Correspondence OF tho Union Times.
Naxs from North Pscelet.

ETA JANE, Nov. 1S.-The delightful
weather we have had all Fall came to an end
last Saturday, and has practically put an
end to farm work for the present, ut least.
A good deal of scattering cotton is yet in the
field, where it is likely to remain until it is
seriously damaged by the weather.
In consequence Of our ginners putting
their work down so low, it is hard to get any
ginning done at all. TO gin for the forfieth,
or % cents hundred. is more than anybody
can do and make any money at it for both
the ginner and the farmer. No ordinary
gin can turn out from to 10 bales Of cotton
per day and make good sample. So "what
the farmer makes in meal he will lose IN
malt
We have been knocking around some
lately, seeing some of the sights and people
of our county, and are perfectly satisfied
not to have lived n hundred years ago. In
that event we would most likely be dead
now. Among the many pleasant things we
heard was the compliment paid our brother
of the quill, .E. W. j." by some intelligent
young ladies. Who they were it is none Of
tho readers business, but We will perhaps
inform our friend when we meet him. We
hope he will always hold the place in their
esteem he now occupies l tell you, friend
L. w. J, would take such an endorsement
as an honor. If some of our North Pacolct
boys, who know could do so if they would
try, would begin to write for their county
paper they would soon elicit the laudations
of the girls and provoke many pleasant re-
marks from them, Try it boys.
Last Tuesday we enjoyed the hospitality
of our old friend and Military commander,
Col. |. G. McKissick, at his happy home at
Union. With his noble wife and interesting
| family the old veteran can spend the last
| days of his useful life in comfort, and with n
full appreciation of the honors conferred on
| him by his countrymen.
Our thanks are due Mr.. G. w. McKown,
of Mercer for some specimens of his differ
cnt varieties ofturnips. One of them weighed
| 5 lbs and the others were oil of good size.
| This has been an unusually bad season for
| turnips-no rain Of any consequence since
| August last. Wash. is farmcrright.
Mrs. Jeff Hughes is lying very low and, to
| all human appearances, before this reaches
our readers, she will have passed to her re-
J ward beyond the grave. Mr.. jeff Hughes
himself is in very critical condition, as
mentioned in our last. lie and his family
have our sympathies in their trying moment.
| We trust that our friends will not forget the
| thanksgiving service at Salem on the 2Sth,
and that onr lady friends, Gf we have any,
will honor us with their presence, and with
well-illed baskets, on that day. We expect
| to have some good music and interesting
| speeches on that occasion. Everybody come.
| A schocl-mastcr has sent us the following
problem for our boys and girls this week :
| "A man rows 4 miles per hour on saltwater,
miles up stream in ! hours; how long
will be required to run miles down stream
Send in your answers and we will acknowl-
edge them. Vox.

OUR BATTLE

If any brother thinks that the Alliance is !
only arra7ed against the bagging trust, and
that when that hatt ,emeut is taken We have
no more t., do, he is sadly misiakHa.- Ours I
is conflict where honest labor'is arr$H
against the inordinate use Of money.
Ab ut 1000 men with $1,000, 900, 900 IL
money are combined against 9a0OQ'000y
people from whom they seek the ,y life
blood And there is only hope fofds when
we take in the situasi,n, count the cost and
make the commitment. There are thou
sand ramparta, Notifications aud towers
that lie teyoud the bagying trust, and con-
front the honest tllers of the soil, and tho
only hope for our future welfare is 10 he
firmly unitcl AID look to the Go above US
and the earth beueath us for our help. Wo
can find the nccessares Of life in the soil, If
we cant fnd all its luxuries. "Let us live At
home aud board at the same place" Let us
be honest, energetic and frugal, and keep
out of debt, and victory will be ours

Unioa at The State Fair.

In years past Union occupied prominent
place upon the roll of officers and the Stock,
Field, Dairy and Household departments Of
the State Fair, and bore off rs many Pre-
miums rs any county in the State, except,
perhaps, Columbia, i'm Richland Co which in
great measure monopolzcd the Ladies de-
pa"tment; but not because the Ladies of that
city were more refined, or could produce
better or more Of the com. .orts, luxuries and
convcnicnccs OF home life but simply be-
cause the Fair and exhibition was at their
doors, and involved no expense, very little
trouble and scarcely any loss of time to place
their handiwork OH exhibition and have it
returned
We regret to sec that Union was so poorly
represented in the exhibitions of the last
Fair, and hope next year will find the good
old county occupying her old and important
position among the officers and exhibitors of
the State Agricultural and Mechanical Soci-
city.
The following are the only names We could
find among the exhibitors, from Union. and
they, it will be seen, took premiums:
lest filly, year old, Henry Black, Barn
we'll, frst j. {. Hunter, Union, second.
lest flly, 3 years old, WIN. Gallman,
Union, first; ID. X. Norris, "endleton, second.
