Those who are accustomed to judge
a section by what they see at the
county seat do not always get a cor
rect idea of things. Monroe makes
a good impression on strangers, but
even that impression would be en
hanced by a trip through some sec
tions of the county. The most thriv

from one end of the route to the oth
er. There are more painted houses
long the line than on any other
roura in me county. A little paint
makts a great deal of difference in
the apiwaranceof things, and a great
eal of it transforms the face of a
section. I'aiut is not only an index
to prosperity, but it is more. It
, shows a taste for something further,
: for the beautiful as well as for the
I useful.
I Mr. T. L. Love is the carrier. He
is not the oldest carrier in the coun
i ty, and he is not the best looking;
j 'Squire Jake Little is the oldest, and
Uncle Adam Pencgar thinks he is
the best looking. But Mr. Iove is a '
mighty good carrier, and he tends to
his business and loves it Mr. Love '

and Smith Bros, at Unionville. The
others are (5. It. Helms, E. E. Bras-
well and J. M. Foard.
Mr. G. 0. Fullcnwider runs gins
and other machinery three miles
from town and does a good business.
Mr. E. E. Presson does a irrejit HasI
of ginning, probably as much as any
country ginnery in the county.
There are four whita nnH tan ml.
ored churches on the route, and sev
eral school houses.
There are manv cood farmers

er and a shredder. Several years ago
he quit the old way of farming, and
now, with little more than his own
labor, he makes more than when h
had his several sons on the farm with
him. Mr. J. 8. Kdwarria uhn livno
on the Chancy old place on the Mor
gan road, is the only farmer known
to this writer in the county who has
his whole farm fenced in. He has
wired it with the woven wire at great
expense. But every field thereby
becomes a nasture when h rhnnooa
to use it as such, and stock can be
turned in on fields after harvest and
thut save a great deal.
Among those on the mni whn
have lately built new residences or
guru earns, irom cottages to two
story houses. are 'SouireS A Helms

Unionville calls for special men
tion outside of its relation to the
route. A few veara nm lh nl.v
jaiea, oui.as qule V. A. Love says,
it was resurrected. It is now very
much alive. The school is, of course,
me central object, but the village it
self is now aspiring to make a place
for itself that will both help and be
helped by the school. The district
has just voted a local tax and the
school will be a State High School.

The Thanksgiving season has been

This is a beautiful and practical
expression of the stirit. nf rrntituHn
