Oh, M,yBack!!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver com
plant, consumption, coil,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, ,ovc---
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever thecause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.

Tho County Fair.

Tho County Fair.
We are truly glad to learn that quite n num-
Der of young farmers in the County have deter
mined to take active parts in the Agricultural
society and in making the annual Fair grand
success.
IL is also pleasure to us to note the general
desire among all classes of people in the County
to do something to ensure the success of the
next exhibition, and from prescLt indications
it will be finer and more attractive than any
preceding Fair.
We arc promised some fine native cows, oxen
and swine, from Own farmers Jersey
Devon and other imported breeds Of cattle from
other Counties, horses and mules, and other
animals for exhibition.
The Ladies, too, will take n greater interest in
it than they have ever taken before, and we
confidently expect their departments will be
filed TO overnowing.
Besides these, the officers are making efforts
TO add some very interesting features to the
Fair, which we think will make il unusually
attractive and highly beneficial. All they ask
is, that the Farmers of the County, their wives
md daughters, will give them their encourage
ment and assistance, and they will promise them
an annual exhibition that shall eclipse any thing
of the kind ever seen in Union County before,
and one that shall be both m honor ani pr fit
to the Farmers of the County.
The Farmers and the wives anil daughters of
Union County always have made finer showings
in their several departments than any OF the
surrounding Counties, and they can do it this
year, if they will only make united effort
There are hundreds of people in Union who
have nu seen their County seat for years, and
we hope they will make arrangements to be here
at The Fair, bring something to exhibit and see
and learn what other parts OF the County are
doing

Almost a Fire.

y ripple in the usual placid current of affairs
in our community was made early on Wednes-
day morning last by an alarm of fire, caused
from spark of fire from the chimney of a
small house next to CG?t f. NJ. Farr's dwelling,
falling upon the roof and setting fire to the dry
shingles. 1t did but slight damage but the roof
was almost like finder, and slight breeze would
have famed it into flame that must have done
immense mischief, as every thing around it is
now in such combustible condition that il could
not have been controlled, and we doubt much
whether the fire engine is in such working order

No Rain Yet.

In this vicinity everything begins to look sad
and gloomy. In the language of an old farmer
''thc sun and wind seem to- have drawn all the
life out of the soil" In many parts of the
county they have had good seasons, in others not
good rain has fallen on the corn and
cotton since they were planted. At this time,
however, general rain would be blessing to

Clifton Factory.
A friend has given us the following as the
daily work of the Clifton Factory, in Spartan
burg County:
Cotton worked up, 82 bales yarn produced,
4,500lbs; Cloth made 2s, 900 yards.
We also learn that the town of Clifton has
about 400 nhabitants--about the same as the
old town of Union Clifton has been in exist.
ence about years, while Union has been in
existence beyond the memory of its Oldest in
habitant.
Clifton is about eight miles from Spartanburg
on the Airline r. r., and a merchant of that
city, few days ago, told us that the trade from
Clifton was OF immense Importance to Spartan
burg. This is complete reply TO those who
oppose railroads to this town because they would
build up small towns along their lines. Char
lotte, STartauburg and GrecnvileAave increased
in business fve.fold since the many towns along
the airline railroad were first cstablishcd.-
Railroads drive out old fogysm and bring in
its place competition in trade, enterprise in
business and more liberal spirit toward the
general good.

TRADE DOLLAR TALK.-The Rochester Union
asks: % If the much abused trade dollar has q

inoerabe nuisance as we'll as a source of loss
A little common sense even in dealing with the

tageously both at Washington and throughout
the country, and would possess the merit Of
novelty, too.
