FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1914.
We had to leave out several communications
this week for the reason
that they were received late and we
were crowded with advertisements.
They will appear next week. Besides,
our next two issues will be sixteen
pages each week.
We feel sure the movement to provide
stalls for stock driven to Union
is a good one. It is hard on horses
and mules to have to stand out in the
cold rain or hot sun. The move being
made to provide suitable shelter
i? a guuu uuu.
Wc heartily commend the movement
to fit out rest rooms for ladies |
who come to Union to spend the day
shopping. It will he a great convenience
to the ladies. The rooms overt
the Citizens National Bank are cell-'
trally located and easy of access, and
will, no doubt, be used freely by the
ladies.
County Superintendent of Education
II. C. Little has been largely instrumental
in financing the field day
exercises to come off here Friday,
April 17. This is a good work, and
Mr. Little is to be commended for
his active interest in these matters
of so great interest to the schools and ,
to the public.
HOG CHOLERAT
There are several cases of hog
cholera a tLockhart, it is reported.
Mr. F. W. Carnell. the farm demon- :
stration agent for this county, made
a trip down there on Thursday.
It may be wejl to say that if there ;
is an outbreak of this disease any- 1
where in the county Mr. Carnell
should be notified at once, so that
steps may be taken to check the disease.
There is no cure for the disease,
but it can be prevented from spreading,
and that is of prime importance.
The Union County Teachers Asso-j1
ciation should receive the cordial sup-1
port of every teacher in the coumy.:
The organization is calculated to
work great good in all matters o?
educational interest. The social and
stimulating effects are good. It is to
be hoped that all teachers throughout
the county will make earnest effort
to be here on Field Day, April 17.
This, we understand, is to be a day
that will mark many beginnings to
things greater in the field of education
in Union county. Come, all ye
teachers. Come, all ye pupils. Come,
all ye people. Let's make the day
one long to be remembered in the
annals of the history of Union county
educational activities.
A WORI) OF WARNING.
We feel sure the general public
will agree with us in the statement
that automobiles and motorcycles
should be made to slow down within
the city limits. There is entirely two
much speeding. There is especial
need that corners be turned at a
slower gait than is now the common
practice. It is becoming especially
dangerous at several corners within
the incorporated limits, notably
Church and Sooth street; Main and
Gadberry; South and Gadberry and
quite a number of other points. There
should also be rigidly enforced the
law to turn to the right. There are
many motorcycle and especially bicycle
riders who seem to forget that
there is any such regulation. We
respectfully call the attention of tha
city authorities to these matters and
urge that prompt steps be taken to
enforce the laws in these particulars.
Some accident, a serious one, will
result if it goes on as at present.
And while we are making sugges- f
tions, ^e go further: It should be
made unlawful for automobiles and
motorcycles to use the loud and un
earthly alarms that are now in use.
Such nerve-racking, deafening sounds
should be prohibited by a city ordinance.
It is not to take away the
liberty of the owners of power vehicles
that we write along this line.
It is to protect the public and, indirectly,
secure the largest possible
liberty for the owners of the ma- |
chines. Lawful, careful and consid- '
erate use of a thing is best for the
public and best for the user. Abuse
of a thing causes danger to the public
and curtails the privileges of the
owners.
NEW HOPE
New Hope. April 7.?The mornings *
are cool, but up in the day is i-eal \
spring weather, warm and comfortable.
*
Our pastor, Rev. Mr. Cook was sick Sunday
.unable to preach for us, but 1
we had a good crowd who expected
services and therefore had a good
crowd who expected services and
therefore had a good Sunday school
lesson. Our superintendent, Mr. J.
W. Scott made an interesting talk on
Dur duties to one another as Christiat
neighbors. Be humble unto God. Mr.
M. C. Gault, superintendent of the _
l.ault Sunday school also made a 1
talk and gave some goodajd-^-j^fc* *:

a hurry to come right back, and the
neighbor understood the joke and tokv ?
the hoy he had loaned it to another S
man, and for him to go there and get 1
it. So the fellow rode on to this man j1
and made his wants known. This man s
gave him a note to some one else to ^
pass the fool on to the next one and
so on, until the fellow caught on and
found so many laughing at him. I
guess the one hunting that kind of an "g|

was such a thing.

There will be a lot of new, dresses

Moxy, you keep quiet, but can laugh
