Rome, April 26.?The remains of Private Eddie Sports. Co. L., 118 infantry, killed in action somewhere in France September 1918, was laid to rest in Union cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Ex-soldiers in uniform acted as pall bearers. The funcial services were conducted by the Rev. G. K. Way, pastor of Union ctiurch, .vho was chaplain overseas. Pn.*ace Spoits was a brave soldier who did his duty well. He went over the top seven times. Although, he was campanlively a stranger in this community, his parents having recently moved here, the largest crowd that has evei been at Union for years paid honor to him who made the supreme sacrifice. Mrs. G. K. Way and little daughter J Harriet, spent several -lay* in Charleston last week, during that t:me. Harriet had her tonsils and adenoids i removed. We are glad that she is improving rapidly now. Rev. G. K. Way and iProf. D. H.J Dantzler were visitors at Hemingway; Monday. J A play entitled "Sand", will be given at Union High school next Friday j night, April 29th, for the benefit of the Lyceum course. This will be play-1 ed by local talent with the exception of one of the leading parts, which will be played by Mr. Claude M. Melton, of Columbia. Prof. 0. M. Mitchell who is teaching near Gibson, X. C., spent last week end here. Mrs. Mitchell who has been spending several weeks here, returned with him. , A disappointed crowd of young folks in this community listened to the downpour of rain last Friday night. A big monlight picnic at Rhem's landing had been planned and everybody was ready for a big time, but instead of the moonlight, the river and the crowd and last but not least?the fine supper, they had rain and more rain. We are glad that Mrs. D. D. Rhem. who was operated on for appendicitis, last week at the McLeod Infirmary in Florence, is improving as rapidly as can be expected. Mrs. H. 15. Floyd has returned to her home at Floydale after spending a few days with her daughter, Mrs. G. K. Way. Mrs. Fannie Munr.erlyn has returned from a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Warren H.
