Editor Union Times:?As the pubh
are not aware of the flourishing towi
Delta, situate in southern part of Ih
dear old county of Union, I thought i
would be no barm to give you a lette
from this city. The town is built on th
right bank of Tiger river, which is th
borne of the mud cats. The town is a
civil that the employment of a police i
unnecessary. We only have one club ii
the place, that being the Sous of
the chief amusement being sleeping; s<
you see we have a quiet, happy town.
Messrs. Mobley and Betenbaugh wen
the guest of this quiet town on last Fri
day. Mr, Betenbaugh was moie thai
pleased; complimented the town with it
beautiful surroundings. Mr. Mobiey'
compliments were seemingly loony, bu
with the devotions he has for towns h<
proposes to bring down bis chain gan|
id work out the streets of this Drivat
town, winch was no unusual kindness o
Mr. Mobley's, for the chain gang ha
been seen working the streets of incorpo
rattd towns in Mr. Mobley's territory
Mr. Mobley commented on the man;
social visits that I made to his home
and what nice things were fixed up foi
me. At home Mobley is a trueSoutheri
man for hospitality, and his good lady ii
second t? none in getting up an appeliz
ing meal. Mr. Betenbaugh, while it
this town, I found him to be the sain<
old social plug as 1 have always fonn<
him on the streets of Union, or, in hi
office, He is not the man to lose hli
head on account of holding an honorahh
position; his face aad general appearand
indicate truth and honesty, which is s
true index to his many pages.
Mr. Bobo, by previous agreement, wa
to accompany those honorable genti
mentioned to this town, but I guess Mr
Bobo had heard of the obstructed street
of this town, for fearing getting hii
wheels clogged concluded to take anothei
route. If Mr. Mobley could have poe
sensed such wisdom no doubt his sloepinf
would have been more satisfactory. Mr
Bobo is a social old plug, who has wor
me connaence or ine people. From hi!
last race, would say Bobo would make t
fine retreating soldier.
My previous letters were written foi
the amusement of the Cohnty Boaad.
If those gentlemen hpve made perfect
square In their business?one containing
twe,ve inches to the foot?I see no need
o&ihpm fearing the dreaded ghostly reftAtiuh"which
was mentioned in your

few days ago. This I regret ve?y much

to start a first class stock farm, whioh I

thing for his trouble, although Mr. Estw

1 Union As Seen 6y a Stranger.
f A friend handed us a copy of the At,
lanta Constitution, of date April 17th,
1901, to read, and we were much pleased
j and gratified to find in its columns the
4 following about Union as a city. The
writer then speaks in the highest and
most deserving praise of the banks and
} several of the business houses and nninnfacturies,
and says:
r The city loses no opportunity of tell,
ing the world of the great things that a e
being done here, and while Union is
know* in a general way, the writer
thinks that a little Printer's Ink will
perhaps iu^press its possibilities on both
investors, and home seekers. The popu,
lation of Union in 1890 was 1,009. Today,
including suburbs, over 11,000. It
has five cotton mills.'with a paid in cant
tal stock of 12.850,000, having 218,870
spindles, 5,550 looms and using 56,750
bales of cotton a year. Other enterprises
are all good solid, enterprising concerns,
l>oth banking, wholesale and mknfacturing.
But Union wants more.
She wants a competing railway and diversified
indu-tries. It's a wide aw^ke
town and just the place to locate.

'. '6t the Mfcjfttic Ranee. Mr. Bailey did
' ?^ofr-i1ope with the idea, but put it into
r, practice. The hinc'i of cofT*? and
..biscuit drew the crowd, that w.ss the
.idea. The participants gratified tb-ir
appetite and curiosity, whether they purchased
any thing or not. This, together
,-with the guessing contest was catchy.
To guess the number of biscuit served
during the free lunch period was also a
most attractive feature, hs the rewaul to
the one guessing closest to the number
of biscuits eaten, being a beautiful antique
tea tab'e. The contest was lively,
there being 132 who guessed, and th)
guesses ranged all the way from 320 to
10,000. The exact uuiul>er, 705 \v.,s
guessed by Miss Myra Young. This
would not likely happen again in a l fo
time. We never knew it to happen before
that the exact number was guessed.
All previous guessing contests have been
only approximately c'ose to tho real
number. We congratulate Miss Myr.i
upon her lucky gue-s. This we bops is
| the omen of her future luck in life.
