We hear that there will be a marriage
soon. The young people who j
will thus link their lives together
for better or for worse are both very
popular. The prospective groom
lives in this city and the bride-to-be
lives in the western portion of this j,
county. <.
The Times congratulates The ?
Peoples Bank upon its report. We I
know that no bank in the State of 1
its length of life and capital stock 1
could make a better showing. Wise- *
ly conducted this bank stands upon ?
is firm a financial basis as any in
the State. I

There is being cireulatcd and nu- '
merously signed petitions.to be pre- f
scnted to the legislature at the next ]
meeting, asking for the passage of a
law creating and establishing an
industrial school and reformatory
for the young criminals who are
sentenced to serve a term in the
penitentiary. This matter was before
the legislature at its last session,
having been brought to their atten- I
tion by the State Federation of J
Women's Clubs, and more particu- <
larly urged by the lato lamented i
Mrs. Patterson. We hope to.sec \
the law upon our statute books, as j <
we feel that no greater need for any <
law is now so pressing as a provis- <
ion of this kind for the good of the <
unfortunate youths of our State.

i LETTER FROM MR. 0. C. WILLIAMS. \
?
le Sends us an Eagle's Claw, a Great <
Curiosity?A Hunt Mrth While. 1
y
Annoim, Tex., U. P. D. No 2. '
December 20, 190o. Editor
Union Times:
Union, 8. C. 1
I am sending you l>y today's mail 1
in eagle's claw. This bird was \
:illed in the Indian Territory by a 1
hiake Indian named Hopolawa 1
iteatuby. The bird was killed in 1
Cgle County, I. T., in the act of '
idling a fawn. Its length or *
ireadth from tip to tip of wings ^
vas 10 feet and 2 inches. The f
;rasp.of this foot was 10 1-2 inches, j 1
The held eagle is now a very rare (
>ira ana one l presume long since j5
sxtinet in South Carolina, therefore ! 51
his foot or claw I am sending you l]
vill prove quite a curiosity to you 1
ind your friends. .c
About 12 years since I sent Wil- I
iams Bros at Jonesville, S. C. a 1
law and this is the next one killed
n this section so far as I know.
Ye still have a good deal of wild
ountry fairly well stocked with
vild animals. I^ast week a party I
>f New Yorkers pulled oft' a very c
uccessful hunt north of us in the 1
ndian Territory. During the hunt
i ncighlxir of mine, C. I). Stiles, }
md a New Yorker killed a bear 1
vhich dressed o50 pounds. It was i
-hrcc years old, and the crowd killed <.
27 deer and a wagon load of wild
nrkeys. So you see we in the 1
'Wild West" still have some sport 1
md can eat "bear meal" without s
Mr. Roosevelt's assistance. 1
Yours very truly, i
O. 0. Williams. i
The Confederate Monument. * j
It has been asked, so we havo ,
jeen told, where Mrs. B. G. Clif- ,
:ord was going to erect tho Confed- j
irate monument, about which so
much has been said and written for
the past year. We take thef liberty
>f saying that the monument for i
which Mrs. Clifford has been en- I
dcavoring to raise money enough to 1
erect will ho erected in the city of
Union as it is designed to commem- J
orate the Confederate dead of Union
county and not of the entire Southern
Confederacy. This monument
will be erected either 011 the square
of the Carnegie library or in the 1
center of Main street opposite the
court house square.

JACK. THE FARMER. HAD
A FINE CHRISTMAS.
Christmas Tree and Entertainment at
NewtHope Was Enjoyed by Everybody
that Attended.
Joncsville, S. C., Jan. 1, li>0(>.
My hammer! Where is my
hammer? My boys of two and
four years have a great deal more
use for the hammer than I do, and
ivhen I do need it I can't find it.
We were hammering around in
?uoh a hurry before Christmas the
hammer got lost, and now 1 want
to go to work and can't find the
hammer. I called to the youngest
hoy for it, and he said, "all gone."
The oldest boy said I could have
ins, out i man i want nis, i wanted
nine, although it was kind in him
:o offer his. I didn't wan't tq,
Tinimer much anyway. We get a
it-tie off anyway when we go
hrough Christmas, especially when
i\e have such a big time as wo have
liad this Christinas. I want my
joys to keep on hammering. I
ivunt them to learn to do anything
md make good and useful men.
We had a good Christmas tree
md a grand entertainment at New
Hope which 1 think every one enoyed.
There was a large crowd
jresent. The different scene and
lialogucs, speeches, etc., did great
iredit to the teachers and children.
Our two school teachers, Misses
Summer and Whitlock deserve
;reat credit for their untiring energy
and skill in the training the eliilIrcn.
They arc equally as good as
n the school room. 'Tis certainly
i blessing to have such teachers in
iny community. Jack says, God
jless such teachers and help them
:arry on their grand work. I will
lot undertake to mention the differmt
people that were present at the
sntertainment. Sullice it to say
hat we had a large crowd from
Jnion and Jonesville and the sur oundiiig
country. Some of our
Jnion friends and some of the
Venison boys came home with Jack
md the babies, and 1 tell you we
lad a grand old time. Mrs. Jack
stepped around like she was young
igain, and T believe that she did
:ecl that way. She brought out
hat great big old cake that had
jlaek specks all through it. The
joys wouldn't cat, but Jack and
.lie girls did, and enjoyed it. You
mo\7,**it is hard for me to refuse to
;at wjicn we have a little extra. 1

[t was truly good, and Mr. M. B.
Summer's song. I thought Mr.
Marshall had stepped and gone to
o singing. Mr. Summer came
ivith Jack and we just kept him
ringing nearly all night long. The
Christmas of lt)05 will be remembered
when some of us older ones
ivill'bc gone. So may it be. This
s New Year. Let us start out
ivith bright hopes and expectations
ind with determination to apply
mrselvos to the honorable avocaions
of life. Love (iod and one
mother for on this depends success j
11 all things. We can't make new
lien nmfc'women out of ourselves,
,mt we can improve if we want to.
Let's go to worlv with a mind de- j
;ermincd to make a mark some-1
vherc that will be here when we
ire gone. One of the best marks
hat we can make is to push our
'hildrcn to school, keep them up
ind not get behind. Help one
mother by kind words and actions,
mil when the time comes to plant,
Mont and then cultivate, then you
an expect abundant harvest.
Bye and bye Christmas time will
:omc again. Jack ThkIakmeh.
