In Spartanbur5.

We had occasion one day this week &c
go NY to Spar anbrrg. After having
maAe onr titles clear to the health officer
we Wee allowed to enter the forbidden
city. Upon approaching the city We
We're struck with the improved appear.
anc. If this side Of the town. We
noticed that IL large number of new
buildings had been erected since last we
Were there, and they add materially tC
the former appearance of this end of
towu. We noticed that there were
Several vacant store houses for rent. but
This Is possibly accounted for by the fact
that quite number OF new stores have
been huilt recently, and the merchants
can, tJ S0pG extent, take choice of store
rooms We found none of those that
might be styled desirable and tirst-class,
vacant. While it was rather dull day
for trade, the merchants seemed to All
be doing some business.
Ne we're also struck with the hand
some and commodlous street cars rs they
sped 10y every few minutes. We had an
ipcina'ion u take Il ride to Glendale
and Clifton, but after consulting tue
conductor aud our watch we found our
limited time would not allow it. But
we expect to take Il ride next time we
60. The street cars give Spartanburg
quite the appearance of an up-to-date
city. The sight made US wish our street
car company would hurry up and get
Unions cars running.
There has been SO much moving around
since we We're last in SparLanhurg that
we had some difficulty in locating some
Of ON acquaintances and friends.
We had very pleasant chat with
Editor Henry of that spicy sheet, the
Daily Journal. Mr.. Henry showed us
around the Office. His big cylinder press
was rapidly turning out the first Iun of
the Journal. The Free Lance is now
published in the same office, and TIE
whole force is kept as busy as bees in !,
tar bucket, but they are getting there
just the same.
1t was also our pleasure to meet Mr..
Stoppelbein, the affable, courteous and
hustling editor of the TRUTH" in his
office. They are in a large and comlno.
diOus building, and are somewhat at a
disadvantage for the present on account
of preparations being made to pat in stee'
ceiling, partitions, and putting UP new
presses for the general Publishing busi-
ness they propose doing. When they
get the house fixed, new glass front in,
presses in place, linotype machines up
and everything arranged they will have
one of the most handsome offices in town.

Turned on the Lights.

On Monday night the commissioners
ordered that the electric lia,hts burn all
night. In behalf Of the citizens of the
town and especially those who are COM
PEELED to rise early, we thank the com-
missioners for this action upon their part,
and trust that the extra remuneration
from additional subscribers will over
balance any extra expense the burning
Of the lights all night have incurred.
We hear nothing but expressions COM
mending the commissioners for this ac.
tion. While weare about it We will say
that the Union street lights are not sur
passed anywhere. This was brought
forcibly TO our attention when we were
in Spartanburg this week, and while
Spartanburg is said to have very fine
system of lights we do not think the
street lights compare with cur brilliant
arc lamps.

Wonderful Exhibition
of Brute Intelligence.

Prof. w. A. Meehan, the famous dog
trainer, gave three exhibitions in Union
last week with his thirteen trained dogs
A free show was given in the streets in
which the two grey hounds, Mark and
Fly, were made to do some astonishing
leaping. They leapeda Il distance of some
30 feet clearing an obstacle IL feet high
This was astonishing to our citizens, but
it was only small sample OF the aston
ishing performance of the dogs upon the
stage. We can safely say that no such
exhibition of brute intelligence was ever
witnessed in the city before. The dogs
were made to do almost everything ex-
cept talk, aud they went SO far as to
work their mouths as if endeavoring to
speak to the professor. We do not mind
giving credit when credit is due, and we
confess that we have never seen any
thing to equal this dog show. Prof
Meehan has been training dogs since he
was six years old, and he has gotten it
down fine. To give briefly an idea of
how the dogs performed. Two dogs
represented Fitzsimmons and Jeffries,
wore boxing gloves, and fought three
rounds as natural as the professionals
they represented, even included the
Knockout blow. The referee was shot,
the murderer, was hunted down and
hanged, the scaffold being built by the
dogs. A hearse was used and funeral
procession followed the remains. Mrs.
end Mr.. Mallory comes in rolling their
baby in the carriage, take seats and
spend pleasant evening, while another
dog rolls the baby about in the fresh air.
There were three clown dogs that kept
the house in roar. The dogs walked
about on their hind feet as natural as
folks, one dog made several circles around
the stage with hind and front foot off
the same side clear off the floor. The
acrobatie dog, Dan, is wonder, and
turns backwards lighting on his hind
feet with ferfect ease. The dogs all
know their names and seem to thoroughly
understand every word spoken to them.
They showed to a very good business
here, and we can say that those who
tAled TO re the show taisssd treat.

The Boston Pupils Respond.

The readers will remember that some
weeks ago the pupils of the Union
Graded School wrote several letters to
the pupils of one of the graded schools
Of Boston, Mass, regarding the culture
and manufacture of cotton. The pupils
of the sixth grade in the Bunker Hill
Grammar School have replied to those
letters, describing their school and some
scraps Of history connected with the site
upon which the school is built. We re-
publish one of the letters which will be
read with interest by many of our read
ers. These children use the verticle
style in writing and some of them write
beautifully. Some of the young writers
are anxious to learn something of the
growing of rice. The following is a
letter to Master Ben Arthur from Master
John Canty.

eSting letter about cotton, was very

The American soldiers marched over
the spot where our school house now
stands. The Bunker Hill monument is
located on a hill in Charlestown, known
as Breeds Hill. 1t is sixty feet in height
from the level Of the sea. 1t was erected
in memory of the battle of Bunker Hill,
which was fought there June II, 1875.
1t was begun in 1926 and finished in
1912. 1t is two hundred and twenty one
feet in height The shape is like an
obelisk. Il has two hundred and ninety
five stone steps winding round hollow
cone leading up to the top. Up at the
top Of the monument is little room
known as the observatory, which has
four windows, one at each side. One
can have fine view of Boston harbor
and the surrounding country. There
are four flights of stone steps leading up
10 the grounds. Around the monument
are concrete walks, so that the people
will not step on the grass. Bre-d Hill
was lrveled so that the monument could
be built. 1T IS beautiful grassy hill.
There are many tablets around the mon
ument, some show. where the earth was
thrown up. one marks the spot where
Gen. Warren fell Others mark the
spot where different officers fell. In

gineer will return from Cheyenne and
