Blowing Rock sreslss

Despite the rough weather on
Christmas Day a congregation,
small but earnest, assembled in
the Reading Room to celebrate
the birthday OF the greatest man
who ever lived on earth, the ser
vices a more appropriate way of
showing ones appreciation of
what that Man did for the world
than by meaningless racket-mak-
ing or the idiotic filling of ones
stomach and brain with BOOZE"
otherwise enlivening but not en-
tightening "fire-water."
On Christmas afternoon, thru
the rough weather, over a fearful
mountain road, Rev. Edgar Tufts
made the 20 miles from Banner
Elk, stopping that night at Mr.
E.G. Uuderdown's hospital home
on the Cone Estate where Mr..
Underdown enjoys the honor OF
being the trusted nanagerof that
great estate, and next morning
Brother Tufts whirled into town
at the head Of a blizzard, but,
nothing daunted, the brave mes
senger OF the Prince of Peace held
two services that day, preaching
both times, to the morning con-
gregation giving a we'll thought
out and impressive sermon on the
Life Of Christ, taking for his text
the words OF the prophet Isaiah,
chapter 9, verse 6, ''He shall be
called wonderful" preaching an
excellent sermon on Cast thy
bread upon the waters: for thou
shalt find it after many days.

Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods SarSaparilla.

LOSS OF appetite is accompanied BY
loss Of vitality. which is serious.
IL is common in the spring because
at this time the blood is impure and
impoverished and falls TO give the
digestive organs what is absolutely
necessary for the proper perform
ance OF their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla. the old reli-
able all-the-year-rOund medicine. is
especially useful in the spring. Get
1t from your druggist today. By pur-
flying and enriching the blood and
giving vitality. vigor and tone, 1t is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment OF loss OF appetite and the 9TH
er ailments prevalent at this time.
1t is not simply a spring medicine
1t is much more than that-but 1t is
the best spring medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red blood the digestive organs need.

UNION COUNTY LANDS.

We do not, as rule, make 1T con-
cern of ours to call attention to ad-
vertisers in The Times. We realize
that there is no need to do so. But
we cannot refrain from remarking
upon the advertisement of Mr.. E. f.
Kelly, which may be seen on the
eighth page of this issue.
Time and again we have called at
tention to the point brought out In
this advertisement, the remarkably
low price of Union county lands. Mr.
Kelly makes the further point that
these low-price lands are being pur-
chased by outside people. 1t is just
another case, all too frequently
found, in which people discount the
advantages that are to be found at
their very door.
Anyway, if people from other coun-
ties come in and buy up these farms
it will give us an influx of population
But, it is really pity that our own
people cannot see these things. And
it will soon be too late.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-06-02

Your town is, so far as you are
concerned, largely what you make 1T.
The same may be said of your busi-
ness, your home life and every other
relation. The citizen who constantly
knocks the town is undesirable in
more ways than one. He is not only
bore, he is degenerate, or at least,
exerts malign influence on the COM
munity. The business man who has a
:"grouch" is the biggest load his busi-
ness has to carry. After all is said,
the man who refuses to join the pessl-
mists, who boosts, smiles and fights
wins. The average business, through
the indifference and sullenness of it's
employees is hardened but by these
conditions than by all other adverse
hindrances.

One of the problems of the summer

One of the problems of the summer
vacation is the idle boy. The nine
months of school is period of dis
cipline. The three summer months OF
vacation is period of utter lack of
discipline. This is not written to add
to the burden of the boy. He has his
troubles. to be sure. He must have
recreation, entertainment. But he
must have some responsibility. 1t
will be good for his body and good for
his soul if he be put to work. Work
is a great safeguard, great oppor-
tunity for boy. To be idle three
months in the year will do much to
undermine both his character and his
reputation.

We have been notified by the paper
houses of another advance of half a
cent per pound for newspaper. The
price now is almost double what 1t
was three months ago, and the end
is not vet. All we can do to protect
ourselves is to call earnestly upon
the subscribers, one and all, to send
us the money for a renewal. We par
ticularly beg that those subscribers
who are considerably in arrears come
to our aid. We will find quick and
real relief if all will do this. Some
papers are advancing the price. This
does not appeal to us. We have for
so long sent out paper for a dollar
a wear that we would not know how
to begin the raising of the price to
one and half dollars.
Kind friend, look at your little yell
low label and if you find you are in
arrears, send us in your renewal. do
this and help us without hurting your
self.

