Thanksgiving services are held rthis morning at 10:30 o’clock in the Presbyterian church. Rev. Thos. Vanscoy delivers the sermon, and Elder D. T. Halstead and Rev. D. J. Huston assist in the exercises. Mrs, Cassie, wife of John Tharp, and daughter of ,Geo. B. Con well, Esq., of this town, died at her home in Remington last Thursday, of typhoid fever. Her remains were buried beside her mother’s, :in the old cemetery at Rensselaer. She leaves an infant daughter about fifteen months old to the care of her husband. Mr. Norman Warner has quit selling threshing machines, corn planters, reapers, and othir farm machinery of similar character for the season, and now devotes his whole attention to putting up stoves, and supplying hardware and cabinet furniture to new housekeepers or any other people who need articles of that description. S Among the enterprises boasted by Rensselaer there is none of more importance to the town and country than its grist mill. It is ■the only one in tbs county we believe that grinds wbeat; there may be others where people can have their corn and buckwheat ground, but this one grinds wheat in addition to the other grain and does its work well. This year there was no good wheat grown in our county,, and it one buys a good article ot flour it must come fromi abroad. Messrs. C. D. A J. M. Hopkins, who now run the mill, not only grind oorn, buckwheat, and wheat brought to them by neighboring farmers, but they also keep an excellent quality of foreign flour, whioh is warranted to be first olasa. Prices at the mill are as follows: Best quality of flour, from old crop wheat, 18.60 per barrel; buckwheat flour $3 per hundred pound?; corn pjeal 50 cents a bushel.

Mr. Ludd Hopkins and family and sister-in-law started ,this morning for California, where they will winter. The supreme court in a recent decision annulled the action of the oircuit court which issued a decree of foreclosure of mortgage in the cause of Charles D. Delaney vs. Wm. H. and Fanny O. Rhoades. November 20th, 1875, the clerk ot Jasper county issued a marriage license to Joseph W. Laing and Luoretia Pierson; and on the 22d instant an instrument of similar import was procured by James Horrie, Jr., and Nina Rolla. Those who are indebted to the late firm of James & Healey, are requested to call at this office without delay and make settlement. All accounts of said firm not settled, either by money, note or otherwise, on the Ist day of December, 1875, will be placed in’the hands of a collector for immediate adjustment. Hobace E. James.

To Whom it May Concern.

All persons knowing themselves indebted to me on book account, will please call and settle with cash if possible; if not with cash, by note before the 15th day of De-

cember, 1875.

Temperance Meetings.

The meeting at the Christian church on Monday evening was attended by fifty or sixty persons, among whom were several of the earnest and efficient workers in the cause of temperance of this town and vicinity. The exercises were, singing songs appropriate to the occasion, music, reading temperance passages from the bible, the perfection of an organization named the Jasper County Temperance Union by electing officers, and a discussion of the object and aims of the new-born association. The officers, who are elected for a term of three months, are, Dr. Ira C. Kelley, president; Mr. Harvey W. Wood, vice president; Miss Candace Boroughs, secretary; and Mrs. Rev. S. E, Rogers, treasurer. It was said that the general purpose of the society is to keep alive and promulgate a healthy temperance sentiment in community, aud its special object is to defeat, if possible, the efforts of persons to obtain license to retail spiritous liquors in the county. For the present, weekly meetings are to be held, at which new and attractive programmes of exercises will be presented each evening. Next Monday night the meeting will be held at the court house, when the order of exercises will be as follows: 1. Singing by the choir. 2. Reading a portion of the Scriptures. 3. Reading minutes of the last meeting. 4. Speeches. 5. Intermission of five minutes. 6. Singing by the choir. 7. Declamations. 8. Miscellaneous business. 9. Singing by the choir, and closing. Exercises will be commenced at Beven o’clock, and the committee earnestly solicit all to lend a helping hand for the gpod work.

That "Special Notice.”

For some cause a misapprehension exists among certain readers and patrons of The Union in regard to the special notice to churches, societies, which appeared in last issue. That announcement was studiously worded to guard against ambiguity, and it was hoped that nobody would mistake the idea intended to be conveyed by it to the public. It was said that no gratuitous publication would be made in this paper of any festival, theatrical performance, concert, show, fair, or other entertainment where an admittance fee is charged. Now that announcement was intended to apply only to speculations of the character described, when those who conducted them Would make money for themselves or a purpose in which they bad greater interest than the general public. It was furthermore announced that “resolutions of condolence” on the death of a | member of a secret society, and , obituary notices, would be charged I for. This does not mean that we

intend to exclude from The Union all announcements of deaths that are hot paid for. The publisher of this paper proposes to .collect and present in his columns all items of local value, or in which his readers may be presumed to take an interest, free of charge; and lie respectfully asks to be "informed of events transpiring throughout the county. Hut he does not intend, that, because he may be a member of any lodge or society, (and if not a member the imposition would be greater), to, bear the whole expense Of publishing five or ten dollars’ worth of sorrow which the brotherhood resolve they mutually feel. Condolence and grief that sponge an expression are entitled to no more respect than other dead beats. An omission from the notice published last week may as well be supplied here as anywhere else. It is this: The Union is not an ‘‘organ” published in the interest of any party, sect, or clique, either political or religious; but it is the means of procuring a living for its owner and his family—when it fails in this it will cease to exist, and the proprietor will engage in some remunerative occupation—hence in any future political campaign regular advertising rates will be charged tor publishing the calls for caucuses and conventions, and for advertising the tickets in nomination.

J. H. WOOD.
