is o'er, And glory has l>eeq won, That we U ipeet again, to part no more, Witn our dear departed one. His loving sister, FsstK. Feb. 93,1901.
