Knock your competitor, if you will;
you do but help him and hurt yourself,

Spend less time watching your

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.

Read the article in this issue in

Spend one dollar to help yourself

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.

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.
