THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1917. Do not fail to hear Dr. Stewart tonight at First Baptist church. t Get vour neitrhbor to come hear Dr. Stewart at First Baptist church tonight, Thursday, at 7:30 o'clock. * The people of Union will enjoy a rare treat in the lecture of Dr. Stew- < art which is to be delivered here in the First Baptist church this evening 2 at 7:30 o'clock. Dr. Stewart is given up to be one of the best platform ^ speakers in America today. lie will speak at only a few points in this 2 State. The Times man, interested in 5 the general welfare of the community, made an earnest effort to get Dr. Stewart to Union, for one of his South Carolina appointments, and it goes without saying that we believe in the j * I man and his message. You will miss . a real treat if you fail to come out tonight. V Now you see how our tobacco fund has grown. We felt sure all along c that the $r>0 would come, and come it has,?almost, and the balance will come today. The largest contribution was from Oudalee Tribe of Red Men, who voted this fund a contribution of l>0 r.A O't- ! . A- * - - 1 * ? % oo.iju. i ins organization aiso aonaten I $5.00 to the Y. M. C. A. war fund last ~ week. We asked not one man or woman C for a contribution. The appeal you have seen in the paper is all the ap- 51 peal we made. Nobody was urged to ? give more than 25c; you see, many of e them exceeded that amount by a gen- T erous margin. * _____________ ii We feel confident that the war sit- * nation grows daily brighter for the allies, and darker for German ambition. The great Austor-German drive on the Italian front seems to have t spent its force, or, at least, is met e with force sufficient to resist every b effort of the Austro-German army. On a vl the northern French front the allies tl have made good their recent advance, ti The German submarine is no longer ei the master, although it may yet be the menace of the seas. These facts v look good for the allies, had for Germany. Then, too, the reports from si Germany show a continual, and in- ? creasing opposition to war on the part ^ of the Socialists. The recent consul- p( tation looking to an armistice pro- tl moted by the Bosheviki leaders and the German authorities looks not very ^ f'Otld for flpi-mnnv Thn nmnornr- mncf be in bad case if he is willing to 0I negotiate with the extreme radicals cc in Russia.

All round it is beginning to look good for the jf allie.s fc Macbet Young, attorney, has moved his offices into temporary quarters op- Tl posite the postoffice. II Dr. K. G.
