Union Mills, ( Dec. 13.—The many
friends and relatives of Mrs. Pink
Nanney, who formerly lived at Vein
Mountain, were saddened to learn of
her death which occurred at the
home of her son, Mr. Horace Nanney,
of Marion, on last Saturday after
noon. Mrs. Nanney had been serious
ly ill for several months, following
a stroke of paralysis, and death was a
relief to the one who had suffered
in agony for the past months.
Mrs. Nanney was born in 1850 and
\v-as 77 years, five months and thir
teen days old at the time of her
death, on Saturday. She professed
faith and joined the Round Hill Bap
tist church over sixty years ago and
has remained a faithful and true
member since that time.
The deceased, before marriage was j
Miss De Merris Hensley and was
married to Mr. Pink Nanney sixty
three years ago.
There is no need writing anything
about the beautiful life. Mrs. Nanney
lived, as her kindness and faithful
ness speaks for her.
The deceased leaves one brother, j
Mr. Steve Hensley, of Nebo, and
one sister, Mrs. Gracie Poteat, of
Glenwood, the husband, Mr. Pink
Nanney, who has been an invalid for
several months, one son, Mr. Horace
Nanney, of Marion, four daughters,
Mrs. Lee Nanney and Mrs. Cebe j
Nanney, both of Spindale, Mrs. How-1
ard Hamrick, of Lattimore and Mrs. j
Ida Jackson, besides many grand |
children and other relatives. Three
children have preceded their mother j
to the grave.
Funeral services were held at the •
Round Hill Baptist church Monday
at 11 o'clock. Rev. Justice, of West
Marion, had charge of funeral
services, assisted by Rev. W. B.
Craig, acting pastor, of Round Hill
Baptist church and Rev. D. J. Hunt, j
former pastor of Mrs. Nanney and j
Rev. Mr. M. M. Huntley, friend of I
the family.
After the funeral services were
concluded the body was laid to rest
in the Round Hill cemetery* The j
beautiful flowers placed on the new
ly made mound served as a token of i
love and respect of hundreds of |
sorrowing relatives and friends forj
the departed loved one.
The box supper which was given |
Saturday night as the Union Mills j
Consolidated schools, was a decided
success, despite the bad weather.
Prof. W. T. Greene, principal of
the Glenwood High School was the
auctioneer of the boxes. His manner i
of speech and mode of selling made
the boxes sell very highly. Sixty dol- J
lars was the net proceeds made from '
the supper. The average price of each |
box was about three dollars. The i
box that sold for the most was pre- I
pared by Miss Daisy Johnson. The
prize box of candy was won by Miss j
Hilda McDonald as being the pret
tiest girl.
The enrollment of the school is
still growing. The last students en
tering increased the number to one
hundred and sixty-two. So far as we
have been able to learn every child
of the compulsory attendance age
is now in school.
The Athletic teams of our school
are still making a fine showing. The
boys have not yet been defeated in
a game. On last Wednesday, they
played the Shiloh Consolidated
School at Shiloh, and Union Mills
won by the score of 26 - 21. This
being the third consecutive victory
for the local team. Today (Tuesday)
the team expects to combat the two
teams from the Glenwood High
School. The outcome of these games
is awaited with much interest in the
part of the faculty and student body.
On Friday afternoon, December 23,
a short Christmas program will be
given in the school auditorium, and
this will be followed by the distribu
tion of the ( gifts from the Christmas
tree by "Old Santa." The entire com
munity is invited to participate in
this affair. The faculty wholeheart- j
edly believes in Santa Claus and the j
exchanging and giving of gifts. Ev- j
rybody who expects to give a friend j
a present for Christmas is invited i
to do so on this occasion. Remember]
the date —Friday afternoon before
,hristmas. I
As strong believers in physical edu
cation, the teachers are giving a fif
teen-minute period, three times per
week to out door physical exercise
which consists of drills, marches,
deepbreathing, etc. The entire stu
dent body takes part in these exer
cises. The faculty hopes not to ovor-

jtal and spiritual side of life. « j
| The writer would like for the* fac- •
j ulty of our school to know that Union
j Mills and.the surrounding community ji
appreciates the fine service the en-'
tire faculty is giving. We believe that
our school cannot be surpassed by \
| any like school in the county, in the r
splendid work of the faculty, of the
student body, in the physical phase
of life and spirit of both teachers'
and students. We hope the good work,
the fine spirit of co-operation of •
parents with the teachers, will con- j
'tinue throughout the rest of the ses-;
sion.

The Alexander Schools, Inc., are
still receiving students into the home i
for motherless children. The latest j
addition was little Robert Allen, age i
ten years of Atlanta, Ga., who ar-J
rived in Union Mills last week. Rob-!
ert made the trip from Atlanta alone, j
Arriving here alright, with the ex
ception of a very unfortunate inci
dent which happened while in Blacks
burg, having missed his regular con
nection there. A man playing with
the little fellow, slipped twenty some !
odd dollars from off the boy's clothes, j
later going home with it. The little j
fellow missing his money, told some j
■ men standing by about it, who no- i
I tified the police of the loss. They !
immediately went to the home of the
alleged thief and had him return the
j money. After he had recovered it
from the ground where he had buried
it after going home. What a shame it
is to cause a little fellow's faith to
waver in his fellow men. Why can't i
we have less such dirty work as this •
and make it safe for even small boys i
to travel alone,
Mr. M. L. Johnson, returned home j
Monday from Charlotte, where he j
underwent an operation at the Char- !
lotte hospital last week.
Prof. W. T. Greene, principal of J
Glenwood High School was. a visitor i
in Union Mills over the week end, the
guest of his friend, Prof. A. A. Pow- ,
ell.
