are informed that at the campaign
meeting at Putnam's, on Tuesday last,
the congregation of Putnam's realized
S1OO from their barbecue and picnic,
which they gave for the benefit of the
church. We like to see the churches
improved and prosper but this is a
day for broad, liberal catholicity of
opinion among the churches and its
members. ....'.Miss Ella Davidson, of
Yorkville, is here visiting relatives.
Miss Davidson returned home from
China a few months ago where she
has been for seven years past a mis-

Minter Bobo was in Union last week
and raised enough money by subscrip-
ton to build telephone line to Cross
Keys and there connect with one that
runs to Enoree. Mr.. Boho deserves
the thanks of the town of Union and
the people of Sedalia and Cross Keys
for this Improvement. We think The
Times first suggested this improve
ment. When it is completed the peo-
pie in Union can converse with the
people of the Piedmont section. '''''''''
Miss Mabel O'Neale having resigned
her position as teacher at the graded
school, an election was held by the
board of trustees on Monday after
noon, at which Miss Withers was elect
ed to fill Miss O'Neale's place, and
Miss Jennie Hamilton was chosen to
fill the position held by Miss Withers.
We hope and believe the selections
will prove to be good ones. '''''''''
Greene's excursion was a success in
every respect. Only one man killed.
He was killed by the train just this
side of Spsrtanburg, and was not an
excursionist. We are Informed that
the usual amount of fighting, rowdy-
ism, drinking, etc., was prevalent, and
that most of the excursionists are
happy to be back alive and sound.
1t is very much like going to circus.
You pay your money and you see the
animals. If few of these rowdies
were hung to the rear end of a coach
it would add very much to the pleas
ure of decent excursionists.
