The Union Steam Mill.


Mr.. James l. Harris, who has taken charge OF
the Union Steam Mill has sent us n sample of
the wheat Flour, corn Meal and Grist he is
turning out. We Pronounce the -four fully
equal to the celebrated Kcnnesaw Brand, in eve
ry respect, which is placing it upon the top
round of popular favor. The meal and Grst
arc equal to any we have ever eaten from any
mill.
Mr.. Harris is q young man of very superior
charactcr--intelligent industrious, accommodate
ing and prompt in all business transactions
and we cannot too highly recommend him and
the mill he has charge of to those wishing to
have good grinding done.
While the firm name has been changed, Mr..
T. VI. Whitesidcs is still interested in the Mill +,
but other interests demands SO much of his at
tention that he is compelled to give the charge
of it to Mr.. Harris.

letter from Hon. j. If. Evins informs us
that the Post Master General has consented TO
increase the mail service between Yorkvillc and
Union to twice week, commencing on the Ist
of July next. We had understood chat this
route, No. ll3l, was to bc divided, so as TO
overcome the difficulty so often experienced from
high water in crossing Broad River. We cant
sec the sense of the mail route from Yorkvillc
extending beyond Union G. H., crossing the
only railroad that supplies the interior of this
County, with mail matter and subiccting ~
citizens to vexatious delays by reason of obsta-
cles encountered beyond the County seat

L. Thomas.
Mr.. Foster will enter upon the duties of his
office about Tuesday next, and we sincerely hope
will be prepared t" pay the checks Of the Coun-
ty Commissioners at the meeting of the Board
on the second Tuesday in July. The term of
Office of the late Treasurer having expired at
the last meeting he did not feel authorized to
pay out the money, consequently large num-
Der of the creditors Of the County were sadly
disappointed and many put to great inconvcn-
ence. Some we know were compelled to borrow
money at high rate of interest, TO meet en-
gagcments solcnnly made upon the faith of re-
ceiving part the whole of what was due
them BY the County, while others had to sell
their claims at an enormous discount.

Please pay particular attention to
tho quotation marks. The ladies are
devoting two afternoons a week to
the cultivation of their understand

the "Sorosis'' meets at the charming
residence of Mrs. General Pope, and
there they listen to book entitled
the "MoOrs and Saracens in Spain,"
which the different ladies Of the
club, take turns, in reading aloud.
Then on Saturdays ''Le Club Fran
cais," composed of fourteen mem
bers also of the fair sex, meet alter
mattel y at the houses of the different
members, and spend two hours of
the afternoon in reading aloud selec-
tions in French and conversing in
that tongue upon the various topics
of the day, such as, the Indians, the
cattle disease &C., in short, like the
Magazines, they devote the heeting
hours to science, literature and art,

But | think after all the most enjoy

express it here, ''hoo doo," or in
more elegant parlence a sociabIe, one
evening in the hop-room, where we
played cards, danced to the music
of a violin and piano, played by
some Of the ladies and gentlemen of
the post, and some went SO far as to
engage in a game OF blind mans
