Murrah, has op?r.rd up 1 a family grocery afoie in the building just above his tin and stove establishment on main street, which hasjuslbeen vacated by Mr. W. P. Skelton, who lias moved his business to Buffalo mills. Mr. Murrah is a good business man and has Itfipn voru Qtliwiscfnl in 1?1j onrl ?m?a business, which ho will continue to run, and we wish him success in liis new business. The Bell Tel ephone. The Bell Telephone people are putting up poles with a rush. They put up about 25 iu one day. They are mammoth poles and when planted ihoy tower far above the poles already iu use upon our streets, which, by the way look rather insignificant beside these nionarchs of the swamps. Judging from the cuts for S cross arrr.s the Bell people are coming to * stay and are pre paring to do t'm business. Tiie force coming from Spartanburg are erecting poles at the rate of several milerf" a day. The service will probably be in operation by February 15th. Another New ChurchTi e Presbyterian congrfgation lias been contemplating for some time the building of a handsome and commodious new church. \Ve understand from good authority that it has at last been difinitI ely.decided tojbuild the new church, and that one will be built to cost not les than $15,00(1. "With the Baptists to lead out with an up-to-date niodei n edifice, followed by the Presbyterians, it is about 1_ time the Methodists get their ligads tob getlier and build them a larger and more 3- modern church or enlargo and impove the present structure in keeping with the development of the town. is A Fierce Bull Dog, I ' There is a certain individual walking around town holding one end of a chain 't while a very ferocious bull dog is at the ie other end. This dog is no lover of boys and wo have seen him make desperate efforts to get to small school boys. We t suggest that it would be better for the dog and safer for the children to keep this dog tied in some secluded place. Tt n is dangerous to have such a dog walking * around the streets. He may bite and y forever disfigure some inuocent child. It j will then be too late to tie up the dog, keep the dog toff the streets before he does some one serious harm. A word to it the wise should be sufticen t. ^ He Could Run. II A fellow was trying to play ghost once to scare some friend3 who had told him a that a ghost could be seen at night at a , certain point. He put on a sheet and ' went to the place to scare tiie boys. He * had only been there a few minutes when a the real ghost appeared. This was too much for hirn and he made tracks at a two forty gait. A. rabbit jumped up iu '* front of him and started down the road, g The fellow said "Pshaw, rabbit, get out q of the road and let somebody have it that . can run." He finally cut across the woods and stumbled and fell over :? log. When be looked up there was Mr. Ghost on the other side who remaiked, "you 0 are something of a runner arn'tyou." e "That ain't nothing to what I'm going h to do now" replied the fellow, and he lit niif nrrain Tho loot i imo n o l>A.>?/i \zk\j o^oun aiii; iwuu iiuio nu uc-aiU UUIU a him lie was still burning the wind.

A Step in the right direction. i ' Recently a young white nr. an traveling on the Savannah Division of the Southern Railway in South Carolina llred his ^ pistol out of of the coach window. )- On arrival at the next station the con|e ductor turned the party over to the t agent who swore out a warrant for his arrest lie was tried the following day and tlned ten dollars or in default of payment to serve twenty days in the chain gang. 16 While such occurrences as shooting I > from car windows and the like are not | B. un|uriii. i.wr nittHlb HI K1 111 < COlKlllCtOr r_ are to be commended for their prompt } action, the result is an example that the Railway officials do all in their power to prevent rowdyism, and protect the feelings as well as the safety of their patrons ie While the misbehavior on passenger in trains in the South is now an uncommon ae thing, yet dealing with same as above or cited on the Southern Railway go a long way towards maintaining the confidence of the traveling public and popularising the line. Wanted?A New Depot. i One thine that Union greatly needs is a pa; s^uger slud for baggage and a moip commodious and up-lo-dato passenger depot. A city the size of Union certainly should have a passenger depot in keeping with the development of the town and the largely ireleased patronage of the road at this point We hope the railroad authorities will take the matter up and give us a nice passenger depot and a shed to protect baggage and passerge-s in wet weather.

Wo g I extend congratulations and wish them happiness and prosperity. Improving the Streets. The town council is adding vr-rv 1 materially to the appearance of Main fro street by putting down gravel on the life sidewalk on I he South side between Geo. paj Oetzel'a hardware store and Court House tha Square. The town has never in its his- ne? tory heen in better iiands than the present a'l municipal government. Long life to no lliem and may they be induced to serve pa] many more terms. There has been a opj steady improvement going on in the city Tu evtr since tho present officers came in r\ charge and then work w ill remain as an i imperishable monument to their credit Tu for years to come. New streets have j been opened here arid there, old ones have been improved and kept in good t condition which have placed the citizens J under lustingoblicrnticns to these officers. Here's lo Mack Young and hi ; able " councilman, may (hey live long and _ ( prosper and continue to build up tin? ^ M (own in the future as they have done up ( to (he present time. J . th Horse Ftolc but Found. ] Tm On last Friday evening alvnit. da;k the ( driver of Messrs. I lames & Lipscomb Th took out his horse and le't it standing m i front of their front door while he took ( the harness to the rear to put thcin away i'h While ho was gone some one stole the ( horse and rode it uiT. After a seaich 'j-,| for him flames & Lipscomb sent t; number of telegrams 10 different points ro md intercept the thief. The next morning it was learned that a man coming into j Union had met a negro on a horse riding bare back ami the negro had tried to trade horses, Gist wanting $2") to boot, 1 then $15, then $10 and tinaliy offering ' to trade for 25 cents to boot. The gen- 1 tleman had a horse very much inferior lo Th the ono the negro was riding and sua- 1 pecting the horse had liven stolen, de- Til c'ined to tiade lie rode on lo town c where he reported the circumst nice.

The big blizzard which 'Hicks pre- __ dieted, a mouth ago, that would visit the North and Northwest and would extend far down iuto the South, is upon us at this writing, Wednesday. A light rain began falling Tuesday g| morning and by noon it begun to if freezo and the wires and branches of tho trees about town began to receive a crystal-liko coating. The freezing weather continued and at A night more rain fell and tho icy coating continued to accumulate until morning, when tho trees presented " one of the most beautiful pictures, wo think, to be seen in nature, especially where tho trees were thick and branches spreading. Tho branches T sproading and locking together bending with the weight of tlioir shining, glassy coating, while long icicles 2* hung in clusters at various places, makes?the woods virtually, for tho Jt finnn hnlnr/ o_ orvufnl fnrntih 1 f 11 been years'einco such a scene has been witnessed hereabout, and it presents a picture in nature not soon g to be forgotten, Quite u number of large limbs of I trees over-burdened with their icy ^ coats have broken* and fallen to the ground. The telephone wires huve suffered, they havo broken clown all _ about town and many arc lying on the ground. They and the telegraph IT wires along the road are also broken 3 in many places. I Or.e mile above town where they "cross the railroad tho wires were down, and a train coming along struck thorn, pulling down a polo and breaking all the wires. The linemen of both telegraph and tolephone companies have been busy at wor* repairing the broken wires. e- ...
