This is the second year of night school work at i the mills. The teachers were paid ?Hich night for their servicee, by Col. Leroy Springs, president of the mills. The enrollment was 141, ot, which number 46 were adults. ] Through the kindness of Mr. W. E. Taylor, the teachers were taken to' aad from their work by automobile. The school #as particularly fortunate In having as its teachers the following members of the graded school j faculty, viz: Mrs. W. E. Taylor, Miss Bthel Brock, Miss Juanita Neely and1 Mr. Qrady Bowman. The grateful pupils last night expressed their appreciation of the in-! struction they had received, accom-1 panying same with thoughtful remembrances for their teachers. In connection with th6 work of the night school we would mention the efficient services of Mr. Joe Robertson. who looked after the building gratis, and always had the rooms" eomfortablc for the sessions of the school, two nights each week. VOUNG IjADY'S SUDDEN DEATH.1 MIm Iiillie McManus Dies of Apoplexy. A sudden death which caused sor-| row to her school mates and friends | was that of Miss Lillie McManus of the Union school, this county. Miss HcManuB dropped dead on the playground of the school laat Tuesday. A strange coincidence is the fact that the summons came just as suddenly ta her father, Mr. George Mclfanus, who passed away about a year ago while digging a grave In the cemetery near the school; The deceased -was twenty-one years of age and leaves a mother and two brothers. The funeral services were held ' Wednesday, followed by interment In Vhlon church yard.
