CIRCULAE.--You will confer favor on me,
and do a service to many old soldiers, if you
will be good enough to give notice through your
paper that all claims for artificial limbs will be
paid in full at the very earliest eriod, and that
parties entitled to the same will receive notice
from this Office soon rs there are funds in the
Treasury for that purpose.
The records Of this Office being accessible to
any one wishing to examine them, certain par
ties have obt aimed a list OF these claims, anil
have been offering to purchase them from the
holders at a heavy discount, or to collect them
on commission = thus giving the impression that
they have facilities for expeditipg their payment.
This action is absolutely without the authority
or sanction of this Office, and earnestly advise
holders not to part with their claims to any
agent, but to deal directly with this office in their
settlement. ask that you will give this notice
entirely in the interest of these poor old !vete-
rams. Respectfully,

prise among our people, now is chance to show
it. Who is there in this town will meet the
offer of our public spirit friend? Who will
come forward and help us to arouse q public
interest in this matter?
A nucleus has now been offered, around which
may be gathered all the enterprise of the town
and County Of Union, for the future advance
ment and prosperity of every industrial and
commercial interest and unless those among us
whoare most deeply interested, have settled down
with the determination that they riH do nothing

Will Union Force us to Build the Road Around
Her.
For the Times.

NORTH PAcoLEr.
MR. EpIToR the people of this section take
more interest in the tilt between yourself and
the Board Of Trade of Union, than you perhaps
are aware of. You might have told the public
that Union did not appear to wa6t another Rail
road, for we learn that such is the case. But,
MIR. Editor we are not so much surprised ut
this fact Us we are at her reasons for such oppo,
sition.
We understand that some of her prominent
citizens argue that should the Union, Gaffuey
City and Rutherford Railroad be built large
portion of the present trade Of Union would be
carried to other points. What humiliating
| confession for Union to make! Do they mean
to say that ali the trade that could possibly leave
Union has done so already. and that tho balance
would follow whenever an opportunity presented
itself? If this be true, what greater verifca-
tion of your statement do you want-what greater
| could you nsk?
Everything seems to indicate that a Eev men
in Union think that Pea Ridge an1 North Paco
let belong to Union or themselves, by Divine
right.
Wewoull remind Union thutrwe fell into line
when she asked us to assist them in building q
Railroad outside the limits Of the State, aud
that VIC think she is acting in bad faith towards
t'us by refusing to lend us q helping hand to
build one through our County.
Cant you, Mr.. Editor, induce some of the gen.
tlemen, who take such an interest in our welfare
| once every two years, to arouse by their elo-
quence the Rip Van Wrinkles of Union or have
they entirely forgotten us in this "olf year p
| If such is the case, we can assure them that we
cannot forget them as long the mulIy roads
| last.
Union can, by her disunion, prevent us from
building Railroad to her borders, but we are
consoed by the fact that we can build it to some
other town, and will do so before many years

Deposit Your Money.

The many crimes reported in the newspapers.
OF arson, robbery, md even murder, for money,
should a!monish everybody not to keep more
money about their persons or in their houses
than is actually necessary. The case of burning
and robhing Mr.. Lafayette Briggs house il
one in point. The negroes who committed that
diabolical deed expected to fad large sum of
money in the house. which they knew Mr..
Briggs had received a few days before but, fortu
nately for him, Mr. Briggs h.d deposited it, in
the Bank mere, only taknga small amoun, to
Florida with him.
1t costs nothing to deposit money in the
Union Bank. where it will be perfectly safe from
fire or robbers, and will always be ut the
demand ofthe owner. just rs he may want it from
twenty five cents up to the whole amount. we
are surprised that SO many of our most sacacious
citizens in this county risk keeping considerable
sums In their houses, tempting the cupility.
avarice and villainy Of thieves. incendiaries
and murderers, when such safe and convo-
nient place of deposit is offered them by the
Merchants and Planters National Bank Of
Union. Of course no one doubts the solidity Of
the Bank, for it is con lucted by men of most
solid business character and upon purely. legiti-
mate and sound business principles A man
liVing inthe extreme section Of the county
who has money deposited in the Bank here
can dra" his check upon it at his own home
and it is MS good greenbacks in hand. Per.
