We learn that a game of ball will be played here Satur day afternoon between the home team and the team at Turling ton Institute. A good crowd is expected to witness the game.' When you umpire a game of baseball make up your mind not to notice the remarks of outsiders. They all know how to umpire and know a good deal about the rules of the L'ame. i It is said that a new broom sweeps clean. Let us all see if our hew town Marshal keeps our streets any cleaner than the man ho defeated has been keep- j ing them. Mr. D. H.

We spent Saturday night and Sunday in the country and never saw crops looking so well and corn especially. Mr. Joel Lay ton Jr., with whom we stopped has corn up seven blades high, the blades averaging an inch and a half wide . Prospects are bright for splendid crops. The Union, office is the happy recipient of a loely box of flowers for which it returns thanks to the donor. Flowers make us brighter and , when -we stop to think of the hand by which they were plucked our hopes grow stronger and we sometimes are almost persuaded to say we will not be an old bachelor. Many thanks kind friend. - Two negro boys' stole a ride on the passenger train from Benson to Dunn last Saturday evening.

School, for an in yitation to attend, tne exercises at the ninth annual commence ment of his school, on Thurs day, May '20th 1897. The Literary address will be deliver ed by Hon. N. B. Broughton of Raleigh. A new firm has opened a store in the Lee building on the southwest corner; of Broad and Wilson St., firm name being S. G. Marks & Co. Mr. Marks who has been with J. A. Massengill Co., for 'several years, is man ager in charge. They have f yery pretty store now and we wish them much success. The shop of the John A. McKay M'f'g. Co. was discov ered to be on fire on top to-day about two o clock, having caught from sparks from the smoke-stack. The workmen in the shop did not know anything about it until, the alarm was given. A parrel of water on top of the shop enabled the fire to be extinguished before any damage was done. - A negro man named Lewis and a negro boy were at Frank Furgurson's house in town last Thursday afternoon . The boy was fooling with a pistol when it accidentally fired, the ball striking Lewis in the forehead ust over the right eye. The ball was from a No. 32 cartridge and imbeded itself against the skull which flattened the ball as if it was sttuck with a ham- mer. urs. oexton ana moore were called in and took the ball out. The ball did not knock the negro down and he said it did not hurt much and went off liome in a few minutes after the wound was dressed. memorial Day at Chicora, The ladies of the Chicora Memorial Association have se cured Hon. E. W. Pou, of Smithfield, to deliver the me morial address at Chicora Ceme- ery on next Monday afternoon May 10th, at 3 o'clock. Hon. D. H. McLean will make the ntroductory address. Mr. Pou is an eloquent speaker and a gentleman of fine scholarly at tainments and as his theme will be one that is dear to the heart of every! North Carolinian we know that a large crowd will assemble on' that afternoon i at Chicora Cemetery where lie ! a number of departed heroes who laid down their lives for a cause that was just, and on which stands a beautiful monument of granite,! erected by the fair women of a lost cause. Let us turn out en masse on that after noon and with uncovered heads listen to the eloquent eulogies on our departed heroes by one of our State's most gifted young men. Chicora Cometery is six miles from Dunn on Mr. Ed. Smith's farm and near where the battle of Averasboro was fought. The Memorial Associ ation was organized by the la dies of that community. Mrs. Doug Smith is the president and it is largely through their influence that the monument was raised and the cemetery enclosed with an iron fence. In it repose the remains ot a good many confederate soldiers who lost their lives in the' battle there. For" several years it has been the custom of this Associa tion to have a memorial address on the 10th of May and meet and bedeck the graves with flowers,, showing true southern womanhood and- kind remem berance of the fallen soldiers and the southern cause.

The town election Monday passed off very quietly and the .Democrats "got there" with all the officers except one commis- missioner and town marshal. Never before in the history of tne town was the election so close andv there was more scratching and changing of votes than ever known. The opposition had the machinery ana refused to let three of our Democrats vote which were properly entitled to vote and yet allowed some negroes to vote who were not entitled to a vote . The Republicans . put out what they called a citizens' ticket and had the words "CITIZENS' TICKET" printed on their tickets. This ticket was head by A. R. Wil son for Mayor. Dr. M. W. Harper, L. H. Lee, M. F. Gainey and J. H. Pope for commissioners and George F. Snead for marshal. Kev. JN. 5. Hood who was nominated for. commissioner on the Democratic ticket withdrew his name and declined to run. The executive committee put McD. Holliday on in his place. inere was so much mixing: up and spliting tickets that neither side knew which had won until the votes were count ed. The vote was as follows 5 Democratic Vote. J A : For Mayor : H.Tj. Godwin, " . 79 votes. For Commissioners : McD. Holliday, 78 votes. J.J. Dupreej 83 votes. W. F. Pearson, 82 votes. E. F. Young, 79 votes. For Marshal : J. A. Driver, 79 votes. Republican, or "Citizens' Tick et" Vote. ; For Mayor : A. R. Wilson, 78 votes; For Commissioners l J:H. Pope 80 votes. M. F. Gainey, : 76 votes. L.H.Lee, - 74 votes. Dr. M. W. Harper,! 78 votes. For Marshal : George F. Snead, 82 votes. H. L. Godwin was declared elected Mayor of the town by one vote. Dupree, Pearson, Young and Pope were declared elected for commissioners. Frank Snead was' declared elec ted marshal by three votes. The Republicans had the machinery and with a division among the Democrats they could not beat us, after refus ing to allow three of our men, who were entitled to vote, to vote. Several Democrats did not vote at' all and this is why the election was so close. There is some talk of the counting : oyer the votes and trying to change the result of the election but tht is all talk as there is no doubt but that the votes were counted corectly as both talesman's sheets cor responded. ' J. H. Pope is sheriff of the county and cannot take the oath of office as commissioner of the town without resigning the office of sheriff. With this election are con nected some singular circum stances. The candidates for Mayor are brother-in-law havj ing married sisters. J. rl." Pope and L. H. Lee on the 'Citizens' ticket" are brothers-in-law, McD." Holliday, the Democratic nominee, is a son-in-law of Dr. Harper of the "Citizens' Ticket," and J. D. Barnes, democratic poll holder, is brother-in-law to both of the candidates for Mayor. We read that "a house divid ed cannot stand' , but hurrah ! for the Democratic side, it got nearly all in the division15 this time.. Cool Drinks, fresh and spark ling, at Lane's.

Xhe Hall Game. As stated in the locals last week, the Smithfield boys would play the Dunn boys a game of ball at this place Monday evening. Several spectators gathered at the grounds in the afternoon expecting the game, but the team for some cause was delayed and did not arrive until about dark. The game was called Tuesday morning at 9 :30 o'clock, and a very in teresting game was expected. Each team went to the bat but not a single run was made on the first inning. The boys all played well and few sorry .plays were made. One thing to be greatly admired of the visiting team they were all self-com-posed and acted the part of gentlemen, and thus avoided the everlastingiiarrangues that are so frequent on , such oc casions. The most of the sym pathy of the by-standers was greatly manifested for our boys but with all this the score stood 11 to 18 at the close of the ninth inning.- We are glad the game passed off pleasantly but sorry our boys met with de feat.
