The above sketch of Union was
written for the Fairforest chapter d.
A. r. and was read at the Scptenha,
meeting.
The writer then stated that she had
gathered the data from here. there
and everywhere, and in view of the
fact that she was not native-born
and was not familiar with local his
tory, she had to depend largely upon
the memory of the oldest citizens for
much of the information. and some
errors may have unwittingly crept in.
She expressed her desire to state facts
and asked for corrections, and even
now that the matter has appeared in
print, will be only too glad to cor
rect any false statements.
The Editor of The Union Times will
publish these corrections. However,
any statements as to deeds and gifts
of land may be verified by the records
at the court house, for these were

CHEERS LONDON OPINION

Press cablegrams from Washington to-
day stating that the United States is maxi
ing an additional loan of 800. 900 900 to
Russia reused much optimistic opinion both
in and out of official circles as to the real
situation in the new republic
The belief was widely expressed that the
United States Government with its far
reaching sources of information, would not
thus increase her loans to the great sum of
$275,000.000 unless there were assurances
that Russia will be able to woot"o~ svo.
cessfully the storms Of war and domestic
confusion.
There are indications that undue mpor.
tance was attached to the German drive at
Riga and that it will fail to achieve military
