This is the recoid of last year. Th<?

running our whole graded school system
in Union. This sum spent in the maintenance
of the schools includes every

lor coal, chalk, dusters, matches and
the like. The present session will require
about $1,200 more than the aura
required last year for the reason that
two new schools have been opened up
this session?one at Monarch Mills and
one at the Knitting Mills. Next season
two more teachers will be needed. This
will slightly increase theexpeuse of next
year over this year. But does any one
question the wisdom of exp ulsion?
The need is pressing. Our city is
growing rapidly. No citizen of Union
could say that we are spending too much
money for schools. Be it said to the
credit of the leading men o? business in
Union that they have always shown a
most commendable zeal for the advancement
of our school interests. They
meet year after year and willingly vote
the additional tax for keeping our schools
abreast of the times. And they thus
show good judgment as well as worthy
interest Hardiy a day passes but that
some man moves into Union. When
you ask him why he came he will tell
you: 4,To educate my children." It.
may be that here and there some me) i
are saying that we spend too much
money on our schools. Let us s? j:

aud three dollars per month for each
child in school, and thought ho was ge ting
it cheap at that. Ilere the cost is
little more than lifty cents. And the
man who has no projierty to be taxed
pays nothing. The doors are thrown
wide. Children of lich and poor are invited
to come in and enjoy the blessings
of a^ood graded school training. The
business men of Uniou, with their widea-wake
polioy, the trustees of our schools,
the splendid teachers in our schools, and
last but not least, our etlicient superintendent,
Prof. Davis Jeffries, are to be
congratulated upon the goou advance
we are making with our common school
education. Let every man know that
we have the best that can be found, and
that we are still not satisfied, for we feel
that there are yet advances which we
must and will make.

Thoughts for School Children.
Another school year hastens to a close.
The long mouths of hard work must
s >cn give place to a sea ton of rest. Every
true ciliz 11 v*juices in Union's truM-did
schools. Moie than tins could lie said
Every loyal citizen of Union lit els a
personal inlet est in the progress or evciy
boy atul girl in attendance upon our
schools. Most certainly the Editor leels
a sincere interest in every one of them.
God bless these little men and women.
They are seeking wisdom Great opportunities
are opening before them; grave
r.-sponslbilitler must soon fall upon them.
They are seeking to be qualified for citizenship.
They are laying a foundation
for usefulness. May their earnest preparation
bring to thein the fultilmeut of
their fond hopes of success.
It is not the intention of the writer to
deliver them a lecture or preach them a
sermon. These words are written that
they may ' know that they are not forgotten,
and with the tamest desire that
scms little help and encouragemeut may
be given.
Most school boys and girls love their
teachers. This is as it should be. For
the teacher is seeking to do the student
good. Sometimes a child comes to regard
the teacher as a taskmaster, a sort
of hard hearted tyrant who delights in
the misery of the seeker after wisdom.
Sometimes a boy feels that he is hardly
used, that the teacher shows partiality
and does not meet out even handed
justice. Let the little man remember
that passible he is to blame, that after
all the teacher is seeking his highest
good. Let him go in to win the teachers
good will. lie will tiud very soon that
me way wwi unguieu auu scnooi are win
be a thing of Joy.
Be careful to make friends among your
school mates. You cannot afford to
neglect the humblest one of them. It is
an ugly sign that a child has few friends
among his schoolfellows. It is a sigu
that promises 110 good for the future.
And for a child, as for all others, it is
true that to win friends it is necessary
to show the spirit of friendship. you
cauAot afford to neglect ' the dull" boy
or girl That boy that you have come
to regard as dull may be a sleeping giant
that will some day lie aroused and startle
the world with his achievements. You
may think that because he is "slow at
figures" that he will be slow at everything.
Wiser people than you have
been woefully mistaken along this liqe.
The iKiorest child may one day be a
leader in the great world of business. It
will be a comfort to you that you had
the nobility of soul to show him a spirit
of helpfulness. It is comforting to know
thst you had a hand in the making of a
m in or woman. And thauld no such great
lesults follow from your honest effort to
help another to nobler things, you will
have the consolation of having tried to
to l>e helpful.
The great lesson that the school child
should learn is the lesson of self control.
It is a thing you will never learn absolutely,
but the more progress yon make
in that direction, the surer you inay be
of fulfilling the requirements of a noble
life. It is perhaps true that rqany a boy
finds it hard woik to keep up with his
classes for the simple reason that he
has not learned self restraint. A school
boy or girl stuffed with candy and other
sweet meats will have little room for
thought to find lodgment iu tlie mind.
Some boys are such miserable slaves to
the cigarette habit that m'.nd and body
are dwarfed and tliey stapd little chance
to keep their place amor\?the advancing
ranks.

Trouble With a Green Cherry.
It is no new thing for children to at
into trouble from eating green fruit, bu
it is not often that a difficulty like tlu
following arises. Little Marie, tin
three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs
J. II. Wilburn, saw her brother who 1
several years her senior put "sweei
shrubs" to his nose to smell them. Tlu
little girl got bold of a green cherry an<:
was attempting to see if it was sweet
smelling. The cherry got lodged in tin
child's nostril and gave considerable
trouble liefore it could be extracted.
The cavity in the nose became swollen
and irritated Drs. Linder and son were
C died inland had to admin s'erlehloroforn
before they succeeded in dislodging the
cherry. We are glad to know that nr.
real harm came of the matter save a
good degree of excitement on the pai I
f the parents and friends. The little
girl is perfectly well again.
Dropped Dead.
A negro man about twenty-five yeara
of age dropped dead about 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning on Maiu street just

The man had been at work at Buffalo
and had also been chopping wood foi
different ones in Union. His name was
States Gist. He acted very much like
a <rt'/y man on the morning of his
death. He told Mr. W. W. Dixon that
he bad $'1,000 in the bank. Also that
Mr. Tinsley had $2,400 dollars worth of
gold belonging to him. Dr. Lawsonaud
others came to the man in two or three
minutes after he fell on t he street and
found him quite dead. T ie Coroner's
inquest was that he "came to his death
by some cause unknown," It Is probable
that he died with heart disease.
His mother said that he had been ailing
for two or three years, and that for the
last two 'or three weeks could sleep
