A mil- lion and a half gallons of water must oe produced and the work must he completed by August 15. This is quite a compliment to Mr. floss' ability and the city commissioners of Shreveport readily gave him a leave of absence while he was engaged in the work. A Shreveport paper, in complimenting on the appointment, said that the friends of Mr. C.oss felt "more like complimenting the government in selecting him [ than in complimenting Mr. floss himI self." The paper adds: "Mr. Goss is recognized as one of the most practical and expert waterworks engineers ! in the South today."

Mr. Drew had just returned from his office and was washing his hands in the bath room when the bolt came in and struck him dead. News of Mr. Drew's death was learned with regret by the people of Union. He was held in high esteem by the citizens generally, and was a progressive and thoroughly competent mill man. During his several years' stay here he was a strong supporter of every public cause, giving a particularly strong encouragement to the Union Chamber of Commerce and fo public questions generally.

Wilburn, near Hebron church, is one of the finest pieces of corn we have seen in many a day. It looks like a canebreak and js as green. It is, as Mr. Ij. J. Browning said in a recent speech here, an inspiration to look at this field of corn. If this is anything like a fair index to the general condition over the county we do not think our people need fear starvation another year. » i muiHEKS' PRAYER MEETING. ! The mothers' prayer meeting will ' be held at the Seminary Friday after- noon at 7 o'clock instead of (>:30 o'clock as heretofore announced. Mrs. ' B. G.

And remember every day at 12 o'clock to stop just one second and say, "God bless and keep our sol- ^ dier boys and the cause for which they are fighting."

Union county will do her part. "Save food and win the war" is the slogan in the mouths of the Union county housekeepers now.
