Boil Weevil In Union,

Editor UNION TD'Es: If the old
Solomon of Biblical day could be resur-
rected and permitted to vote in the COM
ing Union County election, no doubt
but n. would in his wisdom brush the
boil weevil from his ballot with the an
tlcipati"n of reducing taxation, and save
the old County from shameful bank
rupt. We have heard of the boil weeyil
in the far off fields of Texas with all Of
its devastations which have been 50 COM
p!ete that immigration from that fertile
soil is seemingly inevitable. Would the
people of this county believe that our
county government Office has been in
hablted by pair Of these seemingly in
domitable weevils who have deposited
eggs in different sections of the county.
from which the county pets are being
Matched. Are we going to act like
Texas, sit still and see the multiple ,tion
of the most detrimental foe that civiiZ.-
ever had to contend with, and lastly,
when too late, Call on the national gov
ernment for remedy to exterminat the
wcevil that we SO careessly have per-
mitted to generate in our county govern
ment office. Slow confiscation is the
definition of our modern weevil. But
give them few more years and they
will give US duplication of desolations
that the people of Texas have already
experienced. A word to the wise is suf-
ficient. All mon nh, work for the
county are ut Considered pets Plenty
OF these men earn every dollar they get.
The real pet is long tried snipe who
accepts the peoples money from the
boil weevil without giving any thing in
return, only to whoop up the weevils on
election years, aud who believe that the
county government Office is a charitable
institution for tber benefit. Wipe the
boil weevil from your ballot as Solomon
would do and let those long tried snipes
go to work or emigrate to some other
land. After looking over several
charges booked against L. NJ. Mobley, I
will give to the people one nearest to his
home and one that his neighbors are fa-
mliar with. On one occasion Beaty's
bridge was in need of repairs. Mobl ey.
the boil weevil county commissioner,
was honored to let the job to the lowest
bidder. He was on the ground with his
gold standard specification, which read
no lumber could be used on the job ex-
cept first class heart fine from the p;ney
woods. When the bidding was on, Mr..
VIM. Wilson asked Mr.. Moblev would
he not accept Of white or post oak lum-
Der. Mr.. Mobley replied that nothing
but specification would be accepted. To
the surprise of all who were present,
Mr.. Mobley sawed and delivered oak lnm-
Der for the job, and same was used on
the bridge. Reference, Mr.. VIM. Will
son and Mr.. w. N. Brock aud others.

in LOVING REMEMBRANCE
of Mrs. M. A. E. Goforth, Who De-
parted This Life Aug. s, 1904.

another flower has been plucked
from the garden of humanity and
transplanted in the land of bliss and
eternal happiness, where the light of
Gods radiant countenance shines
forever and no storms and winds
rage; to be watched over and pro-
tected by Him who is ever ready to
bestow eternal blessings upon those
whom He loved and shed His precious
blood.
In this death God has called hence
forth one Of His most precious gifts
to this world-a pure, sweet, noble
woman-one who was loved by all
who knew her, and many are the
hearts that are wounded by her un-
timely demise. She was a devout
christian. a loving and devoted
mother and kind and thoughtful
friend. Her life was filled with kind
and noble acts, and during her every
day walk in life her footsteps were
guided by the Star OF Bethlehem.
1t is indeed sad to part with one
whom we loved so dear, but it is a
sweet consolation to know that our
loss is her eternal gain.
Having experienced just such a
loss it Is with heart full of emotion
that we deeply sympathize with the
dear children and loved ones left be-
hind to be guided and protected by
the immaculate Judge, whose wise
counsel and unerring decision is al
ways right.
Her heart went out in deep sympa-
thy to motherless child, and oftimes
a kind word from her changed the
course Of thoughtless wanderer.
In an effort to express my grief and
sorrow for the loss of such true and
devoted friend words fail to respond
and silence begs for thought,
May the sorrowing children left
behind be guided in the footsteps of
her teachings and then all will be
reunited at the glorious reunion which
is to come in brighter world.
The nights were blessed with quiet sleep,
The days were filled with happy cares,
And then the skies seemed ever blue.
And there was time for peace end PRAYERS
Now stand and gaze with heavy heart,
Across the area in longing sore
To where dear mothers await their loved onos
From tho bright and welcomed door.
A DEVOTED FRIEND.

County of Union,
Personally comes r.. A. Phillips on
oath and says That l M. Mobley, one Of
the County Commissioners of Union
County, appointed as oversear on one of
The public roads in Goshen Hill Town
ship negro, Henry Rice; that several
white men were subject to road duty on
the said road, and if they had have per-
formed their duty would have had to be
bossed and looked after by the negro
overseer; that the white men who were
subject to work this road refused to
work on account of the negro being ap-
pointed over-seer: that deponent tried to
persuade Commissioner Moblev to ap-
point Robert Wilson, a worthy. respect
able, white gentlemen, as over seer Of
said road hut he refused to do 80, and
instead appointed the said negro Rice.
