JONESVILLE Jonesville, Feb. 29.?Snow commenced falling here Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock and continued till about night. There was about three inches, but it seems probable that it will get away today. The children and young folks are enjoying the snow very much, as they always do. On the 13th of February, 1858, there was the largest sleet on record up to that time. The timbers were broken and almost stripped of their limbs. This event I find in an old diary of that time. I note also in this diary that there was sleet and snow April 26th, 1858. Also the snow of April 15th, 1849. I have inquired of many farmers if they are going to use guano this year and I can't get one to tell me whether he is or not. They don't know yet what to do, the price seems to be holding them back as to what to do. That venerable old gentleman, N. C. Rollins celebrated his 89th birthday last Saturday with some of his relatives and friends to dine with him. Mrs. Dan Whitlock has opened a millinery store on Main street near me puouc wen. Mr. J. M.

Southard, who has been sick more than 12 months, is about as he has been for some time. Telephone. LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, Feb. 28.?The weather has been cold for a few days and some say we are to have snow, yet we heard the cooing of the dove, which is a pretty good sign that we are not to have much more cold weather. Bue we never know what is eoing to happen. This writer has just returned from Gaffnev, where we attended as a delegate the Methodist District Conference held at that place. I think nearly every charge in the Spartanburg District was represented by the preacher and the delegates from each charge. This made a large gathering. Bishop Denny, from Virginia, presided over the meeting. The good people of Gaffney threw open their doors for the preachers and delegates. < Some of the delegates were assigned ] to the Baptist homes, which I like to "j see. This delegate, along with Rev. W. B. Justus, was assigned to Mrs. J. C. Jeffries. She is a Methodist. I hadn't been,^o Gaffney in several years. They have built up and made , many improvements and have a good town. I met many friends whom I hadn't seen in a long time. I will mention some: Mr. R. A. Jones?we went to school together. We were glad to see each other. I met Mr. D. A. Thomas, who is father of the sheriff of that county. He moved from Santuck several years ago. Charles Hames, a Union county man, Dr. Charles Jeffries, Mr. S. R. Thackston and many others of course. I made many new acquaintances, which I like to do. Well, I wouldn't say so much on this, but I was asked by some who fnnnd nnf T wao a ?v?.v ?. **MO m W* 1 vopvitucuu vu J say something about GaflFney and our trip, even by some of the GaflFney people. c Well, I will say I met Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Gault, some of the writer's '' kinsfolks, I hadn't seen them since 4 they married. Miss Gault was an ' Oliphant before her marriage, and has kinsfolks in Union. She reads The f Union Times. Since my last letter Prof. R. C. ^ Lake and I visited the Cedar Hill 4 section of Union county by invitation, ( spending the Sabbath day at the home r of Mr. Victor Lawson, where we were treated with kind hospitality. There were msny visitors at Sunday : school Sunday. Misses Zella and Lois Grady of Union visited Miss Eva and Beulah 1 Gregory Sunday. There will be a measuring party and also refreshments served at the f Gault school house Friday night, March 3rd. There will be plenty of c music and fun for everybody. Come everybody and bring your pocket 8 books and money. The collection will ? go to the benefit of the school. ' Miss Leilia Gault of Union is spend- * inj? the week-end with her brothers, p Messrs. B. F. and W. G. Gault. t Misses Estelle Home of Union and s Ruby and Miss May Garner and Mrs. F W. M. Home and Miss Ethel of Jones- t ville visited at the home of Mr. B.

