UNION LOSES GOOD CITIZENS.
MIR. A. P. H. Walker and Family Go to
Tennessee,

Mr.. A. P. H. Walker and
family have gone to Spring City,
Tennessee. Mr.. Walker has lived
in Union a TfUmber of years and
is well known and liked by the
people. He was for years the
head bookkeeper for the firm of
Foster and Wilkins. After sever
ing his connection with this firm
he went ia Missouri and engaged
in stoS s Ssing. For the past
ars he has lived here and
was the first bookkeeper for the
Union cotton mills, retaining that
position up to the time of the re-
organization of the mill company
q few months ago. In Tennessee
he will engage in the lumber,
coal and lime business, giving
some of his attention to stock
dealing. That portion of the
State to which he has gone is
very fertile and abounds in coal
and iron mines. We wish for
him the success in his new home
that a good citizen and business
man deserves. He and family
are quite popular here and will
be greatly missed in the social
and business circles of Union.

Commercial NadChiaVelIdniSm and It's
Cure.

There has been a good deal
said lately about Business is

MEANS" the battle to the
strong" and all that sort of talk.
1t is likely that few have realized
how far this dangerous spirit has
been carrying us-not in the
business world only, but in every
day life. The recent exposures
of financial methods have shown
you perhaps, that, a sorry sys-
tenn of ethics prevails down
town. but has it made you
search your own conscience more
closely? Miss Tarbell's Com
mercial Machiavellianism" in the
March McClure's brings the les
son home to all of us, the little
fellows as well as the heads of
the big corporations.
There is something here to set
the money grabbers thinking.
Miss Tarbell tells the story of
Machiavelli and his writing of
The Prince" which has made
his name a by-word of scheming
and clever lying. Then she draws
the parallel between commercial
methods of today, and the diplo-
matte circuities of the 10th CEN.

Medici in Italy and of our own
day in America; and she tells you
clearly how modern captains captains -af -

significant fact in tne- ltfrsAf.-
Signor Machiavelli, as the writer
points out, that instead of being
raised to great honor and power
by the Medicis, for whom he
wrote the treatise; versatile,
brilliant, insinuating as he was,
he was left to end his life in lone
: illness and without power. And

nal gun that Selkirk used when
living his Robinson .Crusoe life,
says Percy Trenchard, in the
81 American Boy, has come into
the possession of Miss Huldah
B. White, of 201 North Thirty
Four Street, Philadelphia. While
travelling in England recently
she learned that the famous gun,
Which had been an heirloom in
the Selkirk family, was to be
sold at auction. She sent an
agent to attend the sale, at Edin-
sburgh, Scotland, and he managed
to secure the coveted prize for
