Get Blood Hounds,
Why is it that Uuion has no blood
hounds? Other countiee have them and
Union should have some. We think it
would be a good investment for the
county. Two fine ones can be bought,
for $f0.00, two years old, guaranteed to
trail a track 20 horns old. Respectfully
refer red to our County Board of Commissioners.
It was bv the blood hound
[hat the black fiend near Belton was so
roon caught after his crime.

Fell Through m It ridge.
While on hie way to Cross Anchor
last Sunday Mr diss. F. Hart's
horse fell through a broken plank in
a bridge across the road. Fort unately
no serious damage was done, the
horse's leg was skinned. It is almost
miraculous that the leg was not
broken. The road overseer* should
look after these places, and uot wait
until some serious d-unage is done
before repairs are made.

were eight of them. Mr. Gage will t urn

A Suspicious Camp,
We leain from Mr. J. D. Hancock, of
Adamsburg, that a couple of negr eg
were camped in a gulley last Saturday
morning. He did not know who they
were and asked them if t.hey were sleeping
there. They told him yes. lie went
away and got a dozen men and returned
to find out more about them, but the
camp was deserted when they returned.
They had very comfortable quarters.
The camp was near Mr. F. M. Adam's
home and it seemed the negroes had been
occupying it for some time. Tht camp,
being in the head of a gulley, and well
concealed, the location was only discovered
by the smoke Saturday morning.
The negroes have not been seen since.
Another Robbery.
While Mr. and Mrs. 1. N. Harris was
in Union Sunday, having locked up
their house aud left it alone, some one
broke in the house, prizing open the door
with a plow point, after getting in the
theif got hold of the keys and opened
drawers, t runks Ac, and ransacked everything
in reach. While ever)thing in
the house was tumbled more or less, a 1
that Mr. Harris has so far missed is
several dollars in ohange which he had
in the bureau drawnr ntirl a lra
? - nftno
which he kept iu the pantry. This
whs the first time the house had been
left alone for a long time. It is not
known who the thief was.
Rev. I,. I,. Wagnon Ordained.
There was a good congregation present
at the First Methodist church Sunday.
Bishop Duucan preached one of the b^i-t
sermons that we have listened to i?. son e
time front John, 15th chapter and 12 It
verse The subject was appropriate to
the occasion. The; llishop delivered
his wi mon in his usual linpvtssive manner
that, carries conviction with hiseveiy
utterance, and every word was listened
to with almost breathless attention by
the large congregation.
After the sermon the ordinance of
Deacon was conferred upon Rev I. L
Wagnon by the Bishop, assisted by Presidiug
Elder W. P. Meaiors and Kev.
W. A. Massabeau.
Among the visiting ministers p<eseut
upon this oeoasion beside those above
mentioned we noticed Il?v.s. W H Miller,
of Union. Rheuben Humphries, of
Georgetown, and John 1) Harris, of the
Epwortli Orphanage, of Columbia.
The Wages of Sin is Death.
Jlev. L. M. Rice preached an interesting
sormon^u tht Fiist BHpiistchurch
from James 1st ciiaptet 12ill verse ' And
me sin, wnen lull g<owu, bringeth
foith death." He showed how the pail)
of sin was strewn with 11 ?wers, haunting
biooks and other senses, to lure the wayfarer
along, keeping his mind attracted
to these temporary pleasures along the
pathway that he might not look down
to the end and behold the hydiaheaded
mounter sin, full grown, lest he should
halt'and cry out. to the leird to save him
lest he jterish. It was a picture to make
one shudder, hut it was a picture true to
iife.
Tlu re w is one of the largest congregations
out that we have seen in qui'e
awhile. Mr ltice has began a series of
sermon-', >r protrude 1 mooting which is
to last ; w > weeKS Mr. Wolfsohu, of
Atlauta^ a very Hue singer, is conducting
the singing. Services will he held 11101 uii g
and .mght every d?y. The morning
aervices begin at 11 o'clock and close
promptly at 12 o'slock, The evening
services begin at 7.30. All are invited o
these services.
