JONES VILLE Jonesville, May 9.?While both the newspapers of Union will, no doubt, have detailed accounts of the entertainments given the Veterans and their wives at Union Saturday, I wish to say for myself that it was a grand feast and a pleasant occasion for the Veterans and their wives who attended. About one hundred Veterans, with quite a number of their wives, were royally dined at the dinner table, the waitresses being the maids and matrons of the town. I didn't see a negro in the dining room, neither did the speaker of the occasion mention the negro in his address. As for myself, I liked the address of Mr. Jones better than any I have heard on such an occasion. There was quite a contrast in the appearance of those that made up the line of march from the high school building which was headed by the children representing the young, the beautiful and gay, while the Veterans J J 1 icpic^ciibcu tuc uiu, inu uccrcpii ana the pray, and while the pray line is day by day diminishing and being thinned by death the pay lines are increasinp in greater numbers. "Oh, what will be the harvest be," when these all arrive at mature ape. Sunday was a record breaker for heat. 90 degrees in the shade is what the mercury registered. Sunday was also a record breaker with the colored people at their first church here. They came from the four quarters of the globe and the crowd was immense. The services at the Presbv?erian church were very impressive, the sac^ rament of the Lord's supper was administered. The new and beauttiful individual sacrament service was used for the first time. This very dry weather is causing some fear among the farmers as to stands of cotton and getting their iana properly prepared, as much of the land has not yet been broken. Dr. F. M. Ellerbe. who is principal of the high school here, will not stand for reelection for the next year. Dr. Ellerbe was made captain of the Coast Guards company lately made up here, which increases the work of Dr. Ellerbe more than he can perform. I hear that three of the teachers will not stand for reelection. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Alman and Mr. Henry J. Hames attended the State Sunday School convention in Charles* ton last week. Mr. D. B. Free sold 101 bales of cotton a few days ago at 12 cents the pound. Gov. Manning is to make the ad dress to the graduating class of 'the high school here on the evening of the 19th inst. Telephone. *T"W71T nrn-wm.T AJCiL IU1> *r;-- JKelton, May#.?We are having hot "weather now. If we could get a (rood season of rain we would soon have good stands of cotton and the farmers would finish planting corn as there is a good deal to plant. Gardens are drying up for the lack of moisture and nothing planted will come up if the dry weather continues much longer. It will prove serious. Well, I had the good pleasure of enjoying the hospitality of the noble J women of Union last Saturday in a sumptuous dinner which I think every old Confed enjoyed so much and I think the ladies enjoyed serving the old Vets as much as they die! eating those good eatables. T can truthfully say that T have been to the State Reunions at Aiken. Charleston, Columbia, Chester, Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg and Rock Hill and T find just as noble women in Union county as anywhere, so young men, you need not go out of the countv to get a wife. They" are right here among you. I carried Mr?. G. T. G. with me and I am sure she enjoyed herself the very best. I thought at one time during the afternoon that I was going to get in trouble. I lost her. but good luck, I found her. In looking for her T ran upon another brother comrade who said he had lost his. In looking for my wife I went into a store and one of the lady clerks asked me what I would have. T told her T had lost mv wife and was looking for her. She replied, "Am I her?" I hesitated a moment before I answered and I thought of saying, "Yes." but that would have been too bad. I will say she looked much younger than mine. 1 am still holding on to mine. A friend said to us that I was holding mv own better than she. I told him she had worn herself out waiting on me. A good woman never tires waiting on her husband. Miss Mary Garner and Mrs. Will Garner spent several davs visiting relatives and friends in Spartanburg recently. The Kelly school c'osed its session last Friday with a big picnic. $hoat<? and mutton barbecued with plenty of hash and every good thing to eat. It was a day long to be remembered by | the young people. Also the older Misses Mabel Kelly and Elizabeth Little of Kelton, who have been attending the Welford school, came home last week. The school closed last Monday. The boys on the Ridge are spending these dry days fishing. They are having pretty good luck. i G. T. G.

The graduating class this year is composed of seven boys and seven girls. The address to this class will be made on the last evening by Gov. Richard I. Manning. The juniors of the high school entertained the seniors jind the high school faculty at the home of Mr. J. M. Gault on last Thursday evening, and the affair proved to be a very deliehtful occasion. Dr. and Mrs. H. T. Hames entertained about \a dozen of their friends at a week-end party out at their new bungalow near Pacolet river. Fishing was one of the chief features and all report a most enjoyable time. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Harris stopped over with their mother, Mrs. S. L. Crawford for a few days on their, return from their bridal trip spent at Boston, Mass., and on Sunday evening, they left for their home in Atlanta. Mesdames E. C. Free and A. B.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED \MSEY < r and Decorater SOB-J \ # / SAYS DAU6HTER SOUGHT BELIEF FOR 18 YEARS All Medical Treatment Failed to Give Mrs. Taylor's Daughter Ease. THEN CHANGE CAME Mi's. Taylor Says, "All This Im provement Was Given hv Three Bottles of Tanlac." How her daughter had been undei medical treatment for eighteen (18) years without obtaining permanent relief but growing steadily worse ii some respects and how taking jusl three bottles of Tanlac had relieve* her suffering and had done wonderful work in restoring her daughter's health, was explained by Mrs. W. S Taylor, proprietress of the Tayloi House, at 1818'/^ Main St., Columbia S. C., in one of the most remarkable statements given the Tanlac representative by any Columbian. "I think the work of Tanlac is almost a miracle, so great was the relief it gave my daughter," said Mrs Taylor. "It is a wonderful remedy [ never knew of anything like it," sh< added. After stating that she could heartily endorse Tanlac, Mrs. Taylor said: "My daughter suffered from a ner /ous breakdown, it seemed, for five (5) years. The doctors did not know vhat was the matter with her. She lad no appetite, and could not sleep. She had lost weight and lacked energy. Her system was in a terribly un down condition. "She had been under medical treatnent for eighteen (18) years?since ihe was just little girl. She was alvays rather listless and never was itrong and healthy like other girls, finally, her condition became so bad hat an operation was thought neces;ary, and she underwent the operaion. She did not show the improvenent that was expected, however. In ?act, she did not seem to receive iny particular permanent benefit 'rom it. I.ike thousands of others, T sup>ose, I bought Tanlae because I had ead so many of the testimonials .elling of the great value it posjesses. It is just wonderful the way lerves were quieted by this remedy n a really wonderful way. It gave ler a great appetite, an appetite that vas so good she would eat the three egular meals each day and then vould get something more to eat at light before she retired. She began .o sleep like a child, something she lad not done in many months, and, ill this improvement in her condiion wps brought about by just three lottles of Tanlac. "J?recommend Tanlac because it is wonderful remedy. I never knew if anything like it. I think the work his medicine is doing is miraculous. ' have no objection to your publishing this statement and saying I sure lo believe in Tanlac, for I would like *s\r* otromrliA/ltT fA of ifo " * v? v? j >'vuj cu i\iiv?v ui itn v aiuc.
