Thackston has resumed his duties in the weave room after an attack of grippe. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Riggs, who has been ill with meningitis, is thought to be out of danger. Rev. Finch of Mon-Aetna Baptist Church preached for the congregation of West Side last Sunday. Mr. Dover Gist of West Springs has been visiting her children, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Sprouse. Mrs. J. W. Moore is slowly improving after a spell of sickness. Rev. Griffith, a student of WoflFord College, filled the pulpit of the Green Street Church Sunday morning. Mr. Ellis of Spartanburg, president of the Epworth League of this State, organized a league at Green Street with 16 members. They are very much enthused over their new duties. Mr. Robert Jenkins, assistant Scout Master with the boys has rendered such efficient service and are always so willing to help in any way that the company had fitted up comfortable quarters over the II. & G. S. railway depot for them and in this they were assisted by W. N. Gibson and other officials. Mr. Joe Sparks, Government War Savings Agent, made a very impressive talk to the operatives of the Union Mills immediately after the closing of the mill on Wednesday evening. The substance of his talk was to show the importance of the War Saviqgs Stamps and what they mean to our government in this great crisis. Mr. .Tim Potty's little girl was bitten by a dog and it was thought, to have, been a mad doer but its head was sent to Columbia and examined and found not to contain any symptoms of hydrophobia and Lbo little girl is doing well. While it merely happened that the ? , Vlog was not 'mad, but it showed I just how narrow an escape the little prirl had and we would suggest that people should consider very seriously hte nuisance of a dog; they should also consider that it takes somethine to feed a dog where this food could be saved and put to the proper use and help to win the war. Let us suggest that not only Union Mill village hut that the whole town make a cam", paiprn on worthless dogs. It is very commendable to the management of the Union Mill for the many improvements that are being made for the help and hapr.iness within and outside of the mill. The man agement seems to have every interest of their people and it seems as though they are trying to make their living conditions as pleasant as possible. Valmar. At Hotel Union.

T'll be perfectly satisled when it is safe to lie down by myself."?Life. Cash The merchant who does not pay cash or promptly for his poods will be unable to pet his sare of the poods that is to be distributed, and owinp to the hiph price of every commodity, the merchant will be forced to borrow money and pay interest or collect from his customers prompelty. It is not a question of sellinp poods with a mefchant, but it is the question of pettinp enoupb of the staple commodities to make a distribution amonp his various customers. Often times, the merchant has to pay in advance before the arrival of his poods. The conscientious merchant'.fa--playing: a big part in the war and is very anxious to please and accomodate his customers as much as conditions will allow. The government is encournpinp every one to po on a cash basis 1n order to reduce the expense and loss of doinp business. The government does not expect the merchant to make money now, and all he hopes to do is keep his business together until after the war. We feel it is our duty, to let the public know the conditions as they actually are. Do not be indifferent as to meeting your obligations. Do not wait for the merchant to come for his money, but send it to him promptly. It is a certain fact that if a merchant fails to meet his obligations with his jobber, he will be ynable to supply his customers. Buy what you can pay for, and pay for it promptly. Come in and give us our money?we need it. Peoples Drug Store. Home of K-W Brand ?Quality.?Adv. Citation to Kindred And Creditors State of South Carolina, County of Union. By Hon. W. W.
