1t is with sadness that we chronicle
the death of one of Unions landmarks,
Mr.. g. l.. Allen. Mr.. Allen has lived
many years in Union and had large
number Of friends both in town and the
county. He was associated with MI.
w. E. Robinson in the woodworking
and blacksmithing establishment Of

He was coroner of Union county for one
term and has served his town as a men,
Der Of the town council. lie was a good
neighbor, true friend and an industrious
citizen. He was full of patriotism and
took prominent part in the campaign
in 1876. Wen do his many frienss re-
member how he and Mr.. Gerard Bolick
took the little cannon around and helpt d
to make the campaign memorable.
MIR. Allen was seemingly in good
health Sunday morning and he had
walked down to Mr.. Pigler's home
mile from town. Mr.. Pigler is living
it is said in the house in which AIr.
Allen was married, and it is singular
occurrence that his death occurred il the
house in which he was married. Mr..
Allan was GS Years of age. Three young
men are now left to mourn the loss OF
both parents, their mother having died
only few months before the father.
They have our heartfelt sympathies.

Hanes & LipscoInb.

This is the new wholesale firm Just
orentd mp in Union, whose advertise
nent you will find in another place in
this issue. This firm is composed of two
hustling young men both Of whom have
had considerable experience in business
along the line in which they are now
engaged, and we bespeak for them a
liberal patronage from cur merchants
and those of the country surrounding.
MI. l.. j. IIames is too well known in
this town to require much in the way OF
al introduction. He Is we'll known as
hustliDg salesman among our mer-
chants. He came to Union five years
ago and his services were engaged by Mr..
w. ID. Arthur, at that time doing "a
commission business. He has been with
Mr. Arthur ever since in the capacity of
salesman. The growth of Mr.. Arthar's
business has been phenominal, and it is
no doubt i'll part due to the valuable as
| sistance rendered him by Mr.. uames' in
| defatigable push and energy.
Mr. y. T.. LipscOmb, Of Asbary,
Cherokee county, has been IN the com
mission or wholesale business in Union
something over year, and has established
himself in the estimation OF the mer-
chants or the town rs u man of excellent
business qualifications. That he has made
a success of his business is evidenced by
his going in with Mr. Hames to open
up business on much larger scale
necessitating The investment OF consd-
cradle additional capital. We predict that
thtse TWO gentlemen will form a strong
team and will pull we'll i'm harness.
They will carry everything in the grocery
line both heavy and fancy and will make
q speciality of hay and grain. You will
not make mistake by giving thes @
young men liberal share of your patron
| age.

Keep Them i'm Stock.

Coming up town Tuesday evening Mr..
Paul McNally and Mr.. J. A. Brown
stopped to look at the tracks made by
the Automobile. One of Unions up
town merchants exclaimed excitedly.
"Boys you are too late; if you had got
here few minutes sooner you could
have seen the Automobile" Paul Nc
Nally, whose quick wit is always equal
to the occasion, replied Say, is that the
first time you ever saw an Automobile :?
Why we have two down at the Company
store, come down some time and take a
ride.p The merchant was completely
done for, and he replied pretty hotly,
You have nothing of the kind, you
never saw an automobile in your life"
and they had the horse laugh on him.

Go on the Stump.

AS there are quite a number Of can
didates for the tffice Of Mayor of the
town of Union what is the matter with
calling meeting and having each of the
candidates for the position of Mayor
speak at this meeting. Union has got
to be quite city and the office of Mayor
is an important one, and it could do
harm to have candidates for this honor
express themselves before the voters of
the town in regard TO their ideas of the
proper conduct of the Office cf Mayor,
the needs Of the town and the best
methods Of meeting these needs. etc.
1t can do no harm and may do deal of
good. Call the meeting gentlemen, get
on the stump and let us hear from you.

1--WE have done our best, in an ad-
visory way, to furnish relief in all
cases. Under existing laws we have
no fund or appropriation upon which
to draw for the treatment of diseased
animals. | therefore join in the re-
quest of the state dairymen's associa-
ton, also large number of people en-
gagged in cattle and stock raising, and
recommend that law be passed look
inc to the appointment Of state vet
Urinary surgeon.

printed matter of interest and value to
farmers in 1865 county papers, and has
distributed $4,000 copies OF the fertll-
iZer bulletin for the season OF 1899 and
1900.
Commissioner Stevens says
"Instead of an annual for 1900 we
have about completed and ready for
the press a work on Georgia and her
various resources and industries; but
we are holding back until we can get
from the census bureau at Washington
the latest possible statistical informa-
tion on all the industries of the state.
This work will contain, in addition to
a. general description of the state.
chapters on the geology, mineralogy
and soils of Georgia; on the progress OF
agriculture in the state, including all
the crops: discussion of farm life in all
phases, such as truck farming, raising
fruits, berries and melons for the mar
ket and stock raising; on public roads,
railroads and water transportation; on
manufactures, showing the great
growth of these important industries;
on education, benevolent institutions
and religious denominations, and final
| " sketches of the counties, with the
most complete statistical report obtain
able of the varied industries within
the state"
The receipts and expenditures of the
! fertilizer department for the season
of 1S99-l900 were S44, 800 20.
