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.

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. In seeing this evidence '

Cross Keys, April 12.
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

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.

varoled prisoner of General* J/Ks's array. in
l'he l>oys weie both sad and glad when of*
ve started to the army and the. same
lind of feelings were upon us when we
tartod to our homes. Every true
iouthern man was glad at the opportun th(
ty of enlisting and going to the war to to
tattle for home in the satiny South and
et sorry to leave his mother, wifo, sir,er,
i.wuthcuit au'J other I jvtd ones as

irt with comrades at Appomattox, Va.,
ith whom the strongest ties of comradtip
had been formed and tti?n to real9

itr arms for the last time made strong

lought of going home ana that the
rar was over.
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

There ia a fair crop of fruit on the
trees and it looks healthy.
Wheat and oats look well but there is
too much rain for wheat "sure," and I
think therefore that the wheat crop is
uncertain.
