1sA- We learn that IN injunction has
been served upon the committee of the
Beard Of Trade and others interested in
changing the road between here and West 8
Spring, restraining them from encroachiug
upon certaiu lands through which the new
road would necessarily pass.
In this dilemma permit us to suggest that
the Town Ceuncil, the Board Of Trade nnd
County Commissioners join their forces and
put the old road in good permanent condi-
ton A small outlay Of money, some blast
ing and some judicious road work, would
make splendid road. with a hard rock
foundation, that would remain good for
years, and be better than any new road
Avoid lawsuits, gentlemen.

Eas" For the life of us we can see but one
reason for any one leaving the town Of
Union in quest of health and comfort, dur
ing any part Of the year; and that one rea-
son Is, desire for changes, anu TO be IN rhc
fashion.
We have often heard Medical men say that
change of air and surroundings was con-
ducive to mental and physical strength and
activity, rs it rubs off the rust that accumu-
lates from the monotony of everyday life,
rests the mind and body, Frightening both,
and renewing their vigor for the better per-
formance Of all their functions in the duties
Of life afterward.
But when any one leaves Union pretend
ing to seek healthier or pleasanter place in
Summer, or any other time of the year, he
or she will have long and dreary road TO
travel, and will return greatly disappointed
in the result of the search, and perfectly
satisfied that Union possesses oil the attrac-
tions of health, comfort, society, or solid
business advantages, equal to any place on

JoNEsvILLE, Aug. 19th.-The long wet
spell came to an end with US some ten
days since, but the weather has not been
altogether favorable for crops since. Part
Of the time it has been cool aud cloudy
which think very unfavorabls for cotton ;,
but te-d.y is clear and warm, jus. the thin:

The Gotten Seed Oil men have been around
establishing their agencies for the purpose
Of buying up the cotton seed this winter.
doubt very much the propriety of the
farmers selling their seed, unless they
take the meal in return. This they have
not been doing heretofore. They sell the
seed, use the money for mething else, and
then use o little Of the cheapest guano they
can find in the Spring; consequently the up
lands OF the country are being exhausted
at q very rapid rate. think this is thought
for discussion in tho ALI ance.
Our town is exceedingly healthy just

GGA- Our highly esteemed friend, Mr.. j.
L. s. Hill, formerly of this county, but now
of Okolona, Miss, paid us very pleasant
visit last Tuesday. In his visit to his native
county, this time he is accompanied by his
wife, who is the daughter of the venerabl e
and highly respected Col. Robert Beatty
about the Oldest man in the county.
We arc glad to see our good friend look

OF spirits, indicating that many years of life
are in store for him. Like all who leave
Union, Mr.. and Mrs. Hill still love it, and
would be glad to return if their business

Our Dead.
For thu TINES,

It has been said that the best evidence Of
the civilization Of q country is the condition
Of the public roads and we add and the
condition Of the cemeteries and burial
grounds, we blush to admit the fact that no
place has more neglected burial grounds
than Union. In the old village graveyard
in which rest the parents, wives and chill
dren Of many OF our citizens, the graves
are covered with rank growth Of weeds
and grass. Many graves have no stone to
mark the spot, lost in wilderness Of grass
and weeds is almost every sacred resting spot
Of our beloved dead loved and houorcd in
life, forgotten in death. This sacred ground
is too often made COW pasture. As we
walked through grass grown streets Of this
silent city of the dead, we were amazed, and
wondered in our mind, what would some
who are buried there think, If they could
como from their graves aud gaze for mo-
-urnt upon fhc scenef- As IL Is; they would
sink into their graves with the sad exclama-
tion, forgotten. Oh shameful neglect.
Do any of US now living feel that this will
be our condition, Of our grave? Knowing
what we do, how can we hope to have il
otherwise, when we too 90 hence. We
call upon the Ladies, who some years ago
formed society, and had committee to
attend to the grounds, and SO much contri. i.
buted at each meeting for the purpose
Of keeping the grounds neat and clean.
Some portions, the fence is broken down,
gates of, consequently, always open to dep
relations of stock, etc. This should not be
in highly intelligent and civilized oommu
nifty like old Union, who has always ranked
high in her pride of place, person and
character. UNo.

