COUNTY
MET.
ALUMNAE
On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 3, 192E,
there was a meeting of the Haywood
County Alumnae of North Carolina at
Mrs. Nannie Persons, for the purpose
of commemorating Foundation Day.
The radio program sent out by the
Alumnae secretary was used. The
meeting opened with the singing of
the college song, after which the
greetings and messages from Presi
dent Foust and members of the fac
ulty were read by various merpbers.
After the reading of each message
each one had some pleasant and in
teresting reminiscence to relate. 4t
the close of the program Carolina -.vus
sung in memory of Dr. Mclver.
A delightful social half hour was
enjoyed during which a lovely salad
course was served. The guests were
then invited into the dining room
where a beautiful college birthday
cake, decorated with heliotrope and
pink geraniums graced the center of
the table. The blowing out of the
candles occasioned a great deal of fun.
It was with much reluctance that
the guests parted after the happy
renewal of college associations.

A large number of friends and rel
atives attended the funeral of Mr.
Talmage Ensley which took piece
Thursday of last week in Scotts Creek
Baptist church and interment in Old
Field cemetery. The funeral was con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Deitz, assisted by
several other ministers. Mr. Ensl y
was successfully operated on 'for ap
pendicitis last spring, but there were
other complications from which he
could not recover. Recently he ex
pressed a desire to be taken to see
his father and mother at Beta. Ap
parently the change benefitted him
and he was able to return to walk
around his old home, but soon suc
cumbed to the inevitable and was not
able to return to his home here. He
suffered much but bore it with little
complaint. We extend our deep sym
pathy to the relatives, especially to
his faithful wife who nursed him "o
tenderly.
