This is not a fairy tale, but the relation of a case for which the editor of this newspaper can vouch. There is a certain man living in Union mnn. ty. He lives upon a rented farm. He is 65 years of ape. His wife is about the same ape. The farm upon which he lives was considered so poor that it was difficult to pet a tenant. The man in question is an old Confederate veteran. Early this fall this man came to the writer and said: "I want you to come out and see my corn; I've pot some fine corn." The invitation was ac cepted and the visit recently paid. Sure enouph there was as fine .. field of corn as one would wish to see?one piece of up-land corn, another piece above the averape, and there were some eipht or ten acres of corn. Moreover, there were several acres planted to cotton, and ihc cotton was pood, quite pood. A v; inter puiJen, now containinp several kinds of wholesome vepetables was near the house. There was a pip pen some distance off and several fat hops were therein. The man, when askeo how he manaped, said my wife and I did aln >st every bit of the work. He was happy and contented: in fact, took quite a pride in his achievement. And why should he not feel some ' honest pride? He could teach half j the people of Union county some very i helpful lessons. He is industrious, i frupal, contented and can live the I cominp year, war or no war. I forpot to mention the fact that 1 when I left the afternoon of my visit S the pood wife was iust returninp to ; the house after milkinp three cows. They have plenty of butter and milk. They also have plenty of chickens and j fresh epps. WE NEED YOUR AID. The followinp renewals were added to our list this week: Mrs. J. F. Leener. Va $1.00 Dr. W. L. Sims, Whitmire 1.00 F. L.

Around his table sat Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews, the village milliner; Mr. Black, the baker; Mr. Jordan, a carpenter, and Mr. Hadley, a flour and lumber merchant. Mr. Brown took out of his pocketbook a $10 note and handed it to Mrs. Brown, saying1: "Here, my dear, are the $10 toward the $20 I promised you." Mrs. Brown handed it to Mrs. Andrews the milliner, saying: "That pays for my new bonnet." Mrs. Andrews said to Mr. Jordan, as she handed him the note: "That will pay you for your work on my counter." Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr. Hadley, requesting his lumber bill, while Mr. Hadley gave it back to Mr. Brown, saying: "That pays $10 on my hoard." Mr. Brown passed it over to his wife, with the remark that that paid her the $20 he had promised her. She, in turn, paid it to Mr. Black to settle for her bread and pastry account, who handed it to Mr. Hadle)/, wishinpr credit for that amount on his flour bill, he ajrain returning it to Mr. Brown, with the remark that it settled for that month's hoard. Whereupon Mr. Brown put it hack into his pocketbook, exclaiming "that he never thought a $10 bill would go as far." Thus a $10 erreenback was made to pay $00 indebtedness inside of five TPinutes.

The sixth age of man, that serious period between fifty and sixty, when one is neither young nor old. need not be as many make it, sad and sorrowful. Viewing youth as a summer play of sunshine, of long days, we too frequently paint the autumn of life dark and dreary. Practicing the optimism of the modern philosopher, we should make the October of our existence a jolly one by determining not to roil down the hill of life bum-y-ty-bump, knocking yourself and others along the way, but rather to slide down gracefully, cheerfully, and like a good sailor, try to enter port with clean, well trimmed sails. Few factors conduce to a jolly age as does pride in personal appearance. A well groomed person never grows old. Their sense of neatness promotes youthful thoughts which drive old age away. A clean, bright outside creates a cheerful inside; when, however, one appears as a tramp they feel like a tramp and usually are treated like one. A slovenly maturity is an abomination to society. Especially essential are well cared for teeth. "Fine feathers make fine birds," but man to be a bird must possess, also, good teeth. A high silk hat. fine frock coat and bulging bank account certainly do add to personal influences. And just so surely do unsightly teeth detract from it. The eye quickly detects dental deformities, paying all the while a high price on appreciation for a pretty well kept mouth. You are invited to call at the dental office of Dr. H. K. Smith, next to The Union Times, Saturday. October Ml. an dreceive a sample tube of that delightful dentifrice "Kolynos" tooth paste. Free. Near-Ballet Will Be Skirts of 1915. Chicago, Oct. 25.?Fashion's model for 1915 is to be a ballet girl. The hem of walking skirts and dancing gown is creeping over trim ankles until it will reach only a short distance below the knee?-so thafashion prophets predict?and will boast all the fullness of an opera chorus dancing frock before spring. Many Chicago women receive the news of the short skirt's arrival joyfully, while others viewed it with alarm, for the experts have also declared that the shorter the skirt the smaller must be the foot. Mme. Alia Ripley, president of t'n Fashion Art league of America, declared yesterday that the short skirt was more becoming with the additional fullness, and the gowns of the winter would be at least from two and ono-half to four inches above the ground. "The Fashion Art league of America is not countenancing any extreme fashions," said Mme. Ripley. "The shortness of the skirt must depend entirely upon the shapeliness and size of the foot and ankle, but generally with a wide skirt shortness is becoming. Many of the gowns were quite a distance above the shoe tops in Paris reepnt.lv ;i>ul the nresent stvlee are 1 the result. American dressmakers > will advocate a reasonable shortness, but nothing in the extreme." RUSSIAN COLONKU HEARS OKI EE LIKE GEN. HAM ETON (Jen. U. K. Brooks Recalls Parallel to Story of Col. Ixipoukhine. (Tuesday's State.) The story from Petrograd in Tiu | State yesterday of the Spartan courage of a father recalled to (Jen. U. R. Brooks' mind a parallet case of heroism. The story from Petrograd was: "The Russian journal, Suiet, tells the following story of the Spartan conduct of Col. Lopoukhine . He was listening, after the first great battle in Galicia, to the reading of the report of his regiment's casualties: " 'We have lost 200 killed and wounded,' he was told. "'How many soldiers killed?' demanded Col. Loupoukhine. " 'So many?' "How many officers killed?' " 'Only one.' "'Whatis the name of this officer?' " 'Lieut. Loupoukhine.' "Not a muscle of Col. I.oupoukhine's face moved. "'Where was the officer killed?' he asked. "That place was indicated. "He went to the bodv of his dead son, dismounted from his horse, kissed the forehead and lips of his child, made the sign of the cross, remounted and continued "iving orders." Gen. Brooks, reading this incident said: "Fifty years ago tomorrow the gallant Preston Hampton, son of Gen. Wade Hampton, was killed at the battle of Burgess Mill. At this inci (lOIOLSON1!
