AT HOME AGAIN.
We feel sure our friends will rejoice
with us in the fact that we have
gotten back into our own house. On
the Gth of March fire destroyed our
plant, stock of stationery and the
i..,:u:.... ur. u 1 - K 4- ?.J
imiKiKi^. ue iiavv uiiu icbuilt
and entered a pa in upon the conduct
of our enterprise. For two
months we have lived from hand to
mouth. The paper has had little at- (
tention from the editor, in fact it (
has had little attention from any one
in so far as the editorial department .
is concerned. But we have made out
some way. In the meantime we have
made many changes in our plant?
in fact it is new from end to end;
our linotype is operating, onr new ,
presses are in operation, our motors,
meters and everything else is oper- 1
ating. We feel quite proud of our '
achievement. As a matter of fact
it took considerable hustling to do '
what has been done in the_hrief-iwo
?. months. We can show you better ^
H. 4-?ll ..... I t 1
nut 11 >vc tan ten yvup anu we uupts
every one who sent in that dollar's
renewal will come and sec our new '
linotype and other new machines.
In fact, we will be pleased to show
you what it really takes to make a
first class newspaper, even if it is
only a weekly. We are now putting
in the best line of stationery and office
.applies thai we could find. .lust I
after the fire we sold nine thousand '
tablets in three days?enough, it <
would seem, to stock Union county '<
for six months, but we have had s
calls for more, so we have on the ]
road a nice lint of school tablets, i
writing tablets, legal tablets?in fact
almost anything you would wish in s
the line of stationery. ,
No", gentle reader, it has taken |
soin hustling to do these things and
\< i i)i mi- *i single issue. We a<l- l
mil that 1 here was sonic lack in the j
ne w. paper service, but it came each ^
week a:.:! came on time. This week ]
h.v been the hardest of all. Every
tlrng turned up side down, every- (
t hi:ilt new. and, therefore, running ,
poorly, but you just wait!
One thing we must say: We have j
exchanged our old press which was t
hut -lightly damaged, for a new,
up-to-date press. We trust you will (
come in .sometime and see it run. It
is a joy e\er, for it is a thing
of beauty. Then, too. we exchanged
oui old folder for a better one. We
can fold newspapers, pamphlets or
any old thing now, and the best of
it is we can do these things at a
rate impossible with our former
equipment.
In our job work department we
hav> made many improvements. The <
lat''-> type, the best machinery and
tin ? material v.o be used will i
con i i i- in enabling us to give our 1
patrons their money's worth. En- 1

'orter was in Jonesvllle Just one
veek before he died and I had a long
ind very pleasant talk with him about

ip. He was the picture of health and
mid he was feeling well and was
danning to attend the veterans' reinion
in Macon in vMay. Mr. Porter
,vas a member of Co. C, 7th S. C. cavilry,

Mr. Crawford and I were members

ogether and were eating our breakfast
at Appomattox Court House, Va.,
:>n Sunday morning, April 9th, 1865,
when General Lee surrendered his
irmy to General Grant. Our breakfast
was a plain meal of but one
?ourse, no waiters, no change of
idntes no French name for the menu.
It consisted of parched corn. Three '
ars of corn were issued to us that
morning for our day's ration. It was
ill General Lee had for us t<f eat and
we accepted it and were thankful.
We were not fighting for rations nor
money but for our homes and our ^
Southland.

churches here have been holding un- ^

Lernating between the churches. Sec- ?
tarianism is fast being obliterated in
this country and denominational lies j
