Union was given the go-by. Several months ago Union was promised a jnodern waiting room, the oi.ly obstacle at that time being Uie Gibbes house, since ' which time we have heard nothing more 1 on the mtject.

In order to , ' overcome th!s regulation, he had his hair cut very short and his face shaved clean, j which gave him the appearance of a young man, he being physically all that ( was desired or required.

Her Inlustrlos have grown so large together with an enormous increase of business, which naturally and necessarily follows, that it is almost impossible for one railroad to handle the traffic incident upon slleh un increase. Cpl. T. 0. Duncan, tho groat agitator io everything conducive*, to the good of the town and county, has undertaken another great work^o relieve the'present situation of lack of railroad facilities. He purposes to extend the Union and Grfenn Springs Railroad to the Atlantic Coast Line on one end and the Seaboard Air Line on the other, and ho wants those interested to give the right of way, and we Uopv that everybody between these points will see it Is to their interest to do,stC that everybody will, so interested with one accord, guurantee to him an unobstructed route, for by so doing they will confer a lasting benefit not upon the town and the country, but UDon Lhemsolves alnr? and all property along this lino of railroad will unquestionably be enhanced in value ten fold, for this is the history of every country through which railroads run, therefore every one should not only fayor but do what they can to further the project, and success will sure follow. Several years ago we had good prospects of reaching Clinton, buttho scheme was quietlj dropp?d, and the Southern continued to control the field of operations. The Southern is and will bo at work again, to defeut-tiiis project ; it is a powerful corporation with almost unlimited money, but this will avail nothing if bhe people want this railroad connection we now advocate, and which as wo say above is being pushed, they oau get it, and we feel assured that with Col. Duncan in the lead you can't go wrong. All fall into line and success will necessarily be the result. Death of Mr. George D. Fant.
