If Roosevelt should ^ , .receive the nomination the Demo^ l crate will win the election. Tho ^ I third term idea will not carry. It ^ , will prove a mill stone around the ^ 1 nook of any candidate. It has been f* thought by many that Mr. Roosevelt is the champion of imperialism ^ in this country. If he should be j elected to a third term why not a fourth also, and a fifth? It will not meet with the sanction of the American people.

Ivey. m 1 lttl Assembly St. ve . t V I Jonesville News Letter. Jonesville, Feb. 27 ?This is rather blue time for the farmers but good 1 eather for them will surely come. < remember well that many of the i onfederate soldiers that came home i fter the surrender of Lee and John- I m in April and May, 1865, went I > work and made good crope. Of 1 imrse a good farmer likes to begin < rork early and prepare his lands i rell but all things don't come to us < nworthy creatures just as we like, < nd some times a bad late beginning nakcs a good .ending. So farmers ust keep quiet and trust in a kind rovidence and all things will come utall right by and by. Mr. Frank Austell has opened a ;eneral assortment store on Church treet in the R. W. Scott building n the room in which the post office ias been kept until a short time ince. Drs. H. T. Hames and M. W. chambers attended the Medical Asociation in Columbia last week. I wrote a short notice last week of he death of Mr. I). P. Holder and now wish to write of Mr. Holder's ife. He was 54 years of age and I lave known him all these years, de was truthful honest and of a {ood moral character. He had experienced a good share of trouble ind suffering in this world out of ?ight children horn to him. He had buried six of them. His wife, svho was Mrs. Amanda Sinclair, ind two children, Mrs. Louis Bryce md Paul Holder, survive him. Mr. Holder had been a member of the Methodist church for many years. His last illness dates from last October and he suffered much from heart disease, bright's disease and dropsy. His remains were buried at Gilead cemetery the day following his death. The funeral eervices being conducted by his pastor, Rev. W. H. Ariail, assisted by Rev. J. E. Coker. Mr. Holder carried one thousand dollars insurance in the Woodmpn of the World. Dr. Steedley, of Spartanburg, was in Jonesville Saturday on professional business. Messrs. Harry Byara and Hinton urawiora, 01 onion, spent ounaay in Jonesville visiting the family? of Mr. i. B. Foster. Mr. Walter W. Hames, of Mount Tabor, spent Sunday with his mother in Jonesville. I notice in last week's Times the death of Mr. R. T. Parr. ^1 ^knew more ^aitlilul Confederate, soldier than Upland Parr. Rev. F. C. Hickson, of Gaffney, spent Sunday in Jonesville and preached at the Baptist church for Brother Rice Sunday night. Messrs. H. C. Little and Boyd Gallman, of Kelton, were in Jonesville Monday. Mr. Little says he expects to enter the race this summer for County Superintendent of Education. Telephone. A Buffalo Baraca Reception. Last Saturday evening the Baraea class of the Methodist Sunday school entertained the Philathea class, the teachers of the Sunday school and the Ladies' Church Aid Society at a fruit supper. The crowd gathered the school house in the large upstairs room, which was turned into it play ground. In spite of the fact that the night was not ont of those >n which the "silvery moonlight" nvites one out there was a nice litle bunch of seventy-five Sunday ichool folks present, and these folks Jid not come out for the "lnnruo \nd fishes" only either, for as bad is the weather was Sunday morning hey were at Sunday school with )early as many more. It seemed hat those who might be called old, f they were not present, forgetting heir years and cares, enjoyed the ;ames as much as the "younger et." Some of the young ladies endered some delightful music on he piano with singing interspersed. At 9 o'clock supper was anounced and "ilka lassie and her iddie" marched down to the dining oom. The long table, stretching lean across the hall, was veiy istily decorated, laden with theoldishioned pound cake, fruit cake, ranges, apples and bananas, with elicious ham sandwitches and lemnade in abundance. There was 1 hrend pnnnoli <>n'I """'' ' ' ? ? unu w Celtic MIIU ich one seemed to enjoy this featre of the occasion. 