I ELECTRIC CURRENT RATE FOR HEATING ANNOUNCED TO FORT VALLEY PEOPLE Another high mark of Fort Valley | progS in public service for which present and prospective residents may ■ give warm thanks today is set in the ■ announcement which The Leader ■ Tribune is authorized by Dr. H. M. ■ Copeland, chairman of the Water and I I tha^ Light board, to make, to the effect means have been developed K whereby a special rate of five cents I will now he given on current for I heating purposes. This announce [ ment, which comes quickly upon the HETIC BATTLE IS LOST FRIDAY By JIMMIE FAGAN, JR. Snarling at the defeat handed them on Tuesday night of last week by the fr'^t Montezuma quintet, the local Hi team journeyed down Friday night to play the Queener boys a return game with the determination of bringing home the meat, but the Montezuma boys were anxious to retain what they had captured and by 1 lone field goal se X. the Peach county lads back home with their heads bloody but not bow ed. For thirty-five minutes the local team fought like demons and had their opponents 15 to 13 with but a few seconds to plfcy. Two Extra Periods Played Victory looked to be a certainty but just four and three-puarters sec onds before the pistol fired Mr. De Vaughn rang a field goal from the of the court, thus tying the K [Score. Aii extra three minutes-period w.-. played without either team scor¬ ing. That was the roughest basket¬ ball played during that period that the writer has ever seen, The ref eree might know basket ball but back in the dark ages when the writer ■was an all Southern forward for Fort Valley Hi we didn’t play that rough. That was long before any science was applied to the game. Harris Hafer Stars t Fort Valley presented a new line • ' jB^gainst Montezuma in this game, with Little Murray and Nichols for¬ wards, Carithers center and Murray aii» H4fer guards. The last named is th* 'Jiidget of the team but he was alXft the largest man on the floor Friday night when it came to defend ing Fort Valley’s Goal. A large audience witnessed the game but the writer is a little | curious to know why some of the fac ulty go that far to see their home team play and then pull for the other side, just because they were connected ^ith that school last year. The facul of Fort Valley Hi and also the j grammar school should at least pull for their team. j I H. & I.

During the past three years Fort Valley H. & I. has lost only two games and both were to the strong Tuskegee eleven. management of the Fort Val ley High & Industrial School takes tV s opportunity to thank the friends for their support and also the Peach Blossom Festival Association for per . f itting them to use the park. ®he Read by thousands of people in progressive PEACH, Houston, Macon a nd Crawford Counties, where Nature smiles her brightest. heel' of enlargements of the water and light plant, will carry hapiness into those homes that desire to use elec tricity for cooking and other pur poses. It must be remembered, how ever, that special meters will have to be installed before the special heat¬ ing rate can be enjoyed. Dr. Copeland states that the Water and Light board contemplates the in¬ auguration of a further special rate for power current at an early c}ate. LAST ROUND OF T AX COLLECTOR T. E.