FEARFUL RECORD.-We are really
afraid to say how many homicidcs we have
had in South Carolina during the past
twelve months, but OF one thing we are GER
tain, and that is that it presents M ost
fearful record. Indeed, the matter has as
sumed such proportions that our most in
telligent men are considering how it may
be decreased, and what is the reason for
the increase
Human life seems in the eyes of many to
be more than that of the brute, aud man
kills his fellowman, in many instances,
for very trivial acuses, and, without even a
reprimaud, go out .gain into tho world o
free man, withou. any apparent repentance
for his most aw.ul deed
We search in vain for the cause of the
increase according to the views of many.
Men, prominent socially aud politically,
are shot down like dogs, and in most cases
the plea of self-defense is all that is neces-
sary to acquit. We dislike very much to
believe that this thing will continue, but
unless the laws are more rigidly enforced
and the rope brought more frequently into
use, we have little promise for improvement t
in the future.
We hope to see apublic sentiment culti-
waited that will look down upon those who
seem to have such an utter disregard for
human life, and one that will be such q
pressure upon our courts and .juries that
no guilty man will be allowed to escape

nea- So far the crops of cotton, corn and
peas never gave greater promise of large
yields. There is also, plenty of grass, which
should be saved for winter roughness.
Crab, or crop grass hay is fully as good rs
the Northern hay We buy at the stores, and
always finds ready sale Mt good prices.
Did it ever occur TO our farmers that they
get more for the hay they sell than the
Northern and Western farmers do? But,
such is a fact We pay the same for home
made hay, from tho wagon, that is charged
for Northern and Western hay, with railroad
freight added. If Northern and Western
farmers can, and they do, make money on
hay cut from land worth from $50 to $3.50
an acre, it does seem to us that the Southern
farmer could make money from hay cut from
land worth from So to $40 an acre, and more
especially when theyget at least the cost of
railroad freight more than the Northern and
Western farmers do.

THE UNION PHOTO. COMPANY.

Mr.. W. C. Gallagher, who fitted up such a
nice Gallery two years ago, has associated
with him his brother, A. j. Gallagher, whs
was located at Salisbury N. c., for over two
years, and his nephew, Mr.. Z. ]. Geddes
They propose carrying on the Photo bust.
ness over the above name. Their object
will be to visit the best towns in the State
and give the citizens the opportunity to &C.
cure firstclass work.
Mr. a. j. Gallagher has an experience of
thirteen years in the business, and studied
his profession in the leading Gallery in
Boston, Mass He will travel and take
negatives only, lat which he is most skilful, J
and will send them to Union where they
will be finished in the best city style, so that
the towns visited will have all the advantages
of first-class city Gallery during his stay

NJ The Town Council is talking about
ordering large fire alarm bell, and erect
ing an engine house. Well, we think il
would be wise expenditure Of money.
The fire engine is now 50 exposed to the
weather that it is almost impossible to keep
it in working condition and although & res
in Union generally involve considerable loss
when they do occur, they occur SO seldo ON
that the engine is forgotten and neglected,
and when its services are demanded
it is 80 out Of order that either it
cannot be used at al or the fire gets
beyond control before it can throw stream
upon it.
We suggest, however, that il they pur-
chase bell, it should be placed on the
hotel. That would be the most central
position and being nearer the populous part
Of the town, the alarm from il would be
heard quicker and by more people than il
placed at the extreme end besides, it
would be always accessible, aud at the
same time under the eye Of some one to
prevent its being rung for false alarms.

it was o grand affair 15O gray haired
veterans gathered around the festive board
to partake of the hospitality Of their admir-
ing countrymen, and congratulate themselves
and each other that they had escaped the
rayages of war and time and had lived to
see their country peaceful and prosperous
once more.
Our friend Hon. A. A. Sarratt, has placed
us under lasting obligations to him for a
present in the shape Of splendid walking
cane. He is no man to court notoriety, but

A protracted meeting will begin at Abing-

HeA- The Cotton Factory is not dead, but

allow such IN important project to fall
through for the want Of the small sum Of
$4,000. Nearly the whole Of the money

up the stock Of cotton on haud; il their

cotton comes in, the Factories will be COM
