The Carolina Insurance Company " and thedoctors of the town hare adjusted matters and the company agrees to allow the policy holders to employ any physician they eye fit.

The sermon was very interesting and instructive. He showed that the branches could not exist or bear fruit without the vine, neither can we bear fruit without Christ is with as. That the quality of the fruit is of the vine and not of the branches, sn also the fruit or works of the christian is not of the man lut of Christ in him, as Paul said though I am dead I live, yet not I but Christ liveth in me. lie drew a beautiful word picture of the wonderful power of love, the love that is satisfied with nothing less than one's all. The trna fruit that which is best and most enduring is love. It was because God so loved the world that he sent Christ, his only son, from heaven to this sinwArM fA anffnr and din thaf fhnQA !

Another severe wind storm accompa. nied with rain, thunder and lightning visited this section again early Friday morning. The storm began about four and lasted till after five o'clock. While there was no damage of (jonsequence done to buildings in the immediate vicindnlty of Union many houses leaked badly on account of the blowing rain. The storm hit Mr. Banks Fowler, a mile this side of Jonosville, a pretty severe lick. It blew down aid wrecked ten out houses for him and blew his barn off tty^illows and tarleted it badly but did not wreck it. Tlii hardest of the wind seemed to be collided to a narrow strip or path. Several houses were blown down and a number of cattle killed on the Dave Gist place in Bogansville section. Several'pine trees around the yarji of Charley Fant's place, just above Lockbart Junction, were blown town. It is a very dangerous thing to allow tall pines to stand near ar residence. They should beewtdown without delay.$467-' About $2,000 worth of * pine timber was blowu down ou Mr. \Tib.

Oh lut Tuesday night a negio named Clayton Wallaoe, about 15 year* of age broke into a freight box car-standing on the tiding near the power hous*, and opened a box of cheese and a box of smokiag tobacco and tried to get into a caddy of chew* ing tobacco, but gave it np. He cut out about a three pound chunk of cheese and took two packages of smoking tobacco and then laid for the night passenger train; when it arrived he mounted the blind end of the mail car and was goiog to sift the sands of Union from his leet, but one of our lynx-eyed police spied him and pulled him. Upon noticing the bulging appearance of his coat he made a search and found the cheese and tobacco. The negro made a clean breast of the whole business there and then, the afent was sent for and the car was visited and the story verified in part. The negro claimed that a white boy named Jack Johns had led him into the act, hv nrnnnttnv that tK?* mk ika m? for something to eat and go off on a hobo expedition. The white boy was not found until tho next morning. He is about 20 years old and is considered a vagarant. The nogro was tried Wednesday morniDg and fined for trying to steal a ride on the train, for vagrancy ai d for theft, and sentenced to serve 90 days on the chain gang. The white boy was tried ThoTslay morning and found guilty of vagrancy and theft, and was sentenced to pay $50 or work 60 days on the gang. They are both pretty hard characters. The negro, after his sentenoe was an? nounoed by the Mayor, said: "Can't I have my cheese now, boas." After they serve their sentenoe the railroad will probably take hold of them, and they will likely land in the penitentiary. * ?
