I.ess than four weeks from the arrival of Santa Claus! Read our advertisements this week and comv to Union for the big sales. We 'nr. t diligently read the war new to the past week. We do not k? ow where we are "at." V'e feel sure there are more winter ' gardens in Union county than at any other previous period in its history. More grain has been sown in Union county this year than formerly; and there will he a preat deal more sown J the cominp sprinp. And still the war news is nothinp definite. The report of one day could be repeated the second day and we would pather about the same infor- , mation. Road Mr. Browninp's article on the first pape of this issue. He does not think Union needs a plain elevator. , \u? :* .1 .. _.i ... .1 J *tc ucuuvr it in*t:u Mii'U ilii llisti- j tution; but we also believe in giving | every man a hearing. We purpose ! gathering further information ami , will then have more to say upon the . subject. The plan of having a "pay up" week is in opera :on in many cities ' throughout the country. Each one is urged to pay some one a part or all of I the debt owed. It might help many people in Union if such a plan were ' ent< red upon here, l'ay a part, and as far as you can, and that helps others to do the same thing. It helps all round. 1 Union sent a neat sum to the P.el j'ian Sufferers, and the snirit of ho nanity thus evidenced is to lie com mi nded. let. us also rcniemher to | help the needy and suffering' at our i doors. This winter will probably < prove a trying1 one to many people; * and there may be opportunities, many ( of them, for manifesting the Christ- ( inn spirit at home. 1 I Till-: KAfitiKI) El IfiK." Ot.e of the things that shows up in ! men when there is depression of bus- * iness is a irritability, a nervousness x that is with difficulty held in chock. v The grind gets upon the nerves, and. < unless one carefully guards against t the irritability it becomes a severe ' fax upon quite innocent people. The [ employee and th public are likely to { tret less than the proper courtesy, A 1 business man, carrying a heavy load, ! and forgetful that others do not feel 1 the weight as he does, becomes abrupt r of speech and utterly lacking in kind t treatment to other people. Every- N thing gets on "razor edge" and the j irritability speaks like a contagious j disease. The past year has tried tl^e < soul ot farmer, merchant, workman, ' 11 r and in fact, men and women of all oc- ( cupations. It has been a year of po- j litical upheavals, business depression e and unrest in many quarters of the f earth. The whole world has been on | the "raffled edjre," and, therefore, it f has been one that tried the souls of [ men to a decree almost past endur- a ance. Hut it is in just such crises ' that men may show their true * strength. It is no task to guide the t team when there is obedience to the a will of the driver. It is when the * team breaks into a mad run that the ^ driver's real power displays itself.

Oakland, Dec. 1.- The cold spell of weather which has prevailed through- j out the larger portion of the South lias been quelled by the continuous | rain-fall which he fan railing Satur lay nignt and lasting all day Sunday ind Monday. The dense smoke which las almost clouded the sky for the; last few days must have been dm | o the forest fires that have been j aging on the mountains near Little j tock, Arkansas. Some one said thatj he smoky weather was our Indian dimmer that we sometimes have in November, but to me it felt more like! in Indian winter if there be such ?. vinter. I have noticed that the young oats vhich had just sprouted throui'h the' ;oil and was showing up green across he field wher the cold spell came, lave been killed almost as badly as is rreen vegetation in early fall by frost lit since the rain and warmer weath r they seem to be growing out again. The fall sowing of small grain has )oen completed in this section and if t makes an average yield the farm rs will have no need to eo to town lext year at this time for their flour, inless it be to the new grain elevator vhich is being boosted as an enteririse greatly needed in Union. Yes, think it the very thing for Union, f other counties can operate such an nterprise, then why canft Union? Yhat is the farmer going to do with lis (train if they raise it to any exeat unless they can (tet a market for t Nearly all the wheat that is raised in Union county" is carried to the tdjoininpr counties to be made into lour. Now why not build a mill in Jnion and let the profit (to to Union ounty? The other day while in town heard a man say that he could buy ill the corn he needed at 75 cents a mshel. This man is in the livery table business and consumes a lot if corn. I'm here to inform you that he farmers of Union county are m igainst a serious proposition as to he (train question, so much so as they ire the cotton unless we can have ? market ri(fht here in this county. It he small amount of surplus corn that has been raised in Union county this year is now going at 75 cents, why, I would feel a little embarrassed to inform you what would be the price quoted to us next fall after we had made a bumper crop of it for the market. The farmers around here are lettint; most of their cotton go at the present price. It seems very hard and unjust but let us all look to the brighter future and not feel despondent over the present. ? Thankstrivintr day was a day not observed in its true meaning considering the continual blasting of guns from sun-up till sun-down. 1 think every man, gun and dog in the country must have been on the job; not a liig sight of game reported vet; guess they must have left it in the woods. ^'iiite as interesting anau uir young people around here have enjayed lately was the party given bv Miss l.oreen Gault at her home last Thursday evening. About twentv-five girls and boys were present who amused themselves by playing numerous games and plays that would make anv one and every one feel not a little merry. This writer had the pleasure of participating; Iho social gathorine and can truthfully sav it was all that a young fellow could be lookup for.
