It was an allround good show, 'of ten characters. Mr. I. M. Mobtey says his boys has seven shoats ten months old that < will weigh 800 pounds eaoh that will be slaughtered this winter. He says they have several more young ones coming on. This fairly makes our mouth water when we think of all that good eating, sausage, spare ribs, souse, etc. Mr. R. 0.

Perry Lee, the twelve yeur old son of Mr. M. B. Lee, while out 1 with his gun on Monday, killed a 1 hawk which was flying high in the j air. It measured over four feet , from tip to tip of wings. He sent the feet to the editor. When the claws are extended they measure 6 inches from tip to tip. It was a lucky shot as the hawk had been killing a number of chickens around the settlement. We believe there have been more hogs fattening in Union this year for winter killing than has been known in ten years. How * hard we have been worktng to bring this about. Wonder if we have been any way instrumental in getting this hog raising started up again? We never know| these things, but we are just going to keep hammering on the hog and hominy question until the farm... will aof tn raiainir )iam tft frat 11 " 8VP *" ?B ""ft" ft" ?~ to shut up if for no other reason.

He had < the misfortune, however, to lose his grip from the rear of his buggy while \ returning from Spartanburg. The j value of the contents he estimates at twenty-five dollars. He says Mr. | Capers Scott will visit his Sister in 1 Union, Mrs. Gofortb, next week. Excitement at Whitmire, i A good deal of excitement was created in the town of Whitmire on Wednesday i last week by the attempt on the part of the negroes of that place to kill Mr. Luther Darby, an operative in the GlennLowry Cotton Mill. About 7:30 o'clock Darby and a friend, Mr. Tillman Cole, were walking along the street when they met Munce Rice, a negro who has gained for himself somewhat of an unsavory reputation among the Whitmire people. Rice refused to give the street and hot words ensued. Thereupon the negro pulled his pistol, a 45 calllbre Colt's, and fired at Darby five times, one of the balls entering the left arm, penetrating the loft side, and lodging in tue back. Cole drew his pocket knife and used it with good effect upon Bioe, cutting him in tlieneck and in other parts of the bjdy. Rice fled to his home and befoie the alarm could be given had skipped the town. There was a great pool of 1 blood in the room where lie he changed his clothes, and he oduld be tracktd several miles by large drops of blood. About five miles from Whitmire be stoppt d at the borne of Dr. Setzler, where his wounds were dressed, Jn this condition be made good his escape. - ? - ? iW. immeauucuj atter uie wwg ui un shooting had become generally known ? on Wednesday night the whole community was aroused and started in hot pursuit.

Cohen?Trade was first class, could not have wished for anything better. Customers easily handled. Well satisfied with our trade. McLure Mercantile Co.?Our Christmas trade was just tip top, far beyond our expectations and fully 40 per cent, over last Christmas for the week. We had all we could do with several extra clerks. You can Bay we are well pleased at the successful growth of our business, and that we have no hesitancy in saying that we attribute our success to our advertising in the Union Times. M. W. Bobo?My Christmas trade was splendid, the store was literally Jammed with customers. We could not have put enough clerks behind the counters to wait on them all. Our trade for the entire week was 50 per cent, better than (or last Christmas week. You can say that I am thoroughly convinced that the people are reading Thk Union Times, and especially Bobo's ad. in it. It wan the best week I ever had since I have been in business. J. H. Spears?The entire week was not as good as 1 would have liked, but am satisfied. Two or three days of the week was good. J. T. Sexton?Trade was good during Christmas, much better than last, possibly on account of the Carnival people boarding at our customers homes. The Carnival helped our trade. D. N. Wilburn?Trade was satisfactory, being a new merchant cannot make comparison with last Xmas but am well pleased. G. W. Going?Christmas trade was good. The average for the week was better than usual, for 8 or 10 days before Christmas it was just splendid. The Wonder Store?Trade was good not quite as good as last Xmas eve. The proprietor having taken sick the day before was unable to be at the store. F. G. Trefzer. the Jeweler?Trade was fine, much batter than I had expected. I never sold as much jewelry In oowweek since I have been in the jew*)*? business, had to pat in a rash order that got here Xmas eve, came near selling that out also. Union Shoe Co ?Trade was splendid, had all we conld possibly do. That is all we or anyone else could ask (or. Well satisfied. Dr. F. 0.

Votihg for the Queen, The voting for the Queen of the Carnival was not very heavy and very little interest seemed to be taken until Satur day, the last day. when some ginger was injected by some of the backers of the leading young ladies. Although Miss Effle Sartor was elected by a handsome majority she sent in her regrets that it would be impossible for her to be present to receive the honor of being crowned, so there was no crowning of a queen. Here is how the vote stood at the final count: Miss Effle Sartor, 889; Miss Bessie Long, 403; Miss Sallie Hicks, 17; Miss Maude Goforth, 1; Miss Mattie Milon, 4; Miss Annie Rodgers, 3; Miss Jessie Cravens. 1: Miss Ethelind Go as. 1; Miss Minnie Suber, 4; Miss Sallie Goforth, 1; scattering 0.
