The second annua* jct\>f the Union Volunteer JF.. ? J^nartment was given at Hotel Union A^onday night. The members and their vitcd guests gathered round the festive lx>ard about 10.30 oMtfck and faced the following appetizing and attractive menu: Cream of tomatoes, queen olives, mixed pickles, deviled crabs in the shell, Saratoga chips, roast turkey, cranberry sauce, dressed eggs, chicken salad, tomato salad, beaten biscuit, sherry ice cream, white and gold cuke, Niagara grapes, cheese, crackrs, coffee. To say that the assembly of gentlemen did justice to this elegant repast would poorly express the huge enjoyment of the participants. After supper Mayor R. L. McNally who is also chief of the volun- , tccr tire department was toast master and responded to the toast, "City 1 of Union." He did full justice to the subject with all of the enthusiastic pride of his soul for his native town over which he has the honor to preside as mayor. He said if he could put the grand canon of Arizona and the great salt lake of Utah . in Union county we would have the most beautiful and picturesque country in the known world. The toast, "Woman," was responded to by J. Gordon Hughes, Esq. He paid a graceful, glowing tribute to woman, her charms, her , sphere, her career, from the home circle to the broad fields of lal>cr in < which she now is a most potent factor in the world of enterprising toil, literature, domestic and political economy, the successful rival of man in every avocation. Perhaps there was no one in this assembly to whom the subject appealed with a deeper sense of crnti trnlc for the joys of life, whose ar- | dent admiration reached the profound depths of his very soul, whose' nature burns with the fires of affection. He holds woman as the em-,? bodiment of all that is pure, noble and lovable, for whom alone life is worth living. Mr. James Rion McKissiek responded in very appropriate and pertinent terms to the toast of the press in general as a potent factor in the upbuilding of the country, its duty to the public, its responsibilities as a medium for the circulation of good and bad policies and principles, its high standard in the observance of ethics, courtesies as a model of emulation, s Judge J. M. Greer spoke highly of the efficiency of the fire department and in praise of the excellent work they had done at every firo. J. K. Hamblin, Esq., responded to a call to give to the young the change for the better a young man experienced after marriage. Mr. Hamblin gave the wife the credit due her for a reform in the man. Several others made short talks, among them Mr. George Kirby, a incmncr 01 inc city council, tie pledged to the fire department the support of the council so far as his voice would reach. Upon the whole the evening was most delightfully and profitably spent. We have this to say, that when this volunteer fire department was first organized, a nundier predicted that it would last but a short time, but we had a better, higher opinion and faith in the boys, and those who doubted their sticking qualities did not know the material of which they are composed. The Union Times was represented by the editor and foreman, who fully appreciated the pleasure and privilege of participating. Crops Damaged By Storm. Bogansville, Aug 25th.?We had a regular water spout last night. It was the hardest rain I ever saw or heard fall, and the thunder was the heaviest I ever heard. The crops arc badly damaged. The creeks were fuller than they have been for many years, bridges and foot-logs all gone on the Mitchell creeks. / I am glad to say my daughter Annie is much better after being so low, through the skill and untiring encgry of Dr. Will Linder, the attending physician, to whom much credit is due. We certainly appreciate the kindness of our many neighbors in our sickness and can never cease to thank and invoke the blessings of God upon them. There is ono thing we regret not being able to attend, our meeting at Bogansville. They had eleven members added to the church and the church greatly blessed. The preaching was done by our pastor, Bro. Caniak, and Bro. Wiggins, of Buffalo. They arc both worthy of their high calling. Tho Association commenced at Mt. Lebanon.

To die,?to sleep,? No more ;? and, by a sleep, to say wo end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That Hesh is heir to,?'tis a commutation Devoutly to be wished. To die;?to sleep;? To sleep! perchance to dream;?ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come. When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us puuse: There's the respect. That makes calamity of so long life: For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The nangs of dcspis'd .love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When lie himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life ; but that the dread of something after : death,? The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn No traveller returns,?puzzles the will; And makes us rather bear those ills we have. Than Hy to others that we know not . of ? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought; And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard, their current turn awry, And lose the name of actions." Catawba falls An Historic Spot. Tlie Catawba Falls or rapids about little has teen thought or wUfTfor many years is full of historic interest. It was at these falls a fort was built during the American war of 1812 with England. The fort was called Dearborn. It wan here that the members of congress from South Carolina urged and came in one vote of getting this place as the location of the national military school, now at West Point. Thus it came near being the West Point of the United States. It was at this point thatCornwallis crossed Catawba river on his way to Lancaster, thence to Yorktown. Now ? that a wealthy corporation has undertaken to develop and utilize the waters of this grand falls or rapids of the Catawba river by the erection of an electric power plant, a new and lively interest is being awakened. A charter for a railroad to run from Fort I .aw 11, a station on the Chester and lancaster railroad near the river, has licen granted and the contnict for building the road has been made and work will begin at once? i At the falls on the cast side is lancaster county, on the west side Fairfield count,v. Roth of thn??> are good counties and this new enterprise will doubtless be of great benefit to both. The falls have been the greatest fishing plaee for all time. Ixmg years ago there were more shad taken at this point than anywhere else in the State. The State cut a canal there as was done at Ix>ckhart for the convenience of the farmers in boating cotton down the river to Georgetown Paid Life Insurance Policy. Col. Elliott Estes, genral agent of the Union Central Life Insurance Co., sent, August 29th, a check for $1,000 to Mrs. Maude E. Mabrj', of Union. This was the amount of a policy held in the Union Central by Mrs. Mabry's husband, Harry E. . Mabry, who was recently killed by a fall from a bridge in Georgia.
