The MYSTIC VEIL PULLED ASIDE
BY Mrs. X. II. Ward.
FORECAST FOR UNION TOWN AND
COUNTY.


COUNTY.
The general outlook for the town of
Union and county is not very favor.
able for this year, 1908, as it appears
to me at present. The crops will be
considerably damaged by wind and
rain; the fruit will be cut off; there
will be fairly good crops of corn made;
grain will be better than cotton; cot.
ton will be damaged in some way; the
safest crop for this year will be grain.
The entire crop season will be under
some difficult condition most of the
season.
l see for your town strange and
unexpected happening, seems like
murder, death or tragedy. 1t may
come the latter part of this year. q
sincerely hope it may not occur at all.)
Now as to the financial conditions for
the beautiful sunny town of Union /:
There will be some new enterprises,
some failures among some old business
concerns but I gee more good than
evil for Union. Some of the busine ss
concerns which are now in some way
distressed over money matters will
straighten up and 60 on successfully
Your milling conditions will not be
so good there seems to me some trouble
in or about the mill district that will
not be favorable. There will quite
likely come to your town or county
some new settlers who will add to the
growth and development. They may
bring some new industries I see
condition like that but 1 cannot get it
quite clear. There will at no distant
day be discovered in the County of
Union, S. c., some very valuable ore
that will in time make Uuion County
people very rich at no very distant day
as write appear to see some activi.
ty among the people and there ap.
pears to be q great amount of gold.
1t may be mine of gold; it also
seems to be near q stream of water.
In time to come tho County of Union
will surely be a seat of success and
prosperity. This last statement does
not apply to this year, 1908, a!oae
but I do feel that some intestigations
this year will lead to this great dis
covery.
There will be some office made va
cant this'year by death or failing
health. There will be good deal Of
sickness in the town and county from
fever and some rather contagious dis,
ease but not a great many deaths, in
fact the death rate from disease will
be very much less than usual. The
people of Union will do we'll to watch
the weather predictions of some good
astrologer, such as Irl r. Hicks, he is
very accurate in his weather forecasts,
as this will be year of much electri-
cal disturbances; there may be many
heavy storms, much wind and water.
Now allow me to say few words to
the wise regarding the coming Presi.
dental election. My view is Demo.
cratic, yet feel there are some planks
in the Republican platform that are
very good and will be and is now
good for our country, yet see Dam.
ocrat written everywhere. 1 fear
there will be some very unpleasant
events in the coming times. In
vision of which I will give you few
words I saw for our country anarch.
lists. I saw in one part Of the vision
the fires great fire, I saw money
burning up. I then saw the treasury
at Washington, on fire, it is set on
fire by a very treacherous hand. /
have very grave fears for our country.
There appears to me some dark deeds.
/ only hope my vision may prove un.
true and my fears unfounded. There
may be very large and destructive
fires in many places. There seems to
be general wave of evil, and our
people will have t, fight hard to over.
come same. AS / see it, it is not
negroes but white men who will do
much harm to public buildings in
many places, 1 have for some time
been seeing fires in the White House.
vere6ed few days ago by small
blaze but this is not all.
NV fire guide tells me thero are
some fires for Union, not of great
amount of damage if care is exercised.
