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.

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. Chick. The land
was bought by Mr. J. M. Henderson for ,

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.

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. In attending this lecture ?
jrou not only enjoy a very rare treat, but
contribute to a very worthy cause, the '
furnishing of a library of useful and in*
itructive books for the Graded Sohool.
