Well all thirty-seven of us journey ed down to Marshallville last Tuesday night to help our boys defeat the asparagus town boys. After waiting forty minutes for a referee coaches Smith and Wight decided to pick them a separator out of the audience as the fans were becoming—a little impatient and the writer’s feet were becoming a little cold. Mr. Cook was the man selected to referee and a very good one he made. : Marshallville Scores First I The Marshallville quintet took cl _ l oa d on Fort Valley early in the game j and scored two field goals for four points. Then and there the Valley boys tightened down and tied the score. Marshallville took the lead again by shooting a foul but Nichols soon knotted it again. The Smith boys were way off in their ringing the basket but they were right enough to defeat Marshallville IS to 13. Bill Carithers might be called the Nick Altrock of the indoor sport for he is for ever making some wild swing with the ball thus causing his opponents to wondefc/what he is go¬ ing to do. He is the best defensive guard in the peach belt. The writer is anxious to see the ; students of Fort Valley Hi secure a nick name for the Fort Valley quin tet. Say, hold a contest and pick the best name sent in. You never learn much from anyone whom you can read like a book. ! Most people worry because they either are married or are not married.

Its wide range of colors and varieties, its blooming period that includes all but the winter months and its ease of cultivation make it easily the favorite. No garden is complete without them and for this reason landscape gardeners invari¬ ably include them in their home plant¬ ings. While the wise is very adaptable it ■ likes best an open exposure, a well well fertilized clay-base soil and frequent cultivation. Set the plants in a hole of ample size an inch or two deeper than they were before. Press the soil down firmly about the roots and water them thoroughly. Then fill the hole not quite full of more soil adding a mulch of leaves or straw. If the plants are not already pruned, cut out the weak branches and cut off the strong ones six to ten inches (de-: pending on size) from the ground. Of the many varieties that have been grown successfully in Fort Val¬ ley the following are recommended: I White—Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, I Fral) K;lr j Druschki, Bride, Cornelia Coo!;, Maman Cochet.

This game is to be played the Fort Valley court and is in reach of every man, woman, boy and girl in Fort Valley and the suburbs. The Fort Valley High team has been , feated twice this season by the Montezuma Aces and if you are will ing to see Montezuma get their Water¬ loo just come out. and see Duke of I Wellington Nichols, with his staff composed of H. Murray, H. Hafer, R. Murray, and Wm. Carithers,] strut their stuff at the expense of eon Haugabrook and his congress of Mr. DeVaughan, Riddle, Vincent and Lockerman. The last game with Montezuma re¬ quired three extra sessions to decide the victor but the locals h^ve decided that only thirty-two minutes of actual play is all that will be neces¬ sary for their victory. We feel sure that Mr. Jimmie Fa Jr., the former All Southern Forward, can be assured that the whole faculty will pull for their team. | .lames Cruse’s ‘Pony Express’ at Franklin The widely heralded and long ex pected western special. “The Pony E f p ; ess ’’’ which James Cruze direct ' ed for Paramount, with a brilliant cast of several thousand players, head¬ ed by Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Ernest Torrence aqd Wallace Beery, will make its local debut at the Franklin Theater next Tuesday to run through Wednesday and Thursday.
