Mr. I. M. Mobtey says his boys

they have several more young ones

that good eating, sausage, spare ribs,

Mr. R. 0. Spearman, the popular
manager of the home telephone exchange,

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...

squeal of the fat porker and the rumbling

There was a family reunion at the

county, on Christmas ere. 1
Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. J. B. T. Scott, of Little Moun.
tain and Mr. W. Capers Scott, of !
Indian Territory. Mr. J. B. T. ,
oalled in to see us upon his return
home, and said they had a grand re- <
union at his father's home. 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.

The Christmas Trade
The editor called upon The Timeb'
advertiser* with the inquiry, "How
ha* trade been with you this Christmas?"
The following answers were
given which shows that all was lovi ly
and that they enjoyed a very satisfactory
trade dnrlng the week.
The Union Cotton Mills Departn?nf

good as last Christmas, taking the
average of the wees, but satisfactory.
The Mutual Dry Goods Store?
Trade was good, no doll days daring
the week at the Mutual, had about
all the trade we could handle. Trade
easily handled.
W. T. Beaty <feCo.?Our Christmas
trade was the best we have ever had
since we have been In business, it
has been getting better and better
for three years. Well pleased with
the result.
Mrs M. A. Brlggs?A clean sweep,
Bo'd out everything we had in the
way of Christmas goods, and we handled
more this Christmas than ever
before.
J. 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. Duke?Christmas trade
was good, way ahead of last Xmas,
fully 40 per sent, (or the week.
T. ?. Bailey?Furniture trade was
excellent during the entire week, in
fact better than ever before, well
pleased with results.
R. M. Estes?My trade was fine,
good all the week, the best I have
Bver had. I am thoroughly satisfied.
I advertise only in The Times.
Morgan <fc Wagnon?Fine trade,
better even than last Christmas, good
all the week right up to Christmas.
And thus it appears that notwithstanding
the Carnival, which certainly
took away considerable money,
the trade was above the average, and
everybody is happy and well pleased
with the results. We are glad it was
so. And The Times wishes each and
every one of you even greater prosperity
and bigger trade for this year.

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;
