Jov Baptist churcl Kelton, Sunday morninp at 11 o'clocl in the Edisonia theatre, Union, Sui day afternoon at J o'clock and in tl Buffalo Baptist church, Buffalo, Sut day eveninp at 7:J Oo'clock. We fe sure that all who are fortunate enoup to hear him will be fully repaid f< LiiL-ir going. mo is a "not snot," "live wire," and whatever else it tak< to make a stirring lecturer. ? Let us go about our work, eve though war is imminent. Crops mm be raised, merchandising must go 01 mills, railways and every human ci terprise must of necessity move 01 The great wheels of industry mus turn. Our safety and future vol being are to be guarded not by be in "quitters," but by standing faithf ul in our place. "We do sincerely hot there will be a tremendous crop < Irish potatoes this season. Our ui| ply is already exhausted an 1 corn mei is being worked over time. We ca stand it, but prefer not to have t stand it. IT IS EFFICIENCY THAT COI NTJ More and more it is being demoi strated that high efficiency is the cr\ ing need. There is no use in cost plaining when you are outstripped b another. The thing to do is to tab stock of yourself. You will find th . low efficiency is perhaps your trouhh t r i? > ji iu?u your joo, anci another ha it, ask yourself whether the man wh has the jolt is more efficient? If li is, you can blame no one but yourseh The unprepared man, the deficient 1 trained man, the incompetent ma must and will jrive place to the ma prepared for his work. Any and everything that interfere with efficiency should be outlawe< This is a day for the well trainei efficient man. Any other sort of ma is too expensive, makes too many mitakes, fails in too many critical peri ods. He must pive place to another. i AS TO THE HOND ISSl K. Now that the bond issue has carrie for Union township, it is time to b rivinrr nut 4^ ,.i?? iiic commissioners a<i vice in chunks. Wo have none to giv them. Wo believe thov will carry on faithfully the big job that the town ship has put upon them. We belicv they will honestly and earnestly prose cute this work and that it will be wel done. We only pray that it may b spotdilj done. If this township sue ceeds in this movement it will sprea to every other township in the rount> We are sorry that it is not to be county-wide proposition from th start, but feel sure that success i l*i.ion township will spell success fo all the townships. On Tuesday of this week Lauren county voted on a county-wide s;.00, AAA 1 1! i* www uomi issue ior goou roodx and tn< bond issue carried l>y almost three t< one. It is understood that the I .an rens county people, provided the $.'100, 800 bond issue carried, intend to ad< another $200,000 bond issue, making i half a million. We had hoped tha Union county would set the pace fo Laurens county, but it seems the "shot is on the other foot." I m ' 5 There seems little doubt but that the congress of the United States will ^ declare that a state of war exists _ between this country and Germany, r We do not feel it necessary to become seized with a gripping fear nor r do we feel it to be right that we - should become possessed of a rabid '' war spirit. This is a time for sane - people to exercise common sense. If fight we must, let us do our part ? bravely and with an undying loyalty 0 to our country. If, in the providence of God there be found some honorable g way to a speedy peace, let us remem0 jber our allegiance to the Great Teacher, "The Prince of Peace," and gladly accept that path for our feet. It is ( I wise that this country make thorough , 'preparation for war. It is right that , I we remember the fact that war is 1 n the last resort, and then only in dei fence of our honor. It is well, also, u i y 'to remember that the loudest talkers j, are often the last to do the fighting. Let us refrain from unseemly speech, but perform in the spirit of true men, j. he duties that come to us. LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, April 4.?We have several very pretty spring days n the past week and a great deal of gar , jdening has been done. Saturday was la day for planting and fixing the gar'* I dens in this section. This morning the k.jplows are going everywhere and if this j J be a fair week there will be lots of jwork done. u | It seems the speculator has it his i- way now; everything is so liigh. Of ^ | course in some places feed stuff was tnot made last year, even this section of Union county suffered a great loss >r, by too much rain, but the prices shoul I 'not be so high. Irish potatoes, c'-I.OO a I bushel?isn't that too high.' 1 heai I many people say they will not plant any this year, too high?can't H'oid to buy them. I believe we o.'ght t i buy some and make our own seed. ! am going to plant and am in hopes I can make some to eat and then I will i, save my own seed for planting. My ). father never had to buy any seed?al) | ways had a plenty. It seems now that the war is bring'*|ing about their times of speculation !- and we do not know the outcome. War ^ i talk is all we hear these days. I do not like to prophesy hut if the United ^ I States gets into war, I fear prices .c'will go higher and we will "have to do ft like the people in the Confederate war. ! I remember my mother making salt '" from the dirt she dug from the smoke il house and others did the same thing. ITU?.. i :i_ i i.L . -i?i , j i i iii-j iiunvu ini; uirt a own tin it made | some kind of salt?I cannot tell just ? how it was done but it was done and | made salt for their own use. Other things were made; some made shoes , ; without leather, they were made with ' | wooden bottoms and cloth uppers. CofI fee was made from the wheat, rye and . sweet potato and I have heard them ] ! say it was pood coffee. We never know what we can do until we have y it to do. e! My father said he had filled his canteen of water from a mud hole in the i middle of the road. This seems stranpo but they could not always wait unt'l s|they came to the next stream. It looks like water is free but it was not aljways plentiful. Listen apain! I e heard him say he had seen some pathf. jer waste corn from off the pround v I where the horses had been fed and ' J parch and eat it. I could tell lots n J more and will some future time when n T can think of it. Conpress meets today, but we do not know what the outcome will be. s Rev. Mr. Justus and Mr. H. J. i. I Tames took dinner :it <br> r>r "\Ti. i A. I.. Gault Sunday and attended tb? i Sunday school at the Gault school n!house in the afternoon. Mr. Justus - made a fine talk and had many jitte?i I_ tive hearers. Rev. J. II. Brown of Monarch preached a fine, educational sermon at New Hope Sunday morning. T.'ev. Thrasher filled his pace at Rt. I ford Grove and reports a good school at that place. f' Miss Sallie Cunningham, the well - known and efficient teacher of the Ma(i hry school, has finished her term and is at the home of her sister, Mrs. A t L. Gault. While in Pineknev township last week T stopped at the home of Mrs Medora Garner, where I had dinner. ~ Airs. Garner says she makes every1 thiat home on her farm, has not anything to huy hut sugar and eofToo hut like everybody else she is short '* on feedstufT for her stock. She ;s a d i fine business woman, looks after h"? : farm and has many hoods of young chickens and has seven or eight hens 111 sitting.

STYLE SHOCKS AMELIA E. BARR. New York, March 29.?Undressed women in half portion frowns shock the venerable authoress, Amelia S. Barr, she admitted on this, her 87th birthday. Mrs. Barr, who has her home at Richmond Hill, Booklyn, is the author of more than 75 novels which for more than half a century have been perused by the novel readers of this and other countries. Mrs. Barr believes Dame Fashion shows poorer taste and less of it today than at any time in the last 75 years. Women of today, Mrs. Barr declared, do not dress, they undress. And their clothes are ugly, too, she says. In addition to that she thinks girls today go in too much for athletics and use too much slang. Slang in the mouth of a woman, she said, is a sure sign she is on the downward path. Golf and tennis are for men only, she believes. Mrs. Barr is as alert and active as at 40. There are several ways of improving your time which aren't set forth in the good advice in the old-fashioned copy books. Courtesy opens many doors and the lacl? of courtesy leaves them open.
