MR. EDIToR.-Your very efficient cores
| pondent "Seaton" has left Jsnesville, and
gonc to our neighboring town, Paeoist, so
| will try and give the TINES some of the
news of our town and community.
But little has been done yet by the farm
/ er., as tho weather and Iouds have both
been bad for farm work. see some oot-
ton yet in the field, but think most of the
sone somewhere.
The Rev. C. r. Willeford has moved from
our town to SAntuc, as most Of his work is
near that place. Mr.. Willeford was with us
two years as a minister, and VA: very much
liked by all the people. lie also brought
| 10 = better-half last Fall, which was a COED
addition to eur town; so we regret very
much to give them up. Santuc will find in
! them social, enterprising young couple.
Miss Florence Boyd, daughter Of Rer.
D. P. Boyd, has been greatly afflicted for
some time. She has been In bed over nine
woeks, with but little or no improvement
yet. The family certainly deserve the
prayers and sympathy Of the community.
Our school, under the superior manage
msnt Of Mr.. Joseph vonable, with = Board
| Of eight Trustees to back him, is doing well,
numbering about sixty scholars, several Of
whom are grswn young men and young
| ladies. Miss Lizzie Venable, q daughter Of
| the Principal, is prepared TO give music, in
connection with the day school, or other
wise, and as board can be obtained in NEST
| Of the families Of our town on very reason
| able terms, with tuition very low, we hope
and expect to build up one of the best
| schools in the country. To this end We
invite patronage.
Mr.. Sam Littlejohn and commercial
| traveller by the name Of Berry, had little
| unpleasaniness in our town last week. 1t
| seems that they thought their proceedings
were ugly and desisted. Sam had con-
sidsrably the avoirdupois on the drummer,
the same ratio or not remains yet TO be
solved, rs they did not proceed far enough
to decide that question.
Mr.. II. w. Scott has been appointed by
the Governor Trial Justice. Wat says he
is going to make everybody pay their debts
and marry all the young folks that will give
him chance.
By the way, read the extract Of the late
Trial Justice law for Union County in your
last weeks issue. Now Amt it retrensh-
ment with vengeance.
Our law makers, or maj ority Of them
are willing to give our circuit Judge thirty
FIVE hundred dsllars year, while they
whittls down the salaries Of eleven Trial
Justices for Union county to Two hundred
and seventy five dollars. 1 don't like to
use slang, but | must say, amt that claw
upon knot.

A Vita, al,Question.

n vttaltQuesuon.
In another column will DO found Q very
sensible article under the above heading,
which wo take from the Chester Reporter,
but is equally applicable to this town, and
We call the special attention Of our citizens
to its very practical and timely points and
suggestions.
To-day Union is in the same condition as
Chester, in regard to the liquor and bsrreom
question. We have tried the local option
plan Of suppressing the sale Of whiskey, for
four years, and i. proved an unblushing
failure. We have now high licensed bar
rooms, and while we do not think they will
increase the use and eale Of whiskey or
cause more drunkenness than the "drug
already heard, the barroom keepers seem to
think their license gives them the right or
privilege to openly ignore any respect for
tho opinions and feelings Of tho moral and
Christian people of the community, and to
defy the law governing their peculiar busi-
ness, by keeping their doors open aud doing
business during the Sabbath day.
People may argue in favor Of barrooms
and the sale Of whiskey as much and as
long as they please, but If there is more
demoraliziug and law-defying business than
selling whiskey We do not know it. We
care not what restrictions the law may throw
around its, licensed sale, or what penalties
it may infict for the Illicit sale Of it, most
Of those who engage in tho business, legally
or illegally, eoutrive to oircumvent the re-
stric.ions, defy the law and it's penalties,
and disregard all moral restraints.
1t does seem 10 us that decent respect
for the feelings and opinion, Of the Chris
tiau people and the acknowledged custom Of
the community, together with that high COM
mandmsnt of God-"Rsmsmber the Sabbath
day, to ksepi Holy"-would be sufficient
to induce, not only saloon.ksepers but all
others, to at least keep the front doors of
their places Of business on Main street closed
on that day; and at the same time demand
of the authorities Of the town proper vigi-
lance to stop such unseemly and hagrsnt
desecration.

Who HAvR Cor THE MoNsY.-The At
lanta Constitution presents a truly dismaI
picture Of the condition Of the farmers OF
Georgia, who have "mads nearly one
thousand million dollars worth Of cotton
since 1865" but who, there 10 every rsassn
to believe, are growing poorer steadily,
while, out Of the enormous wealth they
have created, others have been growing
richer. The COnshtution is satisfied that
"there is something wrong, and well it
may be when it states that it is estimated
that one-third Of tho farms in Georgia are
under mortgage, and the farmers Of the
State are paying about s., 10000 annually
rs interest TO absentee mortgage holders
The Constitution says truly that there is no
cause for the depression in either the soil
or the climate Of the State and adds:
eve shall bond our energies to hnd out
just where the trouble lies. 1t may be in
the pitching Of the crops, or in the lack Of
near markets, farm economy or personal
supervision. 1t may rest in the relation Of
the farmer TO the State or National Govern
ment. II may rest in the relation Of the
farmer to the merchant or to the railroads.
Wherever it is, the Constitution is going to
find it ifit can be found"

TAKING TnB BARK ORA reporter for

min Thursday il there were any new devel-
opments in the all-engrossing question Of
ramie culture and deeorticatien.

the company in New York fer manufsctur-

the matter had progressed vesy sstisfao-
torily.
"But," said he, "I have been surprised
to learn the extent Of ramis culture in the
South, started probably some years ago
when the newspapers got up nm excitement
over tho opportunity for q new Southern

southern Indiana, small lake is burning,
emitting peculiar sulphuric odor. The
community is excited, and those living near
the lake are preparing to leave the place.
The lake is about half mile in in oircum-
ference. FIRE covers the eastern surface
with steady blaze six inches in height. No
smoke is perceptible. Several theories arc
suggested, the most plausible Of which is
that vein of oil near the surface burst un-
der the pond and the oil rose to the surface
where it was set on fire by spark from o
burning heap, and that rs the oil continues
to rise it keeps burning upon the surface.
