school children Of the United States. Inter
esiing exercises may be expected in every
section of The country, AMI the teachers of
Union County at The recent session of iLeir

the school children of Union County should
have place in the picture. A definite pro-

be looked for in due season.
AS chairman Of the committee appointed
by the County Teachers Association, to take
the matter in hand, the writer would call the
attention cf all the teachers IN the county TO
the proposed Columbus Day celebration.
The committee hopes by the 9th instant, to
be prepared to give definite shape to the
celebration, as far as Union County is con-
cerncd, and invites correspondence from all
teachers who feel disposed to share in q
pleasant, profitable, educating, and withal
inexpensive, deI arture fom the regu az rou-
tine and monotony Of school life.
Teachers whose schools are not now in
session, as we'll rs parents and friends of
education generally, are asked TO give this
subject their attention, so that they may aid
later on in making grand demonstration;
as that day will make healthful and help
ful impression on the whole county.

EsiS" If our farmers could get fair price
for cotton this year they woull be in bette
financial condition than for years before
Their crops have bee, made at much less
outlay of money than any year since the
war. They have been more economical in
home and farm expenses. apd have stesred
as clear of debt as they possibly could, while
as general thing they will have on hand
almost enough home raised supplies, for
family and stock, TO last them through next
year.
In some sections Of the county. however,
these conditions may not be so favorable, in
consequence Of adverse seasons, but the
aggregate production of corn, wheat, s,r-
ghum, oats, hay, ETC., in this County, we are
told, is sufficient for the wants Of all; and
here, iu our opinion, should come in the true
beneficial work Of Lhe Alli1ncc, for the social
and financial advantage Of the Farmers.
We were told before the election that it
was known how nearly every member of
the Alliance would vote, and the result cor
roborated the statement. Now. why cannot
the same canvas be made to find out who has
more corn, wheat, ETC., than he will need
next year, aud an arrangement made through
the Alliance to distribute the surplus among
the less fortunate members, at certain pri-
ces, for cash, or on credit under proper
security? Or, what would pc more practl-
cable and satisfactory. perhaps, why not PIT
fair price on those articles and let il be
known through the Alliance what Farmers
have them for sale, at those pricess
In that way the Alliance could be made
sourse of immense good TO its poor or more
unfortunate members as well as open home

Htaa- The third partyitcs of this State have
a flexible political creed as well rs demand
ing flexible currency. They ere State
democrats and National thirdpartyits, and
with the same propriety they can have one
creed for the township aud an other for the
county. one for the County and another for
the State. Laying aside all party allegiance,
it will be easy for them 70 make the school
interest of the township the county govern
mcnt, State taxation, separate questions
upon which to base their political belief
establish separate political organizations and
put candidates in the field for their votes.
From Weaver for President, down to town
ship school Trustees, they may hatch out a
mongrel Irolitical monstrosity that would
defy the most flexible minded political dem
agogue to show its origin or explain the mys-
teries and complications of its many-sided
make ur.
1T would mystify and thereby captivate
thousands Of untbiuking, restless, dissatis-
fed and carping individuals, but it will not
deceive men who think for themselves and
desire the good Of all without prejudice or
envy toward any.

TnE Poor ON WEAyER.-The Pulaski
Democrat publishes the following leaf ffosn
J. b. Weaver's war record:
General Weaver, while in command ut
Pulaski. in January, 1864, issued an order
10 Charles e. Alternately, John ii. Newhill,
Robert Rhodes and others, that they pay
into his hands 81 900 for the maintenance of
refugees (meaning negroes aud renegades
from Alabams.) This order was accomPa-
MED by the th,ea that ii the money was not
paid they aud their families would be sent
South and their property given to said refd-
gees. tAll of these parties are dead now,
/ and were over GO years cid when that order
was issued. Can any Southern man vote
for such heartless wretch?
A man by the name of CIV. Witt sold Mr.
Jasper Cox, q very poor man, two thousand
pounds of bacon, for which he received the
cash. Mr.. Cox took the bacon to the cotton
mills in Lawrence county and traded 1t for
cotton twist This he carefully slowed
away in the loft of his little cabin, think
ing it would assist him in purchasing little
homo after the war, rs he was very poor,
with large family, and had no home.
Weaver learned through some source that
this gentleman had the cotton twist and
sent q detachment Of soldiers 10 his home
aud took possession Of it, and shipped it to
The cotton twist was worth at the time it
was stolen $4,000.
Jasper Cox is living in Giles county.
John p. Williams, q poor but highly
respected farmer in Giles county, hat
twenty five fat hogs, which at the time were
worth $40 per hundred, gross, and lot o
turkeys Weaver in person took file o
soldiers into Williams place and made tn
soldiers shoot every hog on the place an'
had them brought into camp When Will
= 1iems asked for u voucher Weaver said :"
DON'T give rebels in tho South voucher
would rather furnish rope t, hang ever.
d-n one of them" Mr.. Williams is still
living and will swoar to tho above if neces
sary.
The hogs were valued at $3.50.
The turkeys belonged TO Mrs. Williams
and she begged to have them spared, but tn
heartless wretch had them all killed ant
taken to headquarters for his own specia
use, remarkipg to Mrs. Williams that sh
had no business being the wife of a rebel.
Weaver made a practice to charge our citi
zens 10 cents each for passes to come int
and 60 out Of the federal lines. This none
he put into his own pockets. This pms
reads as follows:
