A delightful reception was that
at which Miss Amy Nicholson was
the charming hostess to a large
number of friends, given in honor
of her guests, Misses Ixma Posey,
Josie Minter and Marie McWliirter,
Wednesday evening from 9 to 11.
Preston D. Barron, Esq., of Rock
Hill, has formed a copartnership
with J. Clough Wallace, Esq., of
this city in the practice of law.
The style of the firm will he Wallace
& Barron, attorneys at law.
We welcome Mr. Barron to Union.
Mr. Davis Eison has closed his
market at Monarch mills in order
to devote his time to a course in
Converse Business College. His
sister, Miss Olivia, will also attend
the same college hiking a full course
in stenography. They both leave
next Monday.
For the past week the Union and
Glenn Springs railroad company
has been putting in side tracks at
Pride the eastern terminus on the
Seaboard. The work of surfacing
up the entire road bed is about
completed and the daily runs are
made with the safety of an old line.
The work of macademizing Main
street is nearing completion. The
city force assisted by the United
States expert road builders have done
a work as permanent as the rock of
Gibralter, and will withstand the
attack, wear and tear of weather
and wheels for ages. If they will
only continue the good work along
the line indicated and outlined by
The Times two weeks ago, then indeed
will the city of Union he called
the city of good streets, and permanent
improvements. Go it Jim
if it is hot you know your business.
The summer school for teachers
l>egan Monday in the class room of
the graded school building. Profs.
Jefferies and Ackerman are the instructors.
The school will last one
month. All of the teachers of the
county should attend, also those
who expect to teach school. A
great advantage and benefit results
from attending the sessions of the
summer school, in that you not
only gain a more practical knowledge
of pedagogy, but an exchange
of ideas with those among whom
you mingle is of great benefit,
therefore much is to be gained.
The present attendance of the usual
average is tliat of previous years.

( Peace Negotiations Between
Russia and Japan.
At the suggestion and instance of
President Roosevelt Russia and
Japan have agreed to enter upon
' pence negotiations, and the ambassadors
and diplomats have been
choses by each. The place of mcct'
ing for the discussion of peace terms
has not yet been fully agreed upon,
although each nation seenis willing
to have the meetinnr of T
' Paris, or Washington. At the
same time it will bo necessary that
^ some distinct understanding be had
? as to what extent the movements of
the two armies will bo limited, or
^ whether a complete armistice and
i cessation of hostilities l>e had in the
' meantime. Japan will submit her
terms which will doubtless be a
severe test of the Russian spirit to
yield to the demands, but Russia is
3 not now in a position to demand
anything, while Japan is prepared
; to dictate. An early settlement of
' all differences is hoped for by all
" nations.
