TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
HAyIs GRAHAM.

Once more has the grim monster death
laid his cold hand on o home in Union.
There is a vacant chair around the hearth
stone. There is q mothers aching heart;
her boy has left her never more to return.
Mr.. llavis Graham, second son Of Mrs.
Thomas lIames, nee Mrs. Graham, died at
his home in Union on Thursday afternoon
about clock, after painful and wasting
illness Of some three weeks. He was 10 his
18th year. His mother was away when he
took sick, but he would not call her home
from the enjoyment of her visit. He loved
his mother, and gave her implicit obedience.
He joined the Methodist church under MIR.
Walter |. Herbert, aud later professed
religion. He said that willie he would like
to live and grow UP TO manhood, he was at
the same time ready to die aud thought he
was prepared to meet his Saviour. lie was
a pleasant companion, aud he will be missed
by the young men Of town. While we all
recognize the heavy burden that has been
placed on the mother and family, and deeply
sympaihize with them in their sad bereave-
ment, we sincerely trust that their loss will
be his eternal gain, and that he has gone TO
a better land than ours to await their
coming. \ FRIEND.

would be beneficial; Spartanburg and Union
counties have especial need of it.
High winds are reported from Kershaw
county with some damage to cotton and
corn.
Cotton picking has become general over
the entire State, and was favored by the hot,
dry weather which permitted uninterrupted
labor, as well as causing tho bolls to open

disappointing and the general opinion o!
correspondents is, for causes already stated.
the crop will not come up to the early esti-
mates. In addition to the reports of she'd

weddIng BELLS.

We had very pretty wedding in town
last Tuesd,y night, Mr. d. J. Gregory, of
this county. led to the IIymcnial altar the
beautiful, well-knosn aud highly esteemed
Mrs Cora Counts, eldest daughter of Mr..
F. IL. Counts. The wedding took pace at
the residence of Mr. Counts and was wit
messed by as many friends as could comfort
ably get into one room. At eight o'clock
most of the guests had arrived and were
patiently awaiting the ceremonies. II was
not long. The minister went out and stayed
a little while and then came back expecting,
as we suppose to be followed by the bride
and groom, for he stood up in the middle Of
the floor and watched and wai'cd in silence.
he went agaip and returning he was follow
cd by Mr.. Gregory, tall and manly looking,
dressed in black Prince Albert, and bear
ing on his arm Miss Cora Counts, charmingly
attired in white brocade silk, with white
gloves and slippers. Rev. J. n. Booth ad-
ministercd the VOWS in short but impress
siye manner. Then for a short while con-
gratulations and merry voices and laughter
filed the air. How long that would have
continued We do not know, we only know
that it stopped when supper was announced.
Ice cream and cake was more substantial
than wit aud humor.
After partaking Of the elegant refresh.
ments the guests again repaired to the parlor
where The remainder yf the evening was
spent in pleasant Compensation.
To the happy couple the TINES extends
congratulations and best wishes for long
aud happy life.

We are glad to note that the Memphis
grand jury is doing it. duty i'll the case of
the lynchng Of the six negroes 1t was an
Outrage on humanity, and the law needs to
be vindicated by the punishment of the
offenders. Truo bills have been found
against several of the lynchers, and more
will follow. Lynchng is getting to be too
C .n,mon. There are few cases in which
lynchisg isjustifyablc. and this was not one
Of them. We hope the offenders will be
punished, and that the court and all our
courts will take firm stand against mob
law and brutality.

TnE Concert given by tho Ladies of the
Episcopal church on last Tuesday night in
Nicholson's Hall, was most enjoyable
affair The music was under the direction
of Miss Sallic Munro, who arranged a mos /
appropriate program which was admirably
rendered.
The Violin Solos of Miss Ford were Of that
order of music which is rarely heard in
Union, which was fully shown by her
being encorcd again and again Miss Ford is
certainly Master Of the Voilin aud We
predict great success for her in the Musical
world.
Mrs. Fords Piano Solos were greatly ad-
mired and were productive Of most hearty
encore each time she performed.
Miss Elizabeth Grimbalrs recitations
were far above the ones usually rendered on
the Southern Stage and showed with what
careful appreciation she has pursued the
study Of Eocution. She was several times
Encorcd, and finally brought down the house
on Total AnnihilatioD," which was not Of
as high order Of recitation as her other
pieces, yet the nature of the piece was 80
admirably brought out as to make perfect
hit
The singing Of the Quartette was very
much enjoyed and was far above what il
usually does. The Concert was a grand sue
cess and we hope the dose will soon be
repeated. b

Good Roads.

Good roads are almost in sight. Scarcely

the way, for activity and enterprise in all
things looking TO the good Of the country,

beat. There is less of sordid littleness here
than any place we know Of. We are just
emerging from that long Ie,hsrgy into which
the South was thrown by the late war, we
are just finding out what we can do by work
ing together.
Our county recognizing the material ad-
vantage of good roads to both country and
town has sent Mr.. Welch, nominee for the
| Legislature, to the convention which met at
Charlotte on the 18th, about which We had
| something to say in our last issue, to look at
the Mecklenburg roads, examine their laws
| methods of work, etc, 10 attend the conveu-
ton in fact, and report to US.
We comm end the action of our people and
| think they have selected good man to rep
resent us. Besides being a capable aud
| practical business man, he will also be 9
member of the next Legislature, ant
by his personal knowledge of Tho
Mecklenburg system, he will be better
| equipped to press our desires before tn,
Legislature for better aud more
efficient road law for Union County. HI
will no doubt have sYme glowing. things Il
say about good roads when he gets back
We hope to have q report from the Conven

L :s related of John Jacob Astor that
when quite an old man he asked friend
one day if he would like 10 take hold of
his estate aud manage it for him, telling
him that his own health required that he
rest awhile. why yes" replied the friend
IL will gladly" What will you charge ne -
queried Astor. "Well, hardly know"
"Will you do it for your victuals and
clothes?" "No" Indignantly "why
that's all get out Of it," said Astor.
That was in n certain sense true aud if
the great masses Of humanity could realize
the craze for money, the oppression of the
poor, the inoriinate love Of gain, the ambi
ton TO RUE, that is causing so much suffer
ing so many strikes, so much strife. We
have forgotten that sufficient uuto the day
is The evil thereof We have forgotten the
story Of the man whose barns were full to
overHowing. We have forgotten the story
Of the rich man and Lazarus. All that we
can get out of this life is food and raiment
| and what good We do. Yes, but we want money
as an assurance oil tnat 1000 anu rAlment
and to DO good with some one has said. 1t
that were our object then it might not be
true that "the love Of money is q root of all
| evil" With most of US the desire for
wealth is simply ambition for power, and 1t
| is too often the destruction Of character in
whatever sphere it finds expression. Very
| few il any in the South are afflicted with too
| much wealth-noDc lu Union county. we
| DO not A.vn what it is or what its power.
Confronted with the figures expressing the
wealth Of the Astors or the Vanderbilts or
| Rockefeller our minds reel and st,gger and
fail to take them in. With that wealth goes
power, sometimes for good, too often for
| evil-the power to control votes and make
men forget their own interest, the power to
control Legislation and make men forget the
greatest duty of q legislator, faith to con-
stituents, the power to make too many of
us forget the first duty Of man. May we
grow in wealth aud power, as the years go
By, but may it not be that one shall have all
and the balance noue.
