"Two dollars." | fcl j3i LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, Feb. 8.?Sunday was a beautiful day and a large congregation was at the New Hope /church to hear the new preacher, Rev. Justus. It has been so bad every Sunday that it was the first time some had heard him, he made a fine talk. The subject was "wars and rumors of wars." He said sin was the cause of the war and I believe so too, foi when the people get good enough they won't want to fight, that is my opinion. Well the good roads question is before us. I guess'it will soon be left to a vote whether we will vote a tax for good roads or not. I am in favor of good roads but don't know how or what way we can have them. As long as the winters are so wet and the folk travel so muci. they are bound to be bad. Some people say that Spartanburg has better roads than Union county, but I have been in Spartanburg county and I tell you they are bad now. All roads are pretty in the summer and look good, just like they never would be bad any more. I fear if we build by taxation, the money will be spent (and the roads still bad as ever. The only roads I see t,o be permanent is the macadamized, and it would take more money and several generations to finish and make them complete. I was over in Cross Keys section last week and I find the macadamized roads need some repair, but mind you it was the best part of the road from Union to Cross Keys. I would like to hear others on the good roads proposition. I did not get a letter to the Times last week. I was away from home when I should have written, and when a fellow is on the road he has not the time to write much unless it is a business letter and they don't take long. No boys, I don't take time to write to my best girl when I am away from home. Now listen, I am going to tell you something. There is a young lady over in Spartanburg county who wrote a friend of hers and said she looked all over the paper for Moxy's letter and was so sorry he did not write one. Thanks for the compliment. Now listen again, fellows: Some one else told i vther read the correspondents letters than anything in the Times, that they all wrote good letters and he rather read them than anything else. I spent two nights in Union last week, one at the home of Mrs. Mary Gault and one with Mr. Munro Faucett. They treated me with kind hospitality. I meet kind people weherever I go. Misses Lela and Lula Gault visited relatives in this communitv Sunday and attended Sunday School. Mr. F. C. White of Trough Shoals was down to see his relatives for the week-end. I see in the Times that Danks is dead, the author of "Silver Thread* Among the Goid." I know a number of people who clipped this song from the paper. I thought he was dead long ago, hut you see he has left this piece of music that will never die or grow old. It is sweeter each time you hear it. Some of the young folk around here can sing it too. Mrs. and Mrs. Wallace Lancaster and little son Paul, of Sulphur Springs wore down to see Mr. A. J. Gallman and family yast week. Moxy. JONESVILLE Jonesville, Feb. 8.?As Valentine day is near, guess the book stores are well supplied with nice printed Valentines with nice verses for the young folks, but it was not so in my young days, we had to make our own Valentines. We cut and scolloped them with diamonds and hearts and wrote verses and mottos, and by the way, they were right pretty. I remember on one 14th of February while I was in the Confederate army I had a fellow comrade to cut a Valentine for me and he had it beautifully cut with net and 1 illy work and in the centre he pictured a heart with a dagger pointing to it with red ink stains around the heart, as though it was wounded and bleeding and I sent it to my girl with a verse or two that ran this way: "On the 14th day of February We had a mind to be merry, The lots were cast and the one I drew Kind fortune said it must be you. My dearest dear and blessed divine, I've pictured here your heart with mine, But cupid with his fatal dart Has wounded love, my bleeding heart. But when this cruel war is done, I hope our hearts will be made one." I sent this to her but did not sign my name, but she knew who sent it and I received a sweet answer in a short while. Mr. Bishop with his split log drag is doing some work upon our streets today and if no rain falls for a few days our streets and roads will be in fair condition. I see the automobiles have begin to move and that is a pretty good sign that the roads are getting in good condition. I notice the editor of the Times has opened his columns to any and all who may wish to discuss the good roads problem or any other problem for that matter, whether their views are in harmony with his or not. Well our editor has always done that, but that the people may be sure of that fact he has plainly stated it. Well I will give my views in the next week's issue of the Times upon the good rgads issue or problem. The people of Jonesville, has up to this date, contributed in money to the Belgian relief fund $30.3f> and a box of clothing and a box of provisions are now ready to be forwarded as soon as directions for shipping are received and while our peopjo are helping the far off Belgians they are not unmindful of the poor an* needy in our own community. I am glad to know that a camp o Sons of Veterans has been organize* at Union and I hope many more wil be added to their roll. The old vet erans camps are getting smallc every year. Our camp at Jonesvilli once had thirty members but it ha run down to lb. Last Friday evening a chorus o Pacolet young folks presented a pla; at the graded school auditorium they had a full house and the pla; was highly appreciated?the pro ceeds to go to the furnishing of th< new Pacolet School building at Pac olet. Miss Eva Ellerbe of Columbi: spent Saturday and Sunday in Jones ville and attended Suday School a the Methodist Church, in whici school she had previously worked fo six years. Miss Pearl Harris of Union, spen the week-end with Misses Jimmi< Hartley and Margaret Williamsoi at the Enterprise Hotel. Mr. and Mrs. W. I).

Massoy o Fort Mill arrived this evening tt spend the week with Mrs. Massey's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Ham ilton. Mrs. Massey will pack anc ship her household goods to her horn* at Fort Mill. Rev. W. S. Porter filled his pulpi at the Presbyterian church Sunda\ which was the last sermon that wil ever be preached in the old churcl as it has been sold to thq McWhirtei brothers who commenced taking il down Monday morning Two very unusual things or phe nominal occurrences will happen this year, one is there will be fill Friday's this year and the other is there wil be no full moon this month. Something that has not occurred sine* 184(>. But don't somebody conclud* that these phenomenons are the caus* of the war. I am glad to hear that the cominj. spring fashions are to have on* pleasing feature, the ladies skirt: are to be wider, it will take a littl* more cloth its true, hut they wil be so much more comfortable to th< women and look much more decen to the men. Sorry to lean that bp hats are coming back aga thougl I would rather see small piai'n hats no feathers, the little sailor is th< sweetest, but my likings and judg ment will not be accepted.
