Rev. J. M. Trogdon reported a ffreni aay last ounaay. un comingout of the church at Beulah he found his car loaded with good things to eat. Beulah is made up of the best. She is always willing to do her part. At the beginning of this year the church voted quite an increase on the pastor's salary. Mr. Trogdon highly appreciates all these gifts and prays the blessings of God to rest on all. In the afternoon Rev. A. Finch was with Mr. Trogdon at Fairview and preached for him. After an able sermon a large collection was taken for Home and Foreign Missions. At night Pastor Trogdon preached at Tabernacle and raised over $40.00 on the church debt. This makes over $50.00 that has been raised for this purpose recently. Tabernacle seems to be taking on new life and we are expecting great things of her in the future. Services at Fairview Two services will be held at Fairview Baptist church on next Sunday, (Faster) with dinner on the grounds. The morning service, which will be helil in fbe interecf ctf tbe TTnme nn<1 Foreign mission work, will likely be conducted by Rev. R. P. Jackson of Spartanburg, assisted by the Pastor, Rev. J. M. Tropdon, and at the close a special collection will be taken for the urgent needs of this work at present. Before adjournment for dinner or immediately afterwards a Sunday school will probably be organized and officers elected. At three o'clock p. m., Marehant Camp W. O. W. will unveil a monument in the Fnirview cemetery to the late Sovereign R. J. Wilson, former master mechanic at Ottaray mills. The address for the occasion will be delivered by Judpre Mendel L.

Isn't it about time something definite was being done regarding the hosts of hungry chickens running at large? Already a number of reports have come in concerning early garlens wrecked bv denredatimr chick ens, gardens for which everybody from the President of the Uunited States on down is asking; pardons which are to mean much needed food which must he raised at home if it is obtained. Are the people of Union going to he content to have other progressive cities, and even towns make and enforce this much needed law while we sit complacently and have our crops destroyed because we do not like to offend the fellow who is so narrow that he thinks his chickens should he monarchs of all they survey? We do not for one moment question the right of a man to have a polar hear on his own premises, hears are pood thinps in their proper places, and so lonp as the bear stays there, there is no objection. Chickens are a most excellent asset likewise and people are urged to keep them under proper conditions, on their own promises, not in other people's pardens. The sooner we understand the weipht of cooperation iff id moral laws I the sooner Union will prow along wholesome lines. There should be no reason for requesting the enactment of a chicken law if the people would fairly and impartially recopnize the riphts of others and obey the best sentiment which prevails. We do not think of permittinp our hops, horses, mules, cows and poats to run at larpe and destroy property because public sentiment has said 'tis wronp and unfair. Why not apply the same principle to chickens. We are usually willinp to put forth sufficient effort and buy wire to see that our own pardens are protected hut many of us think our pood neiphbor a heathen of the deepest dye when he complains hecause we have disreparded his rrphts on his own place. If we are to have War Gardens for the production and conservation of the all necessary food we must first have protection, either from a community sentiment, city ordinance, or both, but it is honed that extreme measures will be unnecessary and that the polden rule will find its place with every chicken owner, but the time is right at hand when, if we are prom# to have any gardens from which we may reasonably expec; returns that the long discussed matter was settled and settlen forever, so Union may stand in the front ranks with other cities in its quota of food.
