P. H. 5. WINS FROM UNAD1LU
The P. H. S. Basketball teams
boys aud girls won from Unadilla
Friday afternoon ou local court.
Boys bad an easy time defeating
tlio visitor? 48 to 12, with the
seeouii team playing second quart
er. l"Ue girls had quite a different
proposition to handle; for the lass
es from Unadilla offered stiff
opposition. And it was only thru
thii excellent guarding of the Per
ry girls and the ease with which
Mi ri Meyers found the basket
that victory resulted. This girl
registered every point for the home
team liti ia all. The score ended
26 to 16.
Ou Friday night, January 30,
both teams will plhy Vienna in
Vienna. February Gth the boys
will play Coehran High; ou Feb
ruary 13, play Eastman. Both
games on local court. February 20
they go to Hawkiusville for game.
There is some doubt as to
whether Cochran and Eastman
will give us games on out door
court. Arrangements may be made
to play in Fort Valley.
People lets build an athletic
building, one that can be used for
bashctball and gymuasium. This
is the crying need of our towu
now. We have noplace for amuse
ments, no football field, no basket
ball court, no baseball diamond.
These things are just as essential
as many other things we spend our
money for. Other towns not as
prosperous as Perry have them.
Marshallville has an athletic build*
ing, so has Fort Valley, Moute
zuma, Coehran, Hawkinsville,
Vienna,Eastman?every where ex,
oept Perry and Shanty.

EVANS WINS PEACH
' REFRIGERATION CASE
The case of A. J. Evans agaiust
the Central ot Georgia Railway
Company tried in the Houston
Superior Court and concluded hero
last Friday was decided in favor
of the plant ill.
The suit was brought by A. J.
Evans to recover from the Rail
road Company, claiming damages
j to the amount of about $J 100-00
i on two cars of peaches shipped in
1923 from Porry and Fort Valley.
Evans alleged that the fruit ar
rived at market in damaged con
dition as a result of poor refrigera
tion. The Jur\ found in favor of
Evans awarding damages to the
amount of $600.00
Thi? principal point at issue was
whether or not a certain type of
refrigerator car, known as a short
car or smaller Bunker Car of 6800
pound ice capacity furnished
adequate refrigeration for the
transportation of the peaches.
A very exhaustive examination
into the method? of refrigeration,
transportation and marketing of
peaches was made and the
testimony of a score or more
witnesses.on each side was heard.
The case was heard before Maloolm
D. Jones and was in progress for
seven days.
General Walter A. Harris, Mr.
John Harris and Messrs Dunoan &
Nunu were attorneys for the Cen
tral of Georgia Railroad while
Messrs. JLt. L. Smith and Grady
Harris conducted the case for Mr.
Evans.
THREE MORE DWELLNIGS BEING BUILT
Mr J. P. Cooper began con
struction last week on the first of
three dwellings which he will
build on the lower end of Ball
street. The dwellings will be for
rent and will help supply the
growing demand for residences in
Perry at this time.
These resideces will be the latest
addition to Ball Street which has
been developing rapidly during
the past eighteen months, nine
dwellings and a plant o* t tie Gulf
Refining Company having been
built on this street during that
time. Another dwelling belonging
to the Perry Hotel has been moved
on this street and is being re
modeled.
The building of the New Perry
Hotel at Main and Ball Street and
the Standard Oil Filling Station
to be buiJt on the opposite corner
will add much more to this section
of the eity.