1 After the supper the crowd resembled upstairs. Bro. Brown, le pastor of the Presbyterian lurch here, made a short but help- t d and interesting talk on personal i ( angelism. He was followed by f ic pastor of the Methodist church, ? ho spoke of the social side of the }j lurch and Sunday school. a The general opinion of those pres- " it is thai the evening was profitably jj ent and they are looking to an- w her such a one in the not too far N stant future. * * Mr. W. S. Ashe has been confined his home for three weeks with b e&sles, however he has improved Ji ry much this week. n News from WilkinsvDIe. m Wilkinsville, Feb. 26.?LaBt J0 % Wednesday and Wednesday night ^ ^ >ur section was visited with a terrific ? tvind storm which did some damage J ^ n places, mostly in breaking down * fruit trees, unroofing buildings, g ^ blowing down garden fences, etc., but no one was hurt that we know A Df. During the day a heavy rain * K:. (ell which raised the small water J0 It courses, washed the lands and djd *5 J* considerable damage to the roads in places. Since then the weather has j been very much unsettled with no ft " signs of a dry spell soon. We g haven't had such muddy roads % jR' since 1886, when from here to Gaff- A ney the mud was axletree deep in most places where the water couldn't jf get out of the road. Mr. Lee Patrick, our R. F. D. ? ^ mail carrier, was caught out in the J ^ storm near Mesopotamia church and ^ ^ he said he thought if the wind had , q k struck his buggy sideways it would K iw have turned it over. A fee Owing to the rain yesterday the ^ Salem Sabbath school was not in afek session. J L Mrs. 4'Vox" still keeps up and keeps lier needles going. She is never idle. She loves to work, it seems, and never was very hard to keep up with the fashions. Any new ideas and dresses don't seem to s disturb the equilibrium of her serene temper. She weighs 81 pounds, is hardly ever sick and never com- ^' plains of her lot, hut poor woman, she, like many others of her sex, has got only a piece of a husband who admits that he is not her equals Jflfc It's a fact the world over that every man who is half a man thinks he has got the best wife in the world TOF? ; and he thinks deep down in his i # It heart that she has done extremely ?!J well to get him. But "Vox", is not , % so self-conceited as that. , He. is .;&n j t exception to the general rule in this ff * respect. . < _ . . , d The younger generation of our W family are great admirers of The It Union Times. It's the old family paper and has been in the home 0 Itmore or less for forty years. Atone ?! T time we were personally acquainted ? with the editor and every attache of g ^ the office and made it our loafing m 1 place when in town with a few extra i ? moments of tfime on our hands. We remember old Father Stokes as K one of our friends and he was always ready and willing to give us jA| advice. We remember 6aying to l him onfi tiny ; "Yfflt write *r tjwfti reply was: I am always sober.1' We took the hint but every4'fboL wouldn't have done it. What he ever saw in your correspondent to induce him to think we could write a news letter for the paper we can't Adai understand. When we told him we been b were not "cutout" for such work l^e 'aa he said: "Why an account of a dog cyc^on' fight will be read with a great deal noon 1 of interest by those living at a dis- phone tancc from the scene." We had f Mr. sense enough to grasp the idea that >ortun< this remark was not made to lower ?actyre the standard of journalism but to but '8 ( encourage the juvenile writers to Mf' take it up. melon It has not lieen our good fortune bmdx r to mingle with the good people of Februa Union much since we have been cut 118 fcV.ei off in the new county of Cherokee, onu which we hope to see become one of *on 8t'e tl.e banner counties of the State, Miss and we feel that our letters will be days a* read by hundreds and perhaps thousands of people we have never seen . or addressed before, but still there BlC8 *01 are many livfhg within the bounds a of The Times circulation we would .Mr. 1 be glad to meet again.
