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

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.

Javy, visited at the home of Dr. W.

leer is spending some time.
