JONESVILLE NEWS. JONESVILLE, Sept. 80.?Mr. J. B. Foster died at his home near Asbury in Cherokee county last Friday. Mr. Foster was one of our Union county boys and was a good Christian gentleman. He was married in the year 1883 to Miss Bettie Goudelock and their union was a happy c?ne. The wife and five children survive him. He leaves a brother also, Mr. T. K. Foster of Union. Mrs. Sallie Lee died at the home of ler daughter near Woodruff last Saturday. Mrs. Lee's maiden name vas Young and her husband was Mr. John T. Lee, who died several years *go. Mrs. G. M. Lane has been criticaly ill for a week, but she is much bet;er at this writing. Mrs. Addie B. Hames, who has been quite sick for some time is not mproving. Miss Inez Spears, who has had ty? phoid fever for over fifteen weeks, is just getting about the sick room a little. Mrs. Nancy Ann Harris, who has been quite ill for some time is some better but quite feeble yet. The rainy weather is not setting well with the farmers. It certainly is very injurious to the cotton crop. Cotton has worked its way up to 14 cents, which to my mind is a living price ami even more for farmers >ught to make money on cotton at 14 ;ents per pound. I sold cotton once at 45c the pound but a pound of cotton then did not go any farther in juying the necessities of life than it ioes at the present. I notice in a aook that have dated in 1868-9 that ;orn was $1.40 the bushel, flour 5 :ents per pound; bacon 25 cents per pound, but beef was only 6 cents per pound. Laborers could be hired at 50 cents a day which was hardly in f/v lUi ^iv/pui l/iuu tU UtUCI CUIHIUUUIUVB. I spent Monday in Union and I had Dccasion to pass through Main street from the jail to the residence of Mrs. H. Foster, and my mind was impressed with Union of the long ago ind Union of today. In September L859, I went to Union from the farm to clerk in a family grocery store. I iad just attained my majority and to ae a man of my own and live in town ivas a great joy to me. I bought a :wo dollar trunk and packed all my selongings in it and the whole thing vas not worth more than ten dollars, jut I felt good and was happy all the ;ume. In passing along Main street, Monday, from the jail to Mrs. Foster's, I noticed that it was almost Jfc solid block on both sieves of .eiWdf business houses and dwellings, fcwt\ n all these I did not see more than a lalf dozen of the old original houses. There were only three or four brick louses on Main street except the jail md court house and they were gran te. The dwelling of Mr. Means Beaty has the most original favor of iny of the old ones and it has been nuch improved. The inhabitants of the town at the time I went there were about eight hundred and I can inly recall fourteen stores, five bar ooms, two churches, Methodist and Presbyterian; the Baptists however, were building a church. The railroad had just been finished to Spartanburg and the whistle of an approaching train was much enjoyed. There were two hotels in the town ind it is a fact that both of them did well, perhaps better than one does low, because there were no boardng houses then and each kept a livsry stable in connection with their lostelry. The Unionville Journal of vhich The Union Times is successor, was a small single sheet and he type was set by hand and the old :ime press was moved by the printer md the work was quite laborious. 'crank was turned and the press rarriage was moved by it and the ever pressed the forms upon the pa>er and then it was rolled back and he paper lifted by hand. The first jrinter for the paper was a man by ,he name of Sowell, and his salary vas $10 a week. I thought that was he biggest salary in all the land vhen I was working for $12 a month. [ went through the Times office upitairs Monday, and saw the great inotype, just throwing out its line ivery few seconds and my mind ran >ack to the old way and I thought he "world sure do move." The county fair is near at hand ind it is hoped that the people all iver the country will take a lively nterest in it and bring out a fine exlibit. I remember the first county 'air that was ever held in Union, t was way back in the fifties and it vas held where Miss Edna Tinsley's esidence now stands. That part of he town was then in woods. The ipper end of Main street has a city ike appearance now, the Confederite monument, the town hall, new ourt house and postoffice buildings nake a fine appearance. The one hing Union lacks to go with the aner nne Duuaings is a sKyscraper tnd I suggest that the board of trade :et busy and have a skyscraper towring above all other buildings. Lieut. Hadden Geer, of the U. S. Javy, visited at the home of Dr. W. ). Southard last week, where Mrs. leer is spending some time.
