The Eclipse.
Llloyd and Center's Eclipso Stock '
Co. wore in Uuion one week and gave
six performances to fairlj good miriiencea.
It twkes a popular sh >w to
hold a Union audience six nights in
succession. This show reuiiuds one j
of a lurge family, they stick together
. well, have a kind of family resemblance
and are just as clever and
sociable a lot of people as you would
wish to meet. They have a good
cornet band and an excellent orchestra.
The actors all handle their parts
well in the various plays. Clare Sullivan
is strictly up-to-date in every
piece they put on. Cheste Genter
has the old farmer down fine, while
Fred Gay and Pretty Nina Gay iu
their specialties are just out of sight.
The company introduces quite a num1

Another Growing Business.
Mr. Frank G. Austell, the popular
manager and junior member of the
thriving business of W. T. BeatyA Company,
informs us that the big page advertisement
he put in Tiie Times a few
weeks ago was a trade winner and no
mistake he has been doing a nulling
business and siys that his trade is better
than it has ever been, and is still increasing.
His ad. brought the customers with
a rush. They were so well oleased with
their purchases and treatment that each
b?eam? a wilk'ng advertisement and
others caine na'urally. He has found it
impossible to wait upon the trade with
his former fotcs and has consequently
added new help, and one only has to step
in iheie any day in the w? ek to see that
they have their hands full. It is not a
matter with him now of waiting until
Saturday for trade. You have heard
the old snug "Every day will be Sunday
bye and bye " Well, one would thiuk
that every day had got to be Saturday
around his store. Frank says he knows
a go Hi thing when he runs against it.
So he has deoided to hit the iron while it
is hot and we call especial attention to
ins n>iniH'?me pure ad. in this is<ue of
The Times, in wnioh he has something
interesting io tell you. Don't fail to
drop into this store when you come to
town, tlmt is if you want your dollars to
rubber ruck "and stretch out like a lawyer's
conscience. \rou will lind the following
force h-'iind the counters anv one
of whom will delight iu showing you any
goods yon wish to see whether you buy
or not: Frank G. Austell, manager, J
Preston ticks, .1. It Hicks, Miss Minnie
Suber, J. A. Humphries, T. M. McNeace
?nd Walter Sanders. Give them
a call, they'll do tho rest, and when you
go out you'll udviao others to go itj.
Full Force On.
The rapidly increasing business of
Mr. M. W. Bobo has made it necessary
to add still further to his force,
it is now a large force, but not one
too many, they are all kept busy waiting
on customers. We dropped in
at hi*l establishment a few days
ago and people were going out with
great leads of packages in their arms.
Mr. Bobo (dapped us on the shoulder
as he saw us watching this stream of
customers an I said Mfchat is what my
big adverilament in The IYmer is
doing." He said they pome in every
day and a*k for things they saw in
that big ad. in The Times. He said (
it is bringing th> business his way,
and we know it is so. We asked him
for a list of his salesmen and he said,
"I'll Havo to eounfc them," Hero
they are, and it is a hus>lin^, polite
and attentive force, with whom it is
a pl-asure to tr-id*: M. B ?bo, (
proprietor; C T. B >y 1, hook keeper;
Lewis Harris, cashier'; then comes
the salespeople who handle the dry 1
^uods, notions, shoes, hats, clothing, 1
genes' farni?ldngs, dress goods, orookery,
glass vyafo, groceries, furniture,
Ct\rpeVa, matting, rugs, undertaking,
etc. ; T. H- Thomson, M. W. McNeace,
8. L. Sparks, Miss Fannie
Hobo, J. Haskell Thomas, Arthur
Estes, J. K. Thomas, Orin Hollis,
F. G. McHugh, M Q. Ray. They
one and all cordially invite their
un\erQU8 friends to call in and see
them when In town. Don't forgot,
the place. M. W. Bobo's, opposite
old Racket Store, His big ad. in
t^is iqspc will tell you all about it.
Shoving the Queet;.
On Moi\1j\S it was discovered that
spurious coin and bogus tnill checks were
in circulation in Union. The matter was
at once investigated by the police and
the counterfeiter was noon treed and captured,
also the tods with which he was
carrying on his nefarious business. Ilis
name is :dam darter. It seems that he
had got hold of his tools from come source
or another and wh?n everything was in
readiness he shammed slokneas and staid
out from his work at (he mill and kep*
close to his room that day. Ilis fathoi
going up ?o his room notice-1 that he had
a ladle on 'ha stove and had been mailing
lead. He asked turn it he had been
moulding bullets. He did not get a satisfactory
a'i3;ver, however, aitr^ thought
no more ahoV.16 it I^e had fj/en making
10c and ode ivp" and duplicating the
Union ()qi foft VU'i checks. Tarn
was also arrested as being a party to the
business hs'H- appears he was one of the
circulating mediums titrougn which the
stuff got.on the town. It is a bad cas"
and the. young fellows are lij^ely, from
thp present,l?t*)k8hf things, to he given a
ffeelrl^to Sing Sing. It is an unfortnnte
affair .And should ne a'? admonition to

a living "has to be earned by the sweat of
h? brow, wnen the day's work h done
there is no accusing conscience to disturb
vour peaceful slqiqtyirs. Vbe sad est

for its object a gathering up of specimens
of the resources of this county for

The Iiev. Dr. Dillard of the Presbyterian
church preached at the colored
school house near here yesterday. lie
is an educated man and gave his people
some good advice. Ilis text was John
8:11). "Men love darkness rather than
light lieoause their deeds are evil.'' He
said among other things that it was a
bad sign for the future of the negro
race to see so many of their young men
on the chain gang. In fact the prisons
are filled with young men. Jtecentiv he
passed a convict camp and noticed the
whole gang was made up of si out, robust,
healthy young bucks wli.iso every
appearuioe indicated that they deserved
a better fate. Hut they had ohosen
darkness rather than light and this was
the sad consequenoe.
Frost has set in regularly and the cotton

Many of our Timks readers will regret
to hear of the death of Mrs. Samuel
Jeffries, winch took place at her home in
GalTuey last Tuesday. She was an excellent,
ohristian woman with a kind
wora or aeeu tor every one. Sh? counted
lier friends by the hundreds Tlie poor,
needv and deserving were the objects of
her charity and attention.
Only such a one when they come to
die can say with exclamation of joy:
Live thou fqrever wondrous king!
Born to redeem and stiong to save.
Oh monster death "where is thy sting,"
And "where's thy victory boasting
grave."
