Every red blooded patriotic citizen has a desire to be in Union City Saturday, which will be Parker-Wilson Day. This
big event is in memory of. the first white settlers to Obion County. Elisha Parker settled in the northeast part, of which
is now Obion county, in 1819. In the following year Col. William M. Wilson, with his family, located about 3 miles
southwest from Troy. Col. Wilson was an energetic, progressive pioneer. Obion county was organized at the home of
Col. Wilson, which he built of logs. The first court in Obion county was held at his house. The noble and progress
ive ideas of Col. Wilson are held dear to every heart in Obion and Lake county, which was a part of Obion county
until 1870. Make your plans now to be here on this big day and bring your family and friends. Come early and

Neel, principal, and Ruth Woody,
assistant teacher, feel that they have
not labored in vain as they recall
some jof the splendid work done by
tne pupils there. The enrollment for
the term was 152. We should be

build up a high school there.
On April 14 an entertainment was
given for the benefit of the school

night, the program was successfully
rendered.
