Firemen's B$. J^et.
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. Wo as a neighborhood

can attend services every Sabbath
in tho year, pnd it seems with these
Christian advantages we should be

Dispensary or No Dispensary?
That is the Question.
"Dispensary or no dispensary? that is
fthe question;
Whfether ' tis nobler in the mind, to
and arrows of outrageous
(^S^tftke arms against a sea of troubles,
and, by opposing, end them??
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.

^ In buying goods to get all out of your money you can. ^
W The question of where shall I buy will be more easily de- <
ft cided after examining the stock of Turner & Mayfield and jf
learning their price. WHY? jf
? Reason 1. They are car load buyers, thereby savino- -a
L? both in freight and price. 2
2 Reason 2. They do a great deal of their work them- J
r selves and effect a saving that enables them to sell on less f*
profit. - ^
Reason 3. The volume of business they do is such <0
