The man who refuses to acknowledge defeat comes out victorious. 0 Knock your competitor, if you will; you do but help him and hurt yourself, when you do it. O Spend less time watching your neighbor and you will have more time to attend to your own business. O How many Union county farmers are sending corn to Columbia for the great corn show to be held soon in that city? O The prospect for a good year is as good as one could desire. The trouble with most of us is that we look through jaundiced eyes. O Read the article in this issue in which the proposition seems to be: Spend one dollar to help yourself and we will spend two more dollars for each one so spent in our effort to help VOU. Looks like ensv menev {) The enterprise manifested on the part of some of Union county's prominent citizens to improve the breed of hogs, horses and cattle is of materia* benefit to the whole county, and sould meet with the hearty approval of everyone. () The movement the Union Chambev of Commerce is making to secure aid to carry on farm demonstration work in this county should receive the commendation of all who are interested in the progress of the community. The true source of prosperity is the farm. Rich farms make easy times. Good production on the farm helps every line of business. CLEAN UP I)AY. The first week in April has been set apart as "clean up day" for Union. The city authorities and the board of health have set about making the best showing possible. Health Inspector Strange urges the people to cooperate with him in this good work, and his appeal should be heard with favor. One of the best advertisements Union can have is a reputation for clean streets and premises. Nothing helps one to tret a erood im pression of a town more quickly than to see everything clean and neat about the premises. But the matter of appearance is the best of the many advantages. The question of health is of prime importance; and there is not one bit of doubt about improving health conditions through cleanliness. A war on filth, flies and insects is a war on disease, and one, too, that is effective. Fevers and all contagious diseases could be reduced one-half in one year if a vigorous war is made upon the enemies to health. An erlightened public must cooperate with a determined effort on the part of the officers. If this is realized, then the results will come. Mr. Strange urges everyone to "dean up/' When you have gotten together all the*trash, you notify him and he will see that it is carted away. Let's all do our best to haye the cleanest town in South Carolina. 0 IN READINESS FOR THE GIBSON REUNION. Friday night w>U be the last rehearsal for Gibson Reunion. With all the preparations that have been made there is no question of the merit of the entertainment; and with the talent wnich Has been secured there is even less question as to the success of those taking part. Last night's rehearsal went through without a hitch and Friday's work will finish up every part and cue with the perfection desired, and a perfection to please even the most critical audience. That the Gibson Reunion will please an audience, is a foregone conclusion. There are so many people and so many things to interest so that it cannot fail to delight. Mrs. Gibson, played by Miss lone Littlejohn, is superb. She acts the suffragette part with the confidence, ease and finish of a professional actress with the real suffragette conviction. Mr. Gibson, the meek, henpecked man, Mr. Gordon Hughes, plays the part with the nervpus shrinking of the man truly imposed upon. In securing Miss Carol Robertson, for Catherine Gibson, to play the part of the dignified daughter, the image of her mother, none better for the part could have been secured. Also for the airy, fairy Phyllis, the happy, jolly Gibson daughter, ever shocking her dignified sister, Caroline?none could portray the character better than Miss Etta McDow. English Duke characterized by Mr. Westmoreland, Ted Lorain by Dr. Sawyer and Katherine Reynolds by Miss Maggie Mangum, are all admirably portrayed. The musical features of this most interesting production are all artistic, catchy and pretty. The dances and the songs are beautiful. The following is a list of the numbers: "Please Mr. Moon Take a Vacation", "It's the Pretty Things You Say", "All the Pretty Girls in Town", "So Long, Mary." The closing chorus, "The Harbor of Love" with the electric swings is a pleasing feature. The tickets are on sale at Glymph's Pharmacy and are as follows: For reserved seats, 76 cents; adults, 50c, and children under twelve years of age, 25 cents. Remember the dates, January 20 and 21st, at the Union opera house. Our Jonesville Letter. Jonesville, Jan. 14.?Mrs. S. A.
