Mr. II. F. Scaife, Union's ^ios
successful and best authority on veg
etable gardening and truck farming
and dealer of high class garden anc
farm seeds, brought to our office th<
largest tomato we ever saw, it weighed
1pounds. There is absolutely nc
reason why this section can not be
made the garden spot for successful
truck farming, and if such a man as
Mr. Scaife had charge it would be a
success in every respect.
?
A New Court House.
It has been suggested that the
([uestion of erecting a new court
house be submitted to the qualified
voters of this county at the next
election, llave tickets with court
house and no court house printed
thereon, and when the vote is counted
it will then be known how many
voters in the countv want a now
/
court house, and how many don't.
Those who "do will want additional
taxes; those who vote contrary arc
not willing to he further.,taxed, and
are satisfied with the old building
for the present.
First Cotton Blooms.
Mr. Robert Sims brought to

of nice ripe peaches gathered from in

making motions similar to those of
a man trying to hoad a cow in a lane.
The engine plowed its way, tearing up
the earth like a mad bull. Its wheels
sank into the grouud so deep that it
could not move, and there it stood leaning
at an angle of 45 degrees until t he
ayrtwas removed from about the wheels
the ground leveled so that it could

re^Btfed several hours of hard work.

it was put to work early next morning.

Fourth of July "Leap Year Walk."
\ On Monday afternoon about 5:30
o'clock a crowd of young people,
numbering about 25, met at the
Graded School building,;the appointed
place of meeting, to start on the
"Leap Year walk," which proved to
11 be one of the most ploasant occasions
| j of its kind known to those who at|
tended.
j .This being Leap Year the girls
i ' had to make the engagements with
I A. 1 ?M '
i iuu uoys wuu wuom tney wisned to
i walk, and many were the comments
j embarrassment of the fair sex as
' . whom they should "make a date"
4$(fa6 not to be "turned down," which
J^Latofather amusing. But at the
Jfcujj|uited time the crowd began to
I^Kwo^ether, aid about 6 o'clock
RM&'Iftart was made, but no special
Mwe had been selected, so the crowd,
on a quandaryr as to the direction
I togo, but finaltaftopie one suggesdCpl^'
I to#take the stun^Wpjp road, so.eww'
' ,^body followed loaders ?rfd it
Vems that the hafid of fate guided
this crowd of^gleasure-seekers and
' ; landed them oh one of the most
beautiful spots ever gazed upon?
' ! the old Mun^uMill Dam Shoals,
1 ! where the old rnfll stood Tiany years
ago. After an hour of recreation
and merriment, a lunch; wrfsrherved,
w hich was spread on* the big rock of
' this picturesque spot, and was greatly
I enjoyed.
It has been r'utoored that several
i of the fair sex look advantage ot this
. occasion, as it was Leap Year, and
4 that several had. "popped the question,"
but as to* this we cannot say,
, but will wait.and see what will terini,
nate from the "Leap Year Walk." *
l This crowd is under many oblica
j tions to their chaperon, Mrs. Guy
T. Bolton, for her untiring efforts
to make everybody enjoy themselves,
and by her genteel manners and sweet
3 disposition her efforts were not in
3 vain, and she made many warm
r friends on this occasion.
Everybody was well pleased with
1 the pleasant way in which they had
5 spent tho afternoon of the Gloiious
9 Fourth and it will long be remem1
bered by those who participated in
7 the "Leap Year Walk." X.

A Business Proposition]
In modern business, integrity is just
as essential an element of success
as skill, industry, persistence or
any other commercial virtue.
A reputation for Honesty, 'obtained
by long and contiruious square deal*
ing, is a necessary asset, upon
*
which permanent business prosper- , .
ity depends. For; instance a mer- . .
* V '
chant advertises a big cut price
sale and people find on investigation
that he or they are not selling
as they advertise, right there is *
' where they make a mistake, their
-reputation for integrity and honesty.? ^
^ is gone, and it is a true saying,
i' ' .
that you can fool stfme ^gfc^^for a
whftle but you can't fool all the
* V ** lA
people all tl*% time. ?
* "# *
? ' ' - We
adverse whatgaelell,
Wejsell what wesadvertise.