RESOLUTIONS ON DEATH
OF SOY. HI. nj. WILDWOOD

Whereas the divine providence in
His infinite wisdom has deemed it fit
to remove from us our most worthy
Sovereign H. M. Millwood makes it
fitting that we record our apprecia-
tion of him; before, be it resolved:
That in the death of our Sovereign
the Camp has lost a very able man,
and the community in which he lived
a good citizen, the State a patriotic
and noble son, the family devoted
husband and loving father.
Resolved, That we extend to the
relatives and friends of the deceased
in their bereavement our heartfelt
sympathy, and express our earnest
hope that even so great a bereave-
ment may be overruled for the highest
good, and these expressions of our
coincidence be spread on the records
of this Camp, printed in the paper of
the Order, and in the county paper,
and copy sent the family.

Saws She Was SaUed

Brother and Sister Both Relieved b.
Simple Remedy Available

In her gratitude for remedy that
saved her from the possible necessity
for an operation, Mrs. Carrie Hefiin,
of Coats, Kans., writes: Had it not

Fruitola is a powerful lubricant for
the intestinal organs, softening the
congested masses, disintegrating the
hardened particles that cause so much
suffering and expels the accumulation
in an easy, natural way. Traxo is a
splendid tonic, acting on the liver and
stomach with most beneficial results
and is recommended for use in connec-

ing near which would decide the ques-
ton of the two parties. No one
dreamed that war would come as the
result of the break of the leaders of
the North and South. Davis thought
property rights and slavery would be
far better than secession: he voted
against any steps that might lead to
breakup of the Union. 1t was not his
telegram that fired the first shot. He
cherished the hope of reunion until
Sumter was fired upon-then he took
leave of the senate and came home
to Mississippi. He was made major
general of State troops.
In the secret chambers of his heart
he cherished the desire of the presi-
dency; he was thinking of the Soutl.
in his hope for the presidency, not
the honors it would bring him. Davis,
Douglas or Lincoln. The presidency
stood between the three. Not all who
lose fail-Davis lost but did not fail.
Davis advised the people of Missis-
sippi and the governor against seces-
sion. He longed and hoped the union
would last. All hopes were in vain.
Mississippi in her turn seeded and
with her Jefferson Davis, though his
long year of effort wasted and his
country and people in trouble he took
up the circumstances with calm and
steady hand. He is a perfect exam
pie of what a resolute will can en-
dure and accomplish in spite of the
most repressing and incurable mala-
dies. In few weeks he was elected
president of the Confederacy, the
president of the Confederacy, the
most wonderful and touching con-
struction of the age. During the long
years of the South's suffering Davis
lived with his cause and the South.
He considered the South a part of
him-when it suffered he suffered.
Lincoln's death came. Jefferson and
the South watched with agony the
last friend. He could only watch.
prison the president of the South was
accused of planning the death of Lin
coin. No trial, no aid to prove his
innocence, only two suffering years in
prison of the lowest order. A man
of means, a man of character, could
he endure this?
In olden times if an emperor or any
of the nobility were harmed without
cause, at death the flowers came.
Davis had no flowers. His cause loved
him more, if that could be, but his
name was not what it should have
been. We need more flowers, more
monuments in the name of Jefferson
Davis.
When he returned to his home after
the two years Imprisonment he was
of course a physical wreck, though
his spirit was equal to any storm.
Peering into his latter days we see
but little after this; only few years
of relaxation, travel and writing and
then his soul was waited to the great
beyond.
He wrote the "Rise and Fall of the
Confederacy."
A small mound of stone in historic
Hollywood cemetery represents resting
place of jefferson Davis, but it rep
resents a great deal more-a human
being who sacrificed much for his
cause, a statesman with clean hands
and pure heart who served his people
faithfully from budding manhood to
hoary age, without thought of self
and to the best of his great ability.
