The local cotton market in Union Thursday was 17^4 cents. This is quite a drop from 20 cents the pound. > The boll weevil will have little terror for Union county farmers if they will prepare for his coming by sowing prain. The Christmas spirit is in the air! Just ten more days and lo! old Santa Claus will be on hand. This will be pood news to all the little folk. Here is our puess at the contents of the "jar of money" in Glymph's window?$25.13. Hope we pet it, but if we do it will be the first time we ever pot money for nothinp. A fine array of jups are daily arrivinp by express these days. It is to be hoped that no little children will be deprived of a visit from Santa Claus because of papa's jup. And so, Villa threatens to eat up the inhabitants alonp the Mexican border? We have for some time seriously doubted if Villa ever heard of many of the threats said to eminate from him. Perhaps our merchants need to be informed upon one requirement of the insurance companies: If you have "fireworks" on sale in your store without a special permit, and should, in the meantime have a fire, your insurance is void. You could not collect a cent of the insurance! Ix J. Hames, one of Union's enterprising wholesale grocerymen, furnished us with a sample package of "Yam Nuts," a breakfast food manufactured from sweet potatoes. The concern that manufactures this preparation is located in Greenville, and is capitalized at a large figure. The "food" is quite palatable. i 1 . . 1 ? We respectfully suggest that you read the advertisements we are carrying. The Union merchants will sell you goods at as reasonable prices as you will find anywhere. And when you trade with Union merchants you are building up your own town. Don't forget the fact that when you spend money in the other man's town you are sending the commercial blood away from your own community. Peace prospects for Europe may be better at this time than at any time since the beginning of the great war, but that is about all that can be said. No one believes that the terms proposed by Germany will be accepted by the allies. Indeed, to do so would but give to Germany complete victory. We believe the only result of the proposal from Germany will be to quicken the war pulse of the allies. We have been investigating the prices charged by Union merchants and those charged by out-of-town merchants, and the comparison is no discredit to the merchants of Union. It will pay you to buy from your Union merchants. The prices are more reasonable, and you keep the money at home. In fact, some of the money you spend here will find its way back into your pocket. You buy a suit of clothes from a Union merchant; he buys a cord of wood from you?some of your money gets back to you before you ran turn round! "OLD SCROOGE." As is our custom, we beg to pay our respects to "Old Scrooge," an evil minded, sordid crook, who periodically makes his appearance just before Christmas each year. This old "killjoy" is a deep-dyed villian, and he is usually a liar, although he would not own it to save your life. The joy of Christmas is destroyed for many little folk by the constant mouthings of this old fellow. It is too had that it should be so. Especially when we know that most children, when a little planning is used, can he made happy with small outlay of money. It is not the value that counts most hut the spirit and the wise planning. If the busy man of the family will give just a small amount of thought to the happiness of his children, he will not only confer a blessing upon them, hut he will find a happiness for himself that he has missed lo! these many years. NOTICE TO We find it imperative that and therefore beg to announce advance, the rate from one dolli a year.
