JONESVILLE Jonesville, Feb. 22.?Washington's birthday was observed here today by the banks but other business went on as usual. Preaching services were held in the Presbyterian church here yesterday for the first time, the day was an ideal one and the people turned out well, and there was a good congregation. Brother Porter, the pastor, seemed to be at his best and he delivered a good sermon. His text being taken from the 84th Psalm and first verse, "How aimable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts." The Presbyterian church here dates its existence back to the year 1755, when a small church, a log house, after the style of that period was built about four miles west of Jonesville at the Forest graveyard, about the year 1800, the site of the church was moved about two miles west, near the Fair Forest creek, where a small wooden building was erected " and still later a large brick house was built upon the same site and Fj only a few years since, the brick church was sold and the church mem ft bership and records transferred to w* Jonesville, where the church here ^ had been erected several years, ^ since the Fair Forest church being . the oldest it had precedence of the 1 name. The little white church as it J was called at Grendall, which was 1 built in 1855), was also moved to Jonesville, it and the Jonesville church both being younger than the original Fair Forest church, they became the children of the old churci. and their names and membership were merged into the Fair Forest church and so the three are now in one church, which is according to Presbyterian law or rules governing their church societies. ' Good weather prevails just now and the plows arc moving on t hefarms and vehicles of all kinds are traveling the roads and everything visible indicates more life and a better feeling and less complaining of hard times, which really for a time had become chronic. I have conversed with several men lately whom I have put upon their "voidoir" as thy lawyer would call it nn.l they hav'f acknowledged that they had plenty tc eat and some money on nana ana were not so bad off after 11 all, and there are plenty of just 11 such folks all over the country. Most 1 every train I see passing is crowded J ?drummers are petting to he more ' plentiful and there are all sorts of j signs of progress in the old land yet. \ Miss Sallie Lybrand of Spartan- 4 burg, is visiting her brother and sis- / ter here. \ A telegraph line is being agitated ? from Jonesville through the country d to W. H. Gaults, near Pacolet river, ^ a distance of about seven miles. Another project is on foot to install = an electric light plant in our town. Telephone. Would See Prohibition Triumph. Trinity College. Durham, N. C., Feb. 22. "> Dear Mr. Rice:?I received a a paper this morning, and when I di: opened it I found that it was The w< Union Times. I think I have read 'la everything in it even the advertise- t*1 ments. It brought back to me mem- a ories of the many happy days I have spent in Union. It is strange how many little articles I find in your ra paper tnat reminds me ol the good people of Union. f- I left your town about seven years nc ago. I went from there to Wallace, N. C., where I stayed one year and attended school. The next year I came to the Trinity Park preparatory school, Durham, N.C., and spent three SP years there. After finishing the pre- m paratory school, I entered Trinity College where I have been now for almost two years. Mr. Rice, there are two things in ul your paper that attracted my attention especially. The first is the Si movement of progress Union is making in voting for the city bonds to Y1 improve the water supply. I am v' always glad to see my old home town making this kind of movements. The next thing in your paper that was Sj especially nleasimr for me to nolo or was that there is growing in Union again, a sentiment to down whiskey. M I wish the people of Union as a whole at could just look down deep into my father's heart and see the disappoint- Wl ments and sorrows that have come into it by that damnable thing, be cause Union afforded so many oppor- T tunities of temptation, that his boys, like many others, fell as a victim to it. I)o all you can to cause Union to vote at the next election a statewide prohibition ticket. It win mean much for your town and your next generations. We need not try to stop the ones from drinking who are now addicted to it, but we can remove the temptations from the fu- ^ ture generations. I would like to w see the old Palmetto State go after it like Alabama is going after it. Trinity College is a great institution, but I would like very much to spend one more day at the Union City Schools and let the whole I"1 "Arthur" feneration try to back me against a tree one more time as they ' used to. I thought then it was f mighty hard, hut I would delight to go through with it again. ft With very best wishes for your sc paper and the Union County citizens, ar I am, a loyal Unionite, Leon M. Hall. l* ? oil Seventy Seven Years Old to George W.
