Aldermen Long, - Line berger,. Sloan, Johnston and Morris were present and Mayor Armstrong presided. - v i The, salaries of the chief of police and patrolmen "were raised as follows: Chief of police, from $50 to $75 ; three patrol men, from v $40 to $50 each. This .was a commendable step on the part of the new board and, from expressions heard by the reporter, meets general approval. As guardians of the town's peace and safety these'- men - render valuable service every day; in the year add often take their lives in their hands. The men in blue deserve -..the raise" they got and are appreciative of this recognition of t h e i r -services. Chief of Police Alexander and Patrolmen Carroll, Hicks and Williams are all efficient officers and are giving the town excel lent service. - Permission was given H.

' , Mr. Ben Wt Craig was elected sanitary policeman to succeed Mr.- Louis Kerr, the salary re maining the same. ' Mr. J. Lawrence Beal was re elected building inspector. Bills aggregating $1,448.56 were audited and ordered paid. - ,The matter of fixing the tax levy for the coming year came up and evoked quite a good deal of discussion but no final action was taken. An adjourned ses sion of the board . will be held Tuesday night for the purpose of reaching a definite conclusion on this point. ; The recent Leg islature, it seems, passed an act in regard to levying the poll tax ana, as ine act is. not yet prime and aistnouten; tnere was some discussion as to whether the new act would render' necessary any change in the present schedule. The ! present poll tax is : $2.85 in the town and $2.75 in the county. In the town the rate on real and personal property is $1.40 and in the county it is 91 cents per $100 worth.- The ac tion of the board with reference to the tax levy is awaited " with interest by the citizens of the HANDSOME CHUSCH 1 I ISJC0MPLETED. New Honse o! Worship Erected ' by Union Presbyterian. Con' . frefatlon In Beadiiiess lor Use First EeKnlar Services to be , Held Sunday Morninf The Prettiest Conntry Church in 1 Gaston County A Brlel Be j some o! Its History. ' Sunday morning at 11 o'clock breaching services will be held for the first time in the e band some new brick church erected at' Union, this county, ; by the Union Presbyterian ; congrega tfon. The accompanying cut of the building was made from a recent photograph by Green & Haynes, of Gastonia. The Un ion congregation is prottd of this new house of worship and justly so, for it is the most modern and the handsomest church in any rural community in Gaston coun ty. Rev. G. A. Sparrow, the pastor, will preach Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and it is safe to say that . there will be a large audience present to wit ness the opening of the new church. ' Erected at a cost of over $6, 000, this structure is of brick and is handsomely finished on the interior. It has been in course ot construction for the past year and only a few weeks Union church was one made o: hewn logs and was erected about the year 1843 or 1844, It was built by the different denomina Hons with j the understanding that all should have the use ol it, hence the name Union church. The Presbyterians and Baptists seem to have predominated, though other denominations used it occasionally. This manner of worship - continued until 1859 when the Independent Presby terian Denomination purchased a site adjoining the . premises of the old log church and erected a frame house 40 by 60 feet. Thi?, witn some repairs, served ar a house of worship until Feb. 19, 1906, when the work of tearing down and making ready for the handsome brick church which has lust been completed, was be?un. In the meantime the Baptists built a new cburcb known as Sandy Plains and in 1876 gave up their claim to the old cburcb and land belonging to it. From the old records we learn that Rev. J. O. Daniels was pas tor of the old log church from its erection and. together witn Elders Daniel F.-Ragan, Robert H. Craier and George R. Bryson, organized the Independent Pres bvterian Church in 1850 contin uing its pastor until his death. Rev. James S. Bailey supplie J the church a part of the time up to Jan. 1, 1858, when Rev. William- W, Carothers was era- ";;'" r 'mm town. - t JlOclmo; : Ratio Dividends Received to ; Premiums Paid. 39.9 percent Record - of Policy No. 80,665 Issued in 187S. at age 38, for $10,000.

Hunter, a veil-known physician - of Rock Hill, who had gone to Baltimore three weeks previous for treat ment. For the. past several years Dr. -Hunter thad made a specialty of cancer treatment and in the practice of his profession bad come to be known by many people fn und around Gastonia who w i'l regret-to hear of his d'-ith. He was here only a few d s before he went to Baltimore. Deceased- was 67 years old." Rev. R. P. Smith returned to bis home at Asheville yesterday. He came to assist in the orgranimioa of the Woman's Missionary Union of the Kings Mountain Presbytery at First Presbyterian church yesterday. While here he w. the roest of his son, Mr. Lerrari f ago was it completed. Tne placing of the seats was done a week or' so ago. Besides the main auditorium it contains Sun day school rooms, ladies'- par lor - and pastor's study, it is heated by steam. As soon as the debt incurred in its con struction is entirely liquidated the church will be dedicated. , ' Union is one of Gaston's his toric churches. It has for gen erations been a stronghold of Presbyterian ism in lower Gaston and the record of its life and" achievements is a glorious one. Below the reader will -find a brief outline of the more important events in its history. This, we believe, will prove of interest to a large number ot our readers. The Gazette is indebted to Miss Clara Patrick," of the - Union neighborhood, for valuable as sistance in preparing this sketch. ' The following facts, gathered from the old records, in regard tdu the early history of Union church may be of . interest to many readers of The Gazette. The first building known as ployed as regular pastor, serving the church until the year 1866 During his pastorate, , the church united with Bethel Presbytery Synod of South Carolina. This connection continued until April 1870, when, at its own request it was dismissed from Betbe Presbytery and was enrolled among the churches of Mecklen berg Presbytery," Synod of North Carolina. Rev. William . Wallace Ratch ford supplied the church once in each month from May 10, 1863 until the close of the year 1869. Succeeding him Rev. Thomas E. Davis was employed as pas tor in January, 1870, and con tinued thus until the close of the year 1874. Rev. James H.Douglass served the church from 1875 until No vember, 1876, at which time t call was extended to Rev. Wil Ham B. Corbett for one hall of his time. He was installed Apr. 27, 1877, by Rev. William Mc Donald and Rev. JJ. Kennedy Mr. Corbett remained the faith ful pastor until May 1, 1882, when, at his own request, the congregation" very reluctantly concurred with him in asking Presbytery to dissolve the re. lationship. ; " , In December 1832. a call hav ing been ? made and accepted, Rev. James M. McLain became the next regular pastor until De cember. 1839. ' Following him Rev. W. C. C. Foster was pastor of the cburcb until 1893, when the present pas tor. Rev.' G. A. Sparrow, as sumed the pastoral duties which he . has so faithfully and effi ciently discharged for fourteen years. His untiting zeal and ceastlc fneruy, his love for, and interest in bis work have al ways been an incentive to his I people.

It is a sin to deprive oneself of enjoyment in life and become a burden to others through in digestion. The -backaches, headaches; distress after eating, loss of ap petite, gulping up of undigested food, etc., are not natural. Mi- o-na stomacn tablets used tor a few days before meals will so strengthen the digestive organs that you can eat anything you want without fear of distress or resulting sickness. J. H.
