FRIDAY, JUNE ). 1914.
CHAUTAUQUA WEEK.

Chautauqua week is to be a great
time in Union. This series of splen-
did entertainments was made possible
by number of public spirited citi-
zens of the community. The enter
tainments are to be of high order.
Indeed, it is highly instructive as well
as highly entertaining to attend these
gatherings. We trust there will be
the full cooperation of the citizens
of Union and of Union county. 1t is
worth while to boost this movement
1t means much for the advancement
and encouragement of our people. 1t
is distinctly worth while.

Lockhart Junction, June l. We
have had good rain in this section
something we have been needing for
some time.
Some have very bad stands of cot
ton on the account of the dry weather.
The seeds could not come up. The

dry for them.

i visited the home of Mrs. Gist Farr

and had the pleasure of attending
Wesley Chapel school, which I en-
joyed. There was a large crowd of
people between three and four hun
dred. The exercises were sure fine.
The program was fine from start to
finish. They have a large new school
house just completed. This is fine,
school with large number of schol-
ars. The school is taught by Miss Ida
Garner. She deserves much praise
and should be highly complimented
for the training she has given the
children. This is fine community and
the people are interested in educa-
ton.
I was at the home of Mr.. C. C.
Fowler of Jonesville township last
week and he showed me around. He

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO HOSPITAL
LOT.

We publish in this issue a complete
statement of all cash collected and
paid out for the hospital lot. The list
is given from the treasurer's books
and shows that it has been nine wears
since the lot was paid for and the
property turned over to the associa-
ton. Quite a number of subscrip-
tions were not paid in full up to 1905,
but, as the records show, the purchase
price of the lot was collected and paid.
The association then elected a regular
treasurer. The records were turned
over to him as stated in the published
report of the lot fund in this weeks
Times. Since that time several who
had not paid their subscription in full,
have done so, and the money is in
cluded in the fund now in bank. Sew
eral persons who paid money on the
lot, missing their names in the pub
llshed list of last week, confused the
two. The report, published this week
sets all to rights, as we felt sure it
would. Those who are familiar with
the movement back in 1905 will re-
member that the writer acted as
treasurer in the lot transaction. Since
that time there has been a regular
treasurer That was the day of the
beginning and it is gratifying to the
writer to remember that he helped
the good cause in its infancy.
