Union is badly in need of a municipal building. The town owns a pr.-tty silo for a handsome building on Main street. One 1. ..! I 1 >c built there that would be a:, ornament to - .

Tiie upper floor could be made into a first o.ass opera !; use , und even a third floor could bo readiiyrented for offices. We certainly need a Commodious opera home, if we wish first class tr upos <o visit our town. Our town is growing rapidly and tlie better troupes would gladly como if wo had an op wa house that would accommodate them. Again wo have no place to put prisoners arrested for the v'olation of town ordinances, except in the county jail, and it is ?n out r.v to put fi decent whilo man. who luis been guilty of scin ; trivial oil :ns\ in 1 he cjnnty jail among a lot of dirty criminals. We know of no othor town of any sizo that does such a thing. Wo hope the matter of building a modern town hail and polfce headquarters will be taken up by the town council. We have no doubt tin coat of incarcerating the town prisoners in the c >unly jail would go a long ways in paying the interest on tlio money necessary .obuil 1 a atiucturoaaatovo.

Greenwood made a noble fight for the collego to be moved to that thriving little town, and its citizens are natural- 1 ly somewhat soro over the miscarriage of their plans.

Speaking of. Joe Jones' conversion, he said : "Joe Jones fell In vrilli j.he Divine plan and led a useful life in the sight ! of God ns well as in the sight of his ? i fellow men. You know the story of1 his life, the struggle he had against an unholy appetite, one as strong as I that hell in which it was conceived, and one that could not be broken save by Jhe pierced hands of the Christ?the mighty one for sinners slain."
