TIIE BATTLE WON.
At this, the end of the fourteenth
week In the year, we have rounded
out the one thousand dollars, the sum
necessary to Install a linotype In the
composing room of the Times. We
will, at an early day order this machine
out from New York. We consider
the gathering in of one thousand
dollnrs on subscription in fourteen
weeks a feat that any county weekly
might he proud of. During these fourteen
weeks we have had flood, flames,
and blizzard to content with. Well
n night all of the money came in
through the malls or was paid in by
subscribers personally, and while the
subscriber was in Union. Tt. goes to
show that result of accumulated small
sums and that the Times has a big
bunch c? loyal friends. We are today
better pleased with the thought of the
ineuuiMJip reveaieu in tins ejitorpriBe

And this hy no means Is to he Interpreted
as meaning that, we do not
value the money. We feel sure that
the equipment of our composing room
with this wonderful typesetting machine
will he of great help to us In
the production of a flrst-class country
weekly. We beg to assure eaeh friend
of the Times that we shall continue
to stand for the material, and moral
welfare of TTnlon and Lu&n county.

of our laws will continue to find
In the Times an unfllnchlnR friend.
"We purpose making no compromise
with evil, no alleerlance with erafters.
no friendship with hypocrites. We
shall, In the future, as In the past,
face the future with hope and without
fear. We may make mistakes, but
we trust they will he few In number.
With an abiding faith In the Ood of

Boys With Pistols.
Mill Creek, April 1st.?Dear CouBin:
I thought I would write you a few
lines this morning to let you know
that I have been in some close placet
since we were together. The little
school boys from Jonnvllle came down
here fishing last Wednesday, 27th, and
things got lively while they were
here. There were about flro boys In
uiu vruwu auu tu?y wore won Brmec
with pistols. All the boys looked
bright and I hardly think any wac
over fifteen years of age. There wai
no serious danger done by the boyt
but they tried awfully hard to kill Mr,
Cooter, while out floating dfern the
creek. Mr. Cooter takes thMe evening
floats regularly, and J| hardli
eVer .hot at'Mtt . pkffl. jWOP
today that the boys war# very sorrj
with a pistol, as most of them tried
hard to put the lead In his ehell. Th<
The boys didn't catch iny fish* foi
when the fish heard that noise the]
all made under the bask. Mr. and
Mrs. Prog got frightened and Jurn pec
under the water.
All the snakes hid In the ground and
under the grass. Papa and mami
flew, but I stack to my little willow
and was very quiet. Cousin, yon had
better fly high while aronnd Jones
vllle, for these little boys carry thel:
pistols in town. I know their namei
but can't tell you now.
Hope to see you soon and wOl tel
you more.
Goodbye, your cousin,
Little Bird.
