Congratulations to our local players for their success in winning this spirited game. By the way, it is my opinion that these same basketball players deserve an extra commendation for always “sticking in the game,”” no matter how heavy the opposition. Many times have they fought against odds and given all they had with out receiving a singtle word of public praise. Here's good luck to you boys! The friends of Mr. W. R. Tuck and family greatly sympathize with the loved ones in their great bere avement on account of the death of Mr. Tuck, Thursday afternoon. With the passing of the beloved Wiilliam R. Tuck into the great be yond, one of Clarkes county's old est and most useful citizens has made his departure from this earth ly existence. TFor many years, he belonged to our community, tak ing active part in all religious and civie activities, Most of his life was spent in his suburbanp home near Winterville, until a few years ago when he and his daughter, Miss Lilla Tuck, moved to Athens. Several children, grandchildren and other relatives, most of whom are living amongst our people, survive this old Christian gentleman who had spent 88 years distinguishing himself in the minds and hearts of those who knew him by his serv iees to his fellowman. He was one of our bravest Confederate veter ans. His life’s work is ended but his eternal spirit will linger in our midst while he receives his final reward around the heavenly throne, - MRS.
