MUCH ADO
 ABOUT NOTHING

They had been married a month aud had just returned from the wedding journey. They were about to pass through a condition similar to an at- uospheric change when balmy air encounters cool wave, producing storm. Sentiment was to give place to ordinary existence.

 These were the only words spoken at the breakfast table. The young hus- band scanned bis paper in silence and with a Scowl. He was suffering from a toOthach". The wlfe's E"ow, too, was clouded. She had invited some friends to dinner, and the most de- sirable had regretted What should she dO about it? The husband arose, kissed her and took his hat and cane to gO out, but before doing so went into the library, where he remained q few minutes, came out and was about 10 leave when his wife stopped him.
 Haven't you forgotten something, dear:" she said.

Dear Sir-I herewith take occasion to acknowledge receipt of and thank you for the elegant gold watch won as first special prize in your Piano Contest. The watch Is little beauty and is thoroughly first class in every respect and not a cheap article like those frequently given as prizes for getting subscribers. While I won 1t easily, only working one Saturday and sigor eight evenings after school, | prize 1t very highly and believe very few ladies in our town have its equal. Certainly no one can hesitate to work in your contest when you fill your ad- vertised engagements so honorably.

An Old Soldier Pleased.

Editor Union mesE-Once al
soldier, | am much alated over
the prospective monument that
the ladies of Union propose to
erect to the memory Of the Con-
federate soldiers. l Suppose the
monument will stand aS symbol
for patriotism, also as al memento
to the ladies of Union| who will
cause its erection, anH whose
hearts overhowed with patriotism
while we were marching with Lee
and Jackson. We, the Confederate
soldiers Of the early sixties, are
now living far in the afternoon of
life and will soon have to answer
our last roll call; we often dream
Of the old camp fires and bloody
battlefelds; seemingly we have
made our last fight and only one
cause would induce us to fly to
arms again, and that would be for
the protection of our noble ladies,
who could safely count on us till
the last ditch, which would either
give us victory or soldiers grave
In honoring the Confederate SOL
diers don't forget the deserving
daughter whose father went down
on the bloody battlefield; have her
present, permit her to assist in
the unveiling and all will be blest
without any petitions from here
below. All honor to the ladies of
Union and of our country. With
out them our victories would have
been few. While our cause was
lost, Our flag went down with hon
or. Even our once enemies joined
hands with the world in praising
the record of the Confederate sol
diers. While thanking the noble
ladies OF Union, | must not for
get the record of the old Union
Times, which has bravely stood by
us i'll war as well as in peace, and
without fear of contradiction, |
don't blieve there is house with
in the borders that can be made
complete without a copy of tic
dear old Times.
