PLAY IN BEN- * EOT BANE “Buddy” Williamson, Bill Waldron And Sid Holland Prove To Be Features in Came Played in Atlanta. o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o— i 0 GLENN 0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—A Three of the old LuG,range stars took part in the benefit gume played in Atlanta September 1!). They were "Buddy" Williumson, Bill Wuld- ron and Sid Holland and all three proved to be stars in the game and received favorable mention in the Atlanta papers. “Buddy” pitched a feature game, allowing only tivu hits and not a single free pass. Besides this he fanned six batters and handled one put-out and four asists without an error. The Atlanta Journal wrote the game up in "do Koichor Lingua" and Ims the following to say about the LaGrange twirler: "And dey ain’t no flies on dat boy Williamson neither, dat dey calls “Bubber." Die “Bubber" wuz a pitch er for l.orgrunge dis season, and if be coulda got 'em over ull de time for dem bushers like he did Saturday, ne woulda come mighty near puttin' dat league on de bum. Dey got to him in jest one innin’, and scored one run. which was enough to win wit' de way Lybertson was goin\ but de game “Bubber” pitched woulda lnnd- ed him de winner nine times out ten. Tommy Long busted him for two hits, but den jest look who Tommy is. Dat guy hit more’n .300 in do league, so why wouldn't he hit dat kid. But at dat "Bubber” sawed him on his llrs’ time up." Sul Holland played on the team opposing “Buddy” and it does not reflect any dishonor upon him to state that he did not secure a hit. He played second base in his usual style, securing three put-outs and four as sists without a single bobble. The fol lowing is clipped from The Atlanta Constitution about Sid: “Splendid fielding, in which Sid Holland, at second base, led, featured tbr play ing. He puller! several spectacular catches at the keystone.” Bill Waldron was lined up with “Buddy” and his record in the game speaks for itself. Out of four times at bat Bill secured two of the five hits for his side and has three as sists without an error credited to him. FALL GARDEN.

President Wilson has issued a pro clamation calling upon the people of the United States to pray for the peace of Europe, und setting the duy of Sunday, October 4, as the date for such concerted petition. For the assistance of any who may care to use it, V submit the follow ing prayer for the world: Almighty Gpd, Thou art He that ruleth the heavens, the earth, and the hearts of men. Forgive the sins of pride, or ha tred, und of anger, of which the world is guilty. . . Teach us to love justice and not power, service and not rule, helpful ness and not rivalry. Enlighten the minds of the people, so that they will not allow the few to dispose of the lives of the many. Bring about the triumph of govern ment by the people, of the people, and and for the people all over the earth. Cure the curse of class and caste and establish in nations’ councils the valu'e of every human soul. Rebuke and renfovc them that an- vise war, glory in war, and make in struments for war. Hasten the day of world federation and co-operation. May there speedily be but one army and one navy, to keep the wori* ,1 peace, and may all nations ground - | arms. , , Reveal to me that the enfeebling or the destruction of one nution works harm to all, and that the prosperity of one is the prosperity of all. Destroy race hatred and revenge, ami teach the nations to esteem each other. So bring home to men s bosoms tho crime, tho folly, und tho waste of wur that they muy allow no nation to prepure for it. May men obey always and every where Thy! command, "Thou shult not kill!" Remove those dead ideas and life- loss old beliefs that chain the world to the stupidity of militarism. Destroy all passions that separate nations, and bring them into mutuul love. , , , Comfort and bless the wounded and sick, the widows and orphans, the ruined and desolate, victims of the world’s great crime. Forgive this wicked and ignorant world. Almighty God, end soon this war, and so lead us into common sense that we shall never have anoth er. Let humanity and justice so pre vail that all men and nations every where shall work for and with each other; then "Shall all men’s good Be each man’s rule, and universal , peace. Lie like a shaft of light across the land. And like a lane of beams athwart the sea, Thro’ aii the circle of the golden year.” rom the Centreville Press. Fall gardens can greatly relieve the tuation and every farmer and ten- nt should look after this at once. NOTICE.

ROBERT HUTCHINSON, Assistant Cashier. he Troth about Paint The value of paint can only be measured by the length of satisfactory service h gives. A building painted with Keg Lead and Oil Hand-mixed Paint or ordinary ready- mixed paint never looks well, and the results from this class of paint are never satisfactory. In a short while your property will look as if it had not been painted for years. To use cheap paint is a waste of both paint and iabor. Don’t waste your money on unknown, untested brands. Remember, painting is an investment, not an expense—therefore use the paint that stood the test of time— ’The Kind That Lasts" MASTIC PAINT ~ The Kind That Lasts” It is the product ol more than forty years' experience, and is guaranteed by the makers, Peas lee-Gaul be rt Co., Louisville, Ky.
