Santuc

was In Union saturday, got there
in time to see the old Confederate pa
rade, and / enjoyed it. l was glad
to see it. I could not go in to hear
the speaking. When / look on these
old men, who had not on the old Con-
federate gray, had on the gray OF
age, many also the feebleness, my
heart says, "Grand old men, every one
of you." l have read history some,
and of all of the men of history, none
was ever more true to a cause, more
loyal, believed stronger they were
right, sacrificed more, suffered more
than did the Confederate soldier. Next
in order was the old Continentals; but
they won and the Confederates lost.
[ say this in all respect to all of our
other soldiers. admire them. They
had strong government to back
them, and did not have to suffer hun
ger and go in rags, and sometimes
barefooted. Though many sacrificed
life, or limb, or health; that is bad
enough.
Sunday was beautiful day; an ali
round pleasant day. Yet the attend
ance upon the Sunday schools and
church services seemed rather small.
We have not heard of any sickness.
Maybe the people did not want to go.
l was silly enough to think "church
people" would like to go to church,
or Sunday school once day, espec-
tally when the day was good, if they
were in reach, and were well. There.
did you see me "duck"? I felt that
some one was going to strike.
Rev. Mr.. Carter filed his appoint
ment at the Methodist church Sunday
morning. This is the first time that
many have heard him, and they ex-
press themselves as being well pleased
with him. He has had a peculiar ex-
perience with his appointments here
since he came, as about every time
rain and mud has interfered with the
services, yea, prevented them.
Quite number of people of around
here were in Union Saturday. So
many that acquaintance could not
see all of them every time. Let me
see if 1 can count them-Mrs. l.. B
Jeter, Sr., and daughters, Misses Kate
and Nancy, Miss Vera Trotter, Miss
Lily Cornwell, Mrs. Harry Jones, Mrs.
L. B. Jeter, Jr., j. M. Jeter, Sr., r. E.
Jeter, DR.. J. I. Jcter, T. B. Jeter, A
| w. Gilmore, Charles Smith, w. T.
| ones, "Bob" Moss and Charner Stew
| ems.
R. f. Moss, Jr., met with compli-
cation of accidents last week He had
& tooth broken with rock while al
work, then he got in ball game and
| :. ball struck him over the eye, cutting
& cash which had to be sewed up, and
he looks like he has been in wreck.
He does not complain much. "Bob" is
game.
Notwithstanding to take hold of
| job on the Union Santuc road be-
tween the Crawford place and the
| colored Good Hope church and work
it. Washes from the center to the
edge. of the.road are numerous. and
many holes and bumps, and people
break eggs hauling them in a car to
Union. If the county engineer doesn't
know this road needs smoothing up, /
do. If he doesn't know it, he ought
to. 1t appears it is his business to
know it. If the road boss doesn't
know it, I do. Simply dragging" is
not doing the work. If there is not
large enough force of men to work
it, then cut down the high salary of
the foreman, and put on more men
they are all about the same size any
way. The three dollar road poll tax
ought to help lot. OF course new
road is under construction, but it is a
good way off as yet, and while the
road is being "patchcd" sew it on good
and hard, earn the pay. 1t should be,
"shoot Luke or give up your gun"
