J Misses Kathleen and Ada Ruth Betsill, ages 17 and 10 years respectively, daughters of Mr. W. J. Bet- , sill of West Springs, deserve especial mention for their splendid achievement in their Tomato club work last year. M iss Kathleen, on 1-10 acre, canned $56.00 worth of tomatoes and raised $11.83 worth of onions. Miss Ada Ruth canned $46.75 worth of tomatoes and raised $7.53 worth of onions. 'The aggregate ' e of the crops on the 2-10 acres of land amounted to $122.21, or $611.05 per J acre. This is a wonderful showing 1 and will make the average cotton farmer green with envy. These young ladies lost, for lack of cans, perhaps $50 worth of tomatoes. i Both these young ladies are in the : club this year. They have already ^uiien men tiups uuuei way lur tins , year and are expecting to surpass even their splendid records of last year. With such results as the foregoing, it would seem that our county has a great agricultural future. Certainly this should be a "land of plenty." With the great strides being made in improved farming our people cannot but increase in wealth. LET US ARISE AND BUILI). Ye people of Union and of Union county, arise in your might and build the hospital. The outlook is exceedingly promising, and we feel sure the present forward movement will result in the completion of the building. As may be seen on another page in this issue, the full cooperation of our financial institutions and the enthusiasm and cooperation of all concerned, is in the present movement. Please read the article, and lend your aid. There should be a large number of friends of humanity in Union county who will willingly give one dollar to this charitable institution. The institution is intended primarily to lend a helping hand to the unfortunate and helpless. We believe there are 2,000 people who will each give a dollar in the movement to raise the $2,000. The Times editor is one of the twelve oollectors. The lirst man approached by him in the hunt for $200 pulled out the dollar and gave it. There must be found 199 others in the two weeks. Let no one that can help in this final struggle turn a deaf ear to the appeals for help. It is for humanity's sake that we are making the canvass. There is no priory, no pay, no honor to be gained by any of the individuals who are pressing the building of the hospital. The institution is sadly neede.\ ?human need cries?and the rcwar 1 that each t>ne will receive is the consciousness of having contributed something towards answering that cry. Fellow-citi/.ens, men, women, let your heart respond to this true charity and help all you are able. feel sure that the generous hearted, true men and women of Union and Union county will not fail to render aid and that they will do so quickly. Let us raise the $2,000 in two weeks, and the work will at once beirimon the construction of a modern anil thoroughly well-equipped hospital. Thus will be met one of the greatest needs of our community. A revival meeting is in progress at, \ Mon-Aetna Baptist church, preaching every night. The meeting will continue this week and all of next week. One swallow doesn't make a summer, hut a couple of swallows have made many a fellow think he was a bird. v X" ftp-!: In Our Nev I "Easy-Oper K "Twist thi CROSS KEYS Cross Keys, May 18.?We are ex tremely dry; the rain that fell nearl two weeks ago did very little gooc The wind blew so hard that the moist Lire was soon evaporated.

McA. Pittman filled his ap pointment Saturday and Sunday a Padgett's Creek. Both sermons wer exceptionally fine.

Some are planl ing over and some are waiting, know I have never seen it as co< in May as this has been. Fires ai very comfortable every morning, an a blanket at night is not at all di: agreeable. Last Saturday was a big day at th Rocky Creek, school. The teachei Miss Effie Faucett, gave her scholar patrons ana menus a big picnic i the beautiful oak prove near th home of Mr. Henry Sprouse.

All kind of nice things to eat and a big barr of ice cold lemonade free all durin the day. Our road bridges need repairin around here.
