UNION, 8. C., APRIL 17, 1903. With this issue of the Union Times I withdraw from the paper as editor. Tho place is given up to engage in another business. My only regr6t in leaviDg is tho parting company for the time being, at least, with my readers and our circle 01 a?ut tunc spondents, who have stood by the paper so staunchly and been so helpful and liberal in their words of encouragement and commendation. I am led to believe by these expressions that my earnest efforts to build up the paper and make it a welcome visitor to the many homes of Union county have been truly appreciated, remembering the condition of The Times when I took hold of it, I may be pardoned for feeling a pride in' The Times of today that I turn over to the verdict as to the success achieved during the four years that I have been at the helm, to the readers, the press of the State and to our very successful merchants, who have favored the paper with such liberal patronage in tho way of advertisements. My purpose has been to get out ^ Readable and newsy paper, not onlt.for.lbiv od&?nt9pn\/ct vthntuvvitiser as well; realizing full well that a paper that was not looked for anxiously by the reader, would bo a poor medium for the merchant to draw him trade through an advertisement in its columns, I leave the paper with a consciencious feeling of having discharged my duties honestly, faithfully, fearlessly, ever looking to the best Jnter^ and the manager of the paper by whom I was employed. Jno. R. Mathis mmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmry Union could with good grace follow the example of other wide-awake counties in purchasing suitable road machinery to build permanent good roads, say Cherokee county for instance, Union should have set the example for this baby county, but the baby is setting an excellent example for the parent this time. The vote at Jonesville on the dispensary question ought to settle the dispensary matter there for some time. The good people of Jonesville do not want to put the cup to the lips of its young men, whether the whiskey comes from the State barrooms or otherwise. We see where they are right. The work of the Chamber of Commerce of Columbia for the purpose of working up an interest in the effort to have the State of South Carolina creditably represented at the St. Louis Exposition is meeting with success, and hundreds of letters from 1 every seotion of the State havo been received from trade organizations and town and city officials pledging support and co-operation in the project. Our Easter edition called forth the most favorable comment of anything we have seen or heard of in Union in the shape of a newspaper. It has not only been highly complimented in town but, judging from the exprcs- ; | aions of our correspondents all over < ** ie county, it must havo been very / ivorfcbly received by our out or town \ bscribers.

As softly steals tbe evening o O'er field the farmer sons, ? And the gentle dew drops gather k On the petals of the rose; b And the nifeht'a sun glideth lightly e Into the calm blue sky, t And wonder while in our pleasures 1 That man was born to die. p Alas! the words are too serious, t will nnt allow mv mind to hnvor nvor . sucb, or in other words won't indulge so heavily along this line of thought, for possibly there are many who may chance to read this that cares little or nothing of poetry, (and I am still your litile prosy correspondent^. but * you wcuM preferjr.eari.ng Something of what we^pe?p!e in C.oaa Keys are "doing. First I will toll you about a very pleasant evening we young people spent at the happy home of Dr. and Mrs. O. E. Johnson last Thursday evening. We walked hurriedly down the graveled path. One by one the twinkling stars had come and fixed thensalves in the blue dome above; a crescent moon hung like a bright, golden jewel in the sky. a cool wind stirred the green boughs of the trees and brought with it the sweet perfume of the wild flowers nodding their i dainty heads sleepily to and fro. Fillfd with conflicting thoughts, wo pursued our journey, which was only a very pleasant walk, soon finding J us at tho handsome cottage, where so ] much hospitality was displayed, which , makes us thiuk life is worth living after all. For it surely was an evening well spent. Nice mus'c on the piano was furnished by Misses Mattie Prince aud Rosa Whitmire, and Mr. P. B. Betsill on the violin, and the happy smiles and warm welcome "ad ded a tint to tho raiubow." "There are some hours that pas9 so soon our spell-touched hearts scarce know their end." As we were returning from our "night's escapade" the Southern moon was floating in all h?r alorv. The night had a "thousand eyes," each one seemed to be winking at the moon as she alternately hid her lace behind eome fragments of fleecy clouds and smiled again in the blue. I do not wiih to impose ufou the reader with such a dramatic nar rative as this undoubtedly seems. When you, if ever you do, learn to love romance as^well nil do, I will not be afraid to express my feelings, picking up the suspended sentiments of romauQe. Jaat Stnnr??w -*<- n*;?burn and Miss Ida Davis were male as ore. Miss Davis is one of Eooreo's most charming belles and is especially noted for her kindness of heart. Mr. Wilburn is one of our most leading business men. "His life is gentle and the olements are so mixed in him that nature might stand up to all the world and say, this is a man."?Shakespere. Their marriago was quite a surprise to all. We^e VSur fliraal? 1 aiu not going to delay longer my congratulations and will extend my heartiestjgood wishes fcr perpetual happiness, and their fortune inc*erai to a ripe old age. I was very much please 1 with your Euster Edition beyond conception, the finest of the kind. I fait and knew you Mr. Editor would have U3 eomethirg pretty for Ea3ter, S> there was no bounds to my "cheerful expectancy." On Paturdiy evening M's3 Rosa Whitmire entertained a number of her young friends, music arc] games boing the subject of the evening? ' the ancient fountain of good feeling." Everyone seemed to be running over with gocd cheer, and Cupid might have been carried on to a certain ex- ] tent. While your humble servant I was enj lyiog it I chanced to "cast one ' lingering look behind" and there was "Clytio" trying her hand J awhile with Cupid. i Promise breaking I know is a very < had habit and sometimes an unpar* g dcnable sin, but such is my case of | today's writing in regard to my writ- a ing locals, I would?but from my pby sical standpoint, I am no* feeling j very well. Therefore we should ^ never promise f r surely "we can't always sometimes tell." I have not a one inch to say how I feel. JUANITA.

Easter Sunday was as lonely as any ne now living could remember and the srvice at the Methodist church was in eeping with the day. The church bad een modestly decorated with pot ilowrs, evergreens and wild flowers, with he inscription in the recess, "He is isen." Special song service had been irepared by tbe Sunday 8chool choir, vhlch was rendered in sweet and gentle ones. After the Sunday School service ilosed Prof. H. W. Ackennan delivered i short but very appropriate address on he resurrection and then followed the egular church service conduotcd by the )astor Rev, David Hucks, who preached ipon the rtsurrection of Jesus Christ, in the fl?t?rooqn_ Itev. A. A. James filed his puipit at Clio Presbyterian :hurch where the song service was well 'endered and another sermon on the -esurreclion. Immediately after the tervice closed at.the Presbyterian church, Dv, William Hall, of New York, dcivered his famous lecture at the Metliolist church styled "Yesterday, Tcday ind Forever," and for an hour and twenty minutes the speaker held his learers in perfect submission, while he alked at the rate of sixty miles an hour. A.t night the Itev. English ~pamak, of IVofford College, preached inrthb Metoolist church. Not a single incident occurred duiingthe beautiful, lovely day Lo disture the services at all these appointments. Last night we bad a succession of Ihunder clouds and heavy showers and very heavy thunder, but there was little wind yet some of those people Inclined to be nervous arose from their beds and Iresfei themselves as those who expected to be carried away by wind aud storm, but the storm never came. The clouds continued on through the day and rain was abundant, and will set back farmtrorlr oovnrul nova ?V VA lit uviWiWi wt There ia a fair crop of fruit on the trees and it looks healthy.
