V „ IN FAST GAME
m
(By EMILY BOYD)
Griffin High defeated Newnan
High, 3-p, at Lee Park in New
nan Friday afternoon in one of the
most hotly contested game of the
1924 season.
Both teams fought hard and
played a clean game but the visit
ors were a little too much for
Newnan. Time and again each
team threatened to score a touch
down but the opposing line tight
ened and the ball went over on
downs. *
The last quarter was mostly
played in Griffin's territory and
Newnan made their most deter
mined drive of the day, but lack
ed the punch to put it over, as
Griffin’s line was holding. The
game ended with the ball in the
visitor’s possession on their own
25 yard line.
Homer Key Star. 2
Homer Key was the outstanding
star fpr Griffin. His $0 yafd run
from scrimmage was the feature
of the game. He scored d
field goal late in the second quar
" to; for the only points of the
,
giitie. His deftensivb play waa exr
cellent, as time and again he
threw a runner who seemed about
to get away for, a long gain. ,

Cotton Letter
New York, Nov. 1.—With New
Orleans observing a holiday and
Liverpool closed befofe our open
ing, trading here was within nar
row bounds today. After an early
decline ©f 10 to 15 points, in sym
pathy with Liverpool,, our prices
closed practically unchanged from
yesterday. There seems a disposi
tion to await further returns from
gine, in view of reports that cot
ton continues to make in some sec
tions. For that reasoh further in
crease in the government crop
estimates may be expected in the
next bureau. t
While we do not believe in sell
ing on declines, we continue to
advise sales on good rallies.
Holiday on all markets Tuesday,

Found Love and
Happiness
By DUFORD JENNE
His team shied suddenly, stopped,
and blew through their nostrils.
• Uncle Jasper" checked his uneasy
horses and stared ahead. He
could see something white and
sprawling the Toad, In partly outline, In lying partly
in the grass.
He scrambled from his rickety
seat, and limped forward, then bent
with a startled cry over the form
of a girl. fatntSd.
i She’s trying to get some
water at the spring!” he muttered.
“But what’s she doing way op here
like this alone?”
He hurried to the spring, wet
his handkerchief and bathed her
temples. She shudder, regained conscious
ness with a and then with
a low moan caught his arm, gasp
ing, “Where—where am ir

ed. Cat into the wagon an’ I'll give
ye a her lift,” he said gently, waiting
for to pally.
He guided her to a comfortable
seat beside him, and they started
on, and into a mystery he felt
would deepen.
She was nothing more than a girl,
but his cautious questioning hints
as to how she happened where he
found her drew no reply Other than
a low, “I was pretty tired, and I
tried to walk up from the river;
and It was so warm I—I feinted, I
He aooa made ap his mind that

“I went to go to Mr. Newton’s,”
she SMweied doubtfully.
He started. “Why, that's 'way
up on the Oxhob road—miles from
here r * ,
He heard her catch breath
In ,a low sob. and his old heart
w a r m e d to her. “Now, look here,
you're all tired out. I’ll leave the
mall, and you come home with
me. Mother'S be gled to have some
one to talk to 'eept m hr i
change.”
So It came about that, ■ half
hour later, he led aid her Into the
kitchen of his cozy home and
Introduced her to the -anlling
motherly old lady who greeted
them.. -
“Mother, here’s a lass that needs
a good supper and a good rest," be
said gently.
He and the girl then made way
with Mother Tate's pleasing sup
per. He conld see that she Was
desperately hungry and as desper
ately tired. Afterwards; he turned
her over to his wife, and went to
the bam to look after his horses.
The next morning, early, he
called Newton on the telephone,
and Newton answered coldly after
he heard the newa “I know who
she is; she’s the girl my Uncle Bert
adopted. He died last week. We
didn’t have anything to do with
him, and we didn’t want anything
to do with her! Tell her so I"
Bang went- the receiver.
“Uncle” Tate stared at the
’phone. “I see—1 see—well, yon
don’t have to have her, by gum!"
Before the girl came down, he
told the news to the wife. sdA she
agreed to break It to the girl.
When he came In for breakfast,
he found that peace had come, al
though the frail, pretty girt who
looked at him with tender eyes
showed that she was suffering.
“She’ll stay with us, Jasper, to
help me, until she’s stronger," his
wife said, smiling. “Her name is
Ruth—the name of our girl.”
A week went by, and she seemed
to grow more frail. “Too much on
her mind,” the old man thought
The plan that popped into Jas
per’s head he put into prompt ex
ecutlon. He drove to the village
store, called the pleasant-faced
young owner out back.
He told Ruth’s story, then said,
“Now, Bob, come over, see If you
can’t cheer her up. You’re a
pretty good-lookin’ lad. an’ a fine
one, too. Twon't do any harm If
you make a little love to her—jest
friendly like, you see."
<« Sure, I’ll try to cheer her
Uncle,” Bob up.
agreed readily.
Uncle Tate was away during the
day, but he followed the experiment
with keen Interest. Bob called for
her In hl« car, took her with him
on trips; and Jasper saw a new in
terest take hold In her life Her
dark eyes brightened, a little color
crept into her cheeks.
One evening, as he drove into
the yard after his long trip, he
glanced through the window Into
the kitchen, Bob had* Ruth In his
arms and was kissing her.
He hitched his team and hurried
in. His chance was ready. He
faced Boby’s happy, clean-cut face.
“Now, look here. Bob, when I
asked you to come over and be
good to her—and make a little
harmless love to her—I didn’t mean
to play with her—fool her I I just
saw you kissln’ her; an’ It’s a low
down trick!” Jasper said with
heat.
Bob’s face went from astonish
ment, stark and staring, to a slow
smile, He said gently. “Uncle. I
started out as you said; but It’s
different now. I love her.” he add
ed quietly. “I Just told her, and
she’s gone up to gat Mother Tate
and Yell her, and we were going to
spring it on you I"
Then In the doorway appeared
Mother Tate, her arm over Ruth’s
shriulder. Mother Tate’s eyes were
shining with happiness, and the
girl’
Jasper took one look, and then
he thought to himqelf: “I guess
