Recently a large lot of juni per poles have been stripped of their bark and the bark left on the ground., we suppose,to de ejay on Lucknow Square in front of Hotel Divine. The poles-were hauled there with the bark on them and after be ing stripped of the bark, the poles were shipped away. It seems to us that the railroad company should be required to keep their freight yards in bet ter condition. It is evidently an eye-sore beside being un healthy, to the town to have that bark there. It should be mov ed or burned. ' That we xlo business in Dunn is evidenced bv the amount of freight received here. The side-track here is full of cars most of the time loaded with guano and merchandise and when you remember that the track will hold seventy-five cars you have some idea of the business done TConrl thp rnl- umns of The Union and you will find what inducements our Jive, energetic, up-to-date mer chants have, to otter you to trade rtnem.

We learn that our farmers are well advanced with their preparations for planting- and some of them will begin plant ing corn this week. A good many farmers still stick to thje old rule to commence planting corn on the 2oth of March, and it is not often that it is serious-! lv injured by frost when plant ed so early. Ed. Wilkins and Jim Mc Bryde, two colored boys, got in to a little scrap on the street! Sunday afternoon and Jim used a stick on Ed and "Ed figured with his knife. No d image was done. The Mayor heard the case Monday morning and bound them over to the Superior court. Jim is a professor of sanctifiea tion and was shedding tears copiously after' his trial. The town Aldermen held a special session Monday evening and amott other things passed an order prohibiting building of any blacksmith shops with in a hundred feet of Broad street and those already erected must be moved back th.at dis tance by January first 1899. This action of the aldermen is commendable. Property own ers do not want shops of this nature so near their buildings. W. C. T. IL-.Memorial Service. As was announced in these columns last week the W. C. T. U. held v memorial service in the Disciple church Sunday morning in memory of their late departed president Miss Frances Willard, who died re cently in New York City at the age of 52 years, having made her life work one for temperance and reform among the women of the world and especially in America. M A large congregation greeted them at the church Sundav morning at 11 o'clock. The exercises consisted of a song and prayer service, a recitation by Mrs. E.F. Young and an address by Mr. J. C. Clifford. The altar was artistically draped in mourning and as the members marched in, each bear ing a mourning wreath and a pure white ribbon, the emblem of the order, it made quite a sad and impressive picture, and carried the mind to the mourn ful sceptre of the white winged angel that visits the human body but once and returns it to the dust from whence it came, but frees the immortal spirit from its tenement of clay and carries it to "a house not built with hands, eternal in the heav ens" to bask in the Saviour's love and to reap the reward of all the faithful. The recitation by Mrs. Young was beautiful and impressively rendered and was highly com plimented by the congregation, while the address of Mr. Clif ford .was a gem of brilliancy, clothed with eloquence, which' won the admiration of his hear ers. f ri Ylillioii CnitCn Awny.

Mad Iloirs Die. 1 We are informed by a re sponsible party that there is a "mad hog scare" in this town ship, (Averasboro) about four miles from town, northwest. It is stated that some three weeks ago amad dog went through that section and bit thirty-two hogs, twelve of that number having gone 'mad and died since, and others are sick. Our in formant says that the dogs in that section are being killed and asked us to notify the peo ple of the penalty of allowing a dog that has been bitten by a mad dog to run at large. The Code of North Carolina makes it a penalty of $50 fine or imprisonment for 30 days for any person or persons to allow a dog that has been bitten by a mad dog to run at large, and we suppose the same law ap plying to dogs would apply to cattle, hogs or other animals. Anvwav it is the duty ol ot ev ery man, if his hog, dog or cow has been bitten by a mad dog, and he has knowledge of the fact, to shut the same up and keep it from other stock or an imals until it has had sufficient time for the disease to have de veloped and taken its course ; and if it should be a dog kill him at once for they are worth less and unprofitable animals.

To-days papers contain news that the President and Congress are taking active steps to end the Cuban war. The President will probably declare Cuba free this week and this will lead to war with Spain. The report of the Court of Enquiry on the Maine will reach the President to-night or to-morrow and it is said it will state that the ship was blown. up by external agen cies. The report that- the Maine was destroyed by Spanish tor pedoes and intervention in .be- nan oi tne uuuians will inev itable bring war with Spain. our government is making ac tive preparation for the crisis and our navy is in readiness to sail at once. The forts along the coast have all been manned by soldiers. No call for troops has been made jet except for two thousand naval soldiers. The war is as good as commenc ed and will be fully on within 15 days, unless Spain backs down and that is hardly probable. There is no cause for alarm among our citizens for none will have to go to the war that do not wish to go. Come and see our Wagons, E. F. Young, i 50 dozen cotton hoes just re ceived. Prices Down.
