4 ' fftlON'S COTTON MARKET.
It is riot our purpose to drive
away cotton from this place, hut on
the contrary to bring it here by
1 laving our buyers to pay as much
as is paid at other places, and we
can see no reason why this is not
done. Two weeks ago it was announced
that the buyers here or
rut her that the president of Monarch
mills would pay the heat prices for
cotton. That same week Tjik
Timks showed hy a comparison of
prices paid here and at the aurroudmg
towns that this was not the ease,
I'nion heing helow in price 1 -1 ? to
l- l of cent lower than Carlisle and
other towns. Whitmire that week
paid IU.o "> and 10..Vj while I'nion
only paid 10. We have given I 'nion
and the president of Monarch mills
a whole week to make good the assertion
that the best prices would
be paid for cotton at this place.
The following will show whether or
not this has been done, Jonesville
paid 1 I cunts from Monday until
Saturday at 1 I o'clock it went down
to 1<) ;l-1, and this price was paid
up to Thursday. I'nion paid 11
cents Monday, Tuesday 1" J,
Wednesday 10 1-2, Jonesvilie 1-1
c ut above, Whitniire paid last
week 11 .'Jo and 11. JO while I'nion
was paying only 11 cents, Newberry
10 1, Spartanburg 10.87 1-2,
I'nion higher than Spartanburg and
Newl jerry. Carlisle paid 11 cents
last week; this week, Monday II,
Tuesday 10 15-1, Wednesday 10 o-K.
The farmers are never fooled
about the price of Cotton and generally
go where they can get the
best prices. It is no inducement
for a farmer who lives nearer Jonesvilic,
Santue, Carlisle or Whitmire
t.) come to Union and get no more
lor cottop tliuu they could get at
the nearer places, and when hy
going to either of the other places
tliey gel u?'<re. Who it to bluuje?

four thousand dollars worth of real
estate near Jonesville and that he
could now get eight thousand dollars
for the same property.

Mr. Sam Adams died last Sun- i
day after a long illness and was
buried at Foster Chapel cemetery
</u Monday, funeral \ieift cop
luctcd by licv. A. H. Best. The
bereaved family have tho sympathy
)f tho community.
As Rev. H. K. Ezell and little !
?on were returning from Jonesvillc .
last Thursday in a one-horse wagon i
his horse took fright and ran away j
throwing Mr. Ezoll out of the wagon
severely hurting him. I am glad
to note he is improving and is able
to sit up now. He run a narrow
risk of losing his life. The little
boy remained in the wagon a half
mile and then climed out at the
hind end and only received slight
injuries. The child used man sense
in getting out at the rear end. I
say man sensed there are hut few
men who would have used such
judgment. The horse kept in the
road after he tirst started and carried
the wagon safely home about
one and a half miles.
Hev. A. II. Best filled his regular
appointment at Foster Chapel last
Sunday morning. Hew H. K.
Ezell was unable to fill his at Mt.
Joy in the afternoon on account of
his injuries in the runaway,

points of the Empire. Confirmation
lias been obtained from
various sources of an uprising at
Vladivostok, where the condition of
affairs is quite critical. Many persons
have been killed and the foreigners
have taken refuge on the
ships in the harbor. Many public
buildings, stores and houses have
been pillaged and set fire to by the
mob. )
The American embassy has reruMved
from Consul Greener at
Vladivostok tteia?n fllc outbreak
which began Sunday at?.?rnoon immediately
after the departure of the
Russian armored cruisers Oinnoboi
and Rossia. The people, win had
gathered in great crowds in the
streets, became excited by inflammatory
speeches. Many soldiers
and sailors were also in an :\pgry
mood, having expected, to go home
with the squadron. Thp mob liegaq

peace, hut the consul said he feared 1(
the attempt would be in vain. n

The consul was on board a steamer tl

When Elizabeth Patterson Bona- ^

Icon's brother and grandmother of
uur present Secretary of the Navy,
returned to her native country to
make it her [home, she signalized ^
by one characteristic act her fare- ^
well to the elegance and taste of the ^
jay European capital* in which, if
never recognized as a royal princess,
she had always, witty her flashing ^
wit and extraordinary beauty, ^
reigned as a social queen. ^
She bought in Paris quantities of n
rich clothing of all kinds, and es- *,
peeially twelve incomparable l?oiiuets,
which she declared were to
last her for the rwt of her life. ^
They did not do so?at least tin?
bonnets did not?because she lived C
to be ninety-four, and wore them
in all weathers; but as long as they
lasted she donned them faithfully,
untroubled by changes in the fash- c
ion.
She was long familiar to \the eyes ! (J
>f her fellow citizens as the most
picturesque and interesting! of old o|
ladies, with wonderful eyes Wrcely ^
limincd, and aged featurtB still ^
rearing traces of unusual I rauty,
