When Elizabeth Patterson Bona

Icons brother and grandmother OF
our present Secretary OF the Navy,
returned to her native country to
make it her shomc, she signalizcd
by one characteristic act her fare
well to the elegance and taste of the
gay European capitals in which, if
never recognized as a'royal princess,
she had always, with her flashing
wit and extraordinary beauty,
rcigned as a social queen.
She bought in Paris quantities of
rich clothing of all kinds, and cs-
pccially twelve Incompatible bon
nets, which she declared were to
last her for the rest of her life.
They did not do so--at least the
bonnets did not-because she lived
to be nincty-four, and wore them
in all weathers; but as long as they
lasted she donncd them faithfully,
untroubled by changes in the fash
ion.
She was long familiar to Nthe eyes
of her fellow citizens as the most
picturesque and interesting of old
ladies, with wonderful eyes Scarcely
dimmcd, and aged featur4 still
bearing traces of unusual bfauty,
quantity framed by the poke brim
and curling features of some Vnc of
the famous dozen bonnets.

UNIONS COTTON MARKET,

II is not our purpose to drive
away cotton from this place, but on
the contrary to bring it here by
having our buyers to pay rs much
as is paid Mt other places. and we
can see no reason why this is not
done. Two weeks ago it was an
nounccd that the buyers here or
rather that the president of Monarch
mills would pay the best prices for
cotton. That same week TIE
TIMES showed 10y Il comparison of
prices paid here and at the surroud-
iny towns that this was not the case,
Union being below in price l-li to
IL of cent lower than Carlisle and
other towns. Whitmirc that week
paid lO.35 and 1870 while Union
only paid 10. We have given Union
and the president OF Monarch mills
il whole week to make good the as
scrtion that the best prices would
bc paid for cotton at this place.
The following will show whether or
not this has been done. JUncSvillc
paid il cents from Monday until
Saturday at II O'Clock it went down
to 10 81, and this price was paid
up to Thursday. Union paid II
cents Monday, Tuesday 10 81,
Wednesday 10 ~, Jonesvillc IL
cmt above. Whitmirc paid last
week II. % and II. 20 while Union
was paying only l cents, Newbcrry
10 81, Spartanburg 1877 -,
Union higher than Spartanburg and
Ncwberry. Carlisle paid ! cents
last week; this week, Monday II,
Tuesday 10 81, Wednesday 10 5-S.
The farmers are never fooled
about the price of cotton and gen
orally go where they can get the
best prices. 1t is no induccmcnt
for farmer who lives nearer Jones'
Vile, Santuc, Carlisle or Whitmirc
to como to Union and get no more
for cotton than they could get at
the pearcr places, and when by
going to either Of the other places
they get ulorc. WHO is to blame?
