Basket Ball Game.

Last Friday night. the list inst,
in the High School gymnasium,
amid the r-a-h! r-a-h! rah! rah!
rah! the High School class taught
some very important points in the
game to the boys of the Jackson
(Tenn.) High School team. Begin
ming at 8, with a fair-size crowd,
our boys were never in doubt as to
the result, altho the visitors put up
a good stout game, which at times
was very swift by both teams. There
Should be three times as many people
to see such games, for they are very
interesting and easily understood.
You will see life in boys who you
seldom see in hurry, but against
swift players like the Jackson boys,
they sure have to use the ginger.
The score was U. G. H. s. 80; jack
son High IT. The visitors wont for
get Whitson, Richards. Williams
and the other boys for several days
to come, for they were certainly in
the game for Union City. Come
again boys.

Little Myrtle johnson.

A few days ago Mr.. John Holt, of
Number Two, was In the city and
spoke to us of the fact that little
Myrtle Johnson, whose mother lives
in the vicinity of Beulah, was now
enjoying fine health and physical
strength. 1t will be remembered
that, about two years ago, the little
girl, then about three or four years
old, was in the Physicians and Sur
geons Hospital here under the care
Of Mrs. Williams and the local physi-
clans. She was crippled so badly
that she couldn't walk or stand on
her feet. She was sent to the hos
pital by the good ladies of BeuIah
Church, who provided for treatment
and the care of the little girl, One
Of our own people in the HOSPITAL at
the time also remembers how the
little girl lay with one foot tied to
the foot of the bed, leg suspended,
one OF the most patient and cheerful
little people we ever saw. She was
there among strangers, but provided
with dolls and candy. and she passed
the time singing and playing as II
she were on the Fairgrounds with
hundreds OF children. Mr.. Holt tells
us that she is now strong and well
and enjoying life as other children
In normal health. This is written
for the purpose Of assuring the good
people who provided for the little
girl that their kindness has brought
one little soul world of happiness.