Mrs. Bentley had been living n this near community for a number >f years, having moved from Pinckley township, with her son, Mr. John Bentley. Mrs. Bentley was a memler of Salem Baptist church, at this place, for a number of years. Rev. A. McA. Pittman filled his lppointment at the Baptist church Sunday. His text was from Matt. 28:18-20. Why,?ask Mr. J. E. Adams? What? The "ground hog" one hears so nuch about certainly did not get a :hance to get scared at his own >hadow on Feb. 2nd, but we have had some very cold weather since that late, as one day the temperature was lown to 17 degrees, and look what Sunday morning was?cold and windy. I did not feel the earthquake shocks ast week, as I was on the road in a 'quaking" wagon, but about everybody vho were in houses?buildings?felt t. As ft was, no damage done, and lobody really scared, I wish I had "elt it. Some people speak of so much bet?: -A. ii " ,v-i luauo bins w.w tnan ior many vinters, but we haw had less vain by i great deal than the winter of 191415, then we had an excess of rain, rhere's a big difference. There have been only a few days' jlowing done yet?last week?but here is time. Some spring oats were lown. I sowed some, but as the seaion is late for them, I sowed on bot:orns, trusting the creek will not get tp big. In case it does, I guess I vill be "in it" or "out of it", as you >lease, as to oats. Fall sown grain is ooking very well, only that it has ;aken on a reddish hue, since the big ain of the 1st and 2nd of the month. I guess candidates will be plentiful his year, and?most all want the saliry, I guess, and say what you please, hat salary comes in just fine?judgng when one is able to win the place o "lasso" it ,but one has almost to )uy the position. I am sorry that Blease is going in the-State camjaign again. I was in hopes we would lave a quiet time. Election years are russy, but I do not think I like too nany four-year terms. I notice there are some nice herds >f pigs and young hogs around, though ;here has been sickness and dying imong some herds, and while that is iround there are too many dogs rununi, at I a -1 ' * ' - .

We ?ave one that has not pained much, ( >nly in lenpth of hind leps,' so it is ibout to turn over on its head, and I hi'np they must have had a slight case >f cholera, and I do not believe many ( vill ever do anythinp after havinp holera, even it they pet weii. ( The 1st of March is ripht upon us, ind this date is hailed with as much rreat satisfaction to many neproes as i s blackberry time, or watermelon f ;ime. Liens, or what you call it, opms and I believe this date is awaited i >y some to hepin work, as pettinp iquare meals. Some loaf, even "crop- J >ers", until this date, seemini? to 1 hink that if they do any work on the arm, it is for the "white man," and hey must needs have pay for it. But ve must confess that this state, or vay of doing is not near so had as it ised to be. And let us hope that the ime is coming, and speedily, when [ he negroes will see that when they arm on shares that they and the vhite man are in a cooperative busness, and that if they do any extra 1 vork towards improving the condition >f their farm, they are working for lis own interest, as well as for the 'white man." There are negroes who i lave grown gray in the business of 'cropping", as they call it, moving 'rom year to year to better (?) his :ondition, always behind in finances, vhen, if they had determined to stick 0 a farm, and helped, willingly, to Tj >uild it up, they might now be niak- " ng a bale or two more of cotton on 1 great deal less land. But one nerro, a young one, too, once told the vriter that the majority of his race vere so afraid that he would do too nuch for the white man, that he never lid enough for himself. I believe that s just it, too. Hey Denver, THEY ALL DEMAND IT. T1 Union, Like Every City and Town <? in the Union, Receives It. 1 People with kidney ills want to be ;ured.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES A SLUGGISH LIVER Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and You Ixtse a Day's Work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. alomel acts like dynamite on a slugish liver. When calomel comes into ontact with sour bile it crashes into , causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, contipated and all knocked out, just go 3 your druggist and get a r>0 cent ottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which ? a harmless vegetable substitute for angerous calomel. Take a spoonful nd if it doesn't start your liver and traighten you up better and quicker han nasty calomel and without makig you sick, you just go back and get our money. If you take calomel today you'll be ick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, : may salivate you, while if you take iodson's Liver Tone you will wake up eeling great, full of ambition and eady for work or play. It's harm;ss, pleasant and safe to give to chilren; thev like it. Age brings a man knowledge of lany things he doesn't want to know. An automobile and a Ford collided 1 Alamaba the other day. They aven't found the Ford yet so don't now how badly mutilated its occuants are. MUSTANG For Sprains, Lameness, Sores, Cuts, Rheumatism Penetrates and Heals.
