HAPPY NEW YEAR. Another year has passod into the silent and changeless destiny of history. With its joys and sorrows, its loll r?li fnr o ?v/l loura if c ond AUUgllVVl U11VI bVUIC, A 10 O UVVVC*'V*J lAiiU its failures?1910 has run its course. Most of us feel that we might have done better, wrought more worthily, endured more patiently. But we should not allow vain regrets to cast shadows forward. A new year, all white sheets to be filled, is at hand. Some morbid philosophers tell us it is foolish to make New Year resold-' tions. We do not believe it. It is wise to make them; foolish to break them. The desire to turn over a new leaf is itself a witness to the fact that desire to do better and be * letter Uhl^iring within the heart. " ,l3!hat is worthy is born b we say, jjaake you^resBIutlbnsT~#tTTd having made them, stick to them. It is not for us to say just what direction your resolve shall take. Let your own heart prompt you, your own strong will guide you. Sometimes we fret because our enhere is limited to narrow confines. We feel that we could do some big thing. But after all the life that is worthy and that inspires ln?pe in other hearts is the life that meets the heavy tax of the seeming insignificant and the inconspicuous. To take up one's task bravely day by day; to meet the many minor duties and faithfully perform them?this it is which goes into the making of a life worth while. THE HOSPITAL. We are glad to be able to chronicle the fact that the movement to build an adequate hospital for Union has assumed definite shape and the determination with which the movement is being pushed warrants the assertion that it will be a success. J Everybody should feel an interest in' this charity for it is something which is greatly needed. It is encouraging to know that the handsome lot is already paid for and a sum of several hundred dollars ready to be paid into the treasury to begin. Our people are prosperous and it will be no difficult task to raise ten thousand dollars lor this worthy cause. The fart that the institution is to care for the unfortunates who have no money to help themselves will place this work upon the hearts of the people of Union and Union county. Just as soon as we get a full report from Mr. F. VV. Camel I we will distribute the' prizes in the Times Cotton and Corn Contest. W e suppose everything will be in j readiness eaily in January.

C.?The more one investigates t!t,e uses of the land The ladies of the Methodist church had a box supper at the graded school house Monday evening for the benefit of the church. The West End Sunday school had a Christmas tree on Christmas eve. Rev. \V. H. Ariuil and family at the Methodist parsonage was given a pounding last Thursday evening. All our boys and girls who are attending colleges and ofT teaching and other occupations have come home to siM.nd the holidays and there is quite a number of them and they come from New York to Illinois, Chattanooga and many other far off towns.

Mr. and Mrs. James Littlejohn, of Clemson College, are visiting in Jonesville. The year is closing up well for most |>eople as it has been a year of plenty, lor winch we should all be thankful. Our merchants have had a good trade, the hanks are doing well and will pay the usual dividend the first of January. The farmers are on top once more and it is quite pleasant to know this fa-t as they are the main supi>ort of the country. Mr. Dave Haney, of Woodstock, Ga., Mr. Jesse Millwood, of Atlanta, Ga., and Mr. H. L. Spears, of Gaffney, are the guests of Mr. J. C. Spears this week. Misses Kva Ellerbe, Blanch Camak, Florence Doty and Mary Ilunle.v, teachers in our graded ilie clearer becomes the conviction that anywhere and everywhere in this country land in its productiveness is just what the cultivator makes it provided he starts with a reasonably cnnd soil. By combining thorough tillage, crop rotation, barnyard manure, and a judicious use of commercial fertilizer, Mr. W. H. Dubose, of Brundidge, Ala., has succeeded in producing seven hales of cotton from a three acre tract, using nothing but the ordinary cotton seed, the cost per acre being $38.50, as follows: Breaking the land, So.50; rebedding, 8*2.00; hoeing, $1.50; cultivating, 88.00; picking, 810.00; ginning, 81.50; hauling, $3.00. On the three acre tract Mr. Dubose cleared over $450.00. In a recent letter to the Southern Commercial Congress, Washington, D. C., Mr. Dubose gives full details as to the method of cultivation used by him, copy of which will be furnished upon request. All through the South farmers and planters are getting similar excellent results with various other crops. It all depends upon the man who gets the land. If he knows his business generous Nature will return him such rewards for his industry as is not now possible in any other line of effort. It is just a question of mixing brains with the soil. Several Profitable bulletins on cotton growing have been issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, one 9^ the most instructive being bulktftin No. 34<?, "A Profitable Cotton ^Jarm," which describes in detail jhe various steps to success.
