Have you taken out a policy in Union's new Insurance Company yet? Better hurry up and get in, they are tumbling over each other, as it were to get in before the limited number is reached. We have pretty thoroughly investigated the plan of insurance and think it is good. It is insurance at actual cost, get in with all your family before it is too late. M. W. Bobo's Plan. We wish to call attention to a sentence in Bobo's ad. this week. He says "We advertise what we have, that is the reason why advertising pays us." That is the kernel in the nut. And his phenominal success since he began merchandising in Union, is convincing evidence that his plan is the right one. He never deceives his customers. When they read his ads. they know that he means just exactly what he says. Having established this kind of reputation with his patrons, it is easy to understand why he succeeds so well. Whole Family Poisoned. Last Tuesday Mrs. Susan Sanders put some Jamestown weed, familarly known as "Jimson weed," in a pot to boll for the purpose of extracting the jtlice from the weed to use externally for rheumatism. After extracting the juice she seoured out the pot thoroughly and thinking there wonld be no danger of any of the poisonous juice remaining in the pot, used it for oooking peas, which were served for dinner. Not long after dinner, the ohildren, who were working in the mill, became very sick and were sent home. Upon arriving at home they found Mrs. Sanders in bed and very sick. She told what she had doue and a physician was immediately summoned, who administered an emetic that caused all to vomit, there was an evident improvement in the condition of all after this and the next morning they were considered out of danger. It was a narrow escape for the family and this should be a warning against the ose ^of the deadly weed, 3fad Dogs Plentiful.

W. Going, on Main street. The burglar raised the rear window of the cellar and entered, but finding that there was no way of getting to the upper floor, he looked around the cellar to see what he could lift, as it happened there was very little in the cellar except plunder.
