PREsENTnENT OF GRAND JURY.
TO HIS Honor. Chas. g. DanfzIer,
PresIdinS Judge, June Term of
Court, Union, -. C..

The Grand Jury beg leave to make
the following report:
We have passed upon all bills given
US by the Solicitor, fifteen in all, and
have found true bills in eleven cases.
and no bills in four cases. The
Grand Jury dePlores the fact that
human life is so cheap in our county,
as well as all over the country. Thru 9
murders have been committed ia our
county since last court-an interval
OF only five months. We would be
glad to be able to suggest some plan
by which so much bloodshed could
be prevented. II the handy hiu
pocket pistol could be bauished from
the land, murders would certainly
cease to- a great extent.
We were pleased to report at the
January term of court that the
County Commissioners had erected
several substantial bridges in the
county, but we are sorry to learn
that several Of the bridges have been
carried away by the recent heavy
Hoods. We hope and believe that
the County Commissioners will be
able to meet the condition of affairs
to the best interest for the public
good.
AS we visited the Poorhouse, Jail,
Stockade and Dispensary at the jan
uary term, we deem it unnecessary
to visit these institutions at this
term.
We have appointed q special COM
mittee to examine the books OF all
the county officers during the interim
and will report on their condition ut
the next term of court.
Thanking your Honor and the Sc.
licitor for the courtesies shown us,
We are Respectfully,
w. H. S. HARRIS,
Foreman.

A Big Concern.

Last week we had space to make
but the barest mention of large re-
tail grocery establishment for Union
which is an assured fact. The incor-
porators are Messrs. Macbeth Young
and l.. l.. Wagnon. The concern is
to be stock company divided in
800 shares par value. We under
stand that more than $12 900 has
been already subscribed. 1t is prob
able that handsome store will be
erected on the Young property on
Main street. The store room is to be
50 by 100 feet and three stories high
The second floor upstairs will contain
commodious office rooms for rent,
and the third story will probably be
a large hall, also for rent. Mr.. Wag-
non sold out his business interests

the active ministry, In short while
he developed severe chronic sore
throat. In spite Of continued treat
ment he grew worse and worse. At
last he went to Atlanta and consult.
ed DIR. Calhoun, the famous throat
specialist. DR.. Calhoun held oat no
hope for a permanent cure except
upon condition that he leave the
ministry. This Mr., Wagnon has de-
cided upon. Mr.. Young is Mayor OF
Union, and has been for many years
a prominent merchant here, doing a
large grocery business. The new
concern will start out with bright
prospects and promises a large sue.

II hesitated for time, dislikng the
idea of having to give up my coffee,
