The records in the Clerk's office show * that a large number of liens were re* corded last year. In the month of March -alone there were 650. On salesday Mr. D. C.

Going for $200. On Thursday night 14 solid cars1 of Portlan^pment from the Charleston S Cement works passed through Union. Each ear had a banner extending from end to en? telling of its contents and where ttiey came from. It Was tho largest shipment from one ooncorn ever seen to pass Unldn. We understand another train load preceded this one.

The Mlasea Maggie and Ethel Walker entertained a number of friends at their home Friday evening. The main feature was a music guessing content. Various games \^ere enjoyed by the large number of guests present. Refreshments were i served in two rooms. Decorations ap-' 1 proprtate to the season. Mr. L. J. Browning, of Sedalia, was in tn dm ni TnMilso T~ "? ? ?? ?~ _ mvuubj . xu uuuvoirawuu I he informed as that Lt. C. B. Smith, of | the Philippines, will he home during the i coming spring. It will be remembered ' that Lt. Smith wrote a very interesting 1 letter to Tiik Times some time since , from these far-away ilea. We hope to j see him while he is at home. < Mr. H. L. Lee, of Prescott, Ark., t formerly of Whitmire, is back at his * old home spending several days among friends and relatives. IIsways he is well ( pleased with his western home and that : the farmers of his section are in a prosperous condition. He has been in Ar- s kansas four years. He called in to see \ ns this week and left his subscription so t that he can keep posted as to the happenings in his old home county. There were no sales Monday by either i the Master or the Probate Judge, and only one by the Sheriff, which was the Chick land in Union and Newberry counties advertised in Tiib Timks, i being the closing up of the estate of the 4 late Mrs. Sarah B.

The Bailey Copeland Company. In making our - rounds last week ; to ascertain how the Christmas trade | compared with former years. We found the proprietor of the above hustling con- 1 cern out and did not get aa expression ] from him. We have seen him sinoe and as we surmised he had a splendid trade not only daring Christmas week but 1 during the entire fall. This is a new \ concern with yonng men at the head of it but they are hustling business men 1 from the word go, and they have already ( established themselves with our people, ! and have built up a fl ittering trade that ; seems to be Increasing every mouth. We wish for them coolluued success during 1 this year. We call attention to their 1 advertisement this week In whic*) they 1 announce that goods will hereafter be marked in plain figures. Oue pries to all, and that the lowest possible. Prof. Sam Steel. I Invp had the pleasure of hearing Prof. Steel ltcMue and confidently cunmend him. Ilia pure and genuine wit gives a delightful ilavor to the deep si philosophy uf lite. T. E. Morius. New Century Comfort. m Millions are daily finding a world of comfort in Bucklen's Arnica iSalve. It kills pain from Burns, Scalds, Cuts, Bruises; conquers Ulcers and Fever Sores, cures Eruptions, Salt' Rheum. Boils and Felons; removes Corns and Warts. Best Pile cure on earth. Only 25c at F. C. Duke's drug store. "Go To The Front." If to be entertained, instructed, stimulated and shaken up from head to heel, is proof of a fine leetnre there is none ahead of Dr. Steel's "Go To The Front." It must be classed with Couwell's "Acres of Diamonds," and in the opinion of many the Southern orator excells the famous Philadelphian in bis graphic description of the way to success. Some points in the lecture stand out with such vivid distinctive that they haunt the memory ever after. The whole lecture is like a ship atlame with St, Elmo's fire. Orders Them Removed. We are glad to report that the Mayor has issued instructions to the Bell telephone people, through Manager West, to tear down aud remove from Main street, Church street and other streets of the town the tangled mass of wires and dilapidated poles belonging to the former local telephone 6ompany. This is a good idea. With this eye-sore torn down and cleared away, the Bell telephone svstem with its taught wires high up in the air, its handsome poles and straight cross arms, will add materially to our city and give it an up-to-date appearance. The Bell people are certainly doing the handsome thing for Union. The last shipment of phones to supply the new subscribers are of the very latest model. We are told that they are the kind that are only put in the large cities. The gentlemen in nharjp ?* pressed surprise that this equipment should have been sent here, saying it was the first time] they ever saw them installed in a small town. And yet the Bell now has a monopoly here. Don't look mush like taking advantage of the people on account of the monopoly so far, and we have never thought they had any intention of doing so. How to Uae the Telephone. Here are a few suggestions in the use of the telephone to get the quickest service: First, see the number in your book opposite the name of the person you want. If his name is Smith and his number is 21 and your own number is 10, take down your receiver, as soon as the operator answers simply say "10 on 21." That is all that is necessary and saves your breath and the operator's time. Remember she is at the call of 159 to 175 other people all of whom want as prompt service as you do. If the operator says "line is busy," hang up your receiver at once unless you want another connection. If you bold it off the hook the operator has to take time to answer you^again. You must make another call, if it is only two 1 minutes afterwards. Hang the receiver up with big end down. Never converse with the operator. She has no time to chat during business ' hours. If you can't understand how this is just drop into the central otlice ? jome time during the day and look at the 1 busy hands answering the calls which i ire cars'.ng the drops to fall all over the . switch board. One sight will convince , you. Some times 8 to 10 calls come in ? instantaneously. Ilememb&r she has j jnly two hands, and exercise a little -] patience. Anyone can kick, it is only j Lire few Jwho can understand and grasp , situations as they exist. * , Remember you don't have to talk , ourt enough for the subscriber at th? >ther end to hear you through the air if ' rou were standing in jour open door. ' rhe line is supposed to carry whatever J round you give it faithfully to the other 1 rod. Ordinary tone of conversation, 1 with your mouth about 3 inches from 1 the transmitter does the best work. 1 Don't eat pie. bread or chew gum while l u<ing the phone, speak distinctly. If ] you chew gum or chew up your words < remember the telephone does the sime ] thing, and it is impolite tachew gum or < eat right in another's face. When you wish to talk with a person in a distant city it is best to put in a call fixing a certainJiour to do your talking. ' tifve them tiM at the oth?r end to lookup the other fellow You must not expect him to be at a phone at the other end wa'ting for you to call him unless you have arranged it so with him. * Every subscriber is entitled to a book giving list of names of subscribers to the < system throughout the State. If yon ! have none call for one at central office. "Go To The Front," Prof. Jeffries has arranged to have , Prof. Sam A. Steel, the popular presi- , dent of Ix>gan Female College, ltussellville, Ky., come to Union on January , 21st and lecture on "Go To The Front." The proceeds from the lecture toy go for the benefit of tiia Graded School library. Prof. Steel Is an orator of reuowg and a ' humorist of genuine flivorf If you i have any doubt of bsmg entertained from start to flaish ask Rev. T. E. ' Morris, of the first Methodist church, ; who is well acquainted with the profes sui hiiu uas ntttiru niru upon several oc- J cantons. See Mr. Minis' card. "Go 1 To The Front'" is o i? of the heat of his ' nine famous leot urea. Secure your Beats ] early to avoid the rush?it is bound to , come. You will never regret hearing 1 Sam Steel.
