FATS vs. LEANS!
GAME OF BALI, THAT DROVE
DULL CAKE AWAY !
On Thursday afternoon an amus
ing game of base hull came off at the
new park near the depot. It was
a contest between the light and heavy
weights —The Fat! and Leans. The
game had been arranged for Friday,
and was changed with the hope that
the sun would remain hid behind the
clouds, hut in this all were disappoint
ed, as Old Sol got on a full head of
steam and become brighter and wann
er as the hour for play drew near. —
At 4:20 the game was called by Mr.
W. B. Lee, who had kindly and at
the risk of his life, consented to act
as umpire, and although he had only
fifty shells loaded with buckshot, two
shot guns, a wagon standard and a
pair of scythe blakes, the large crowd
of ladies ami gentlemen present wore
confident that he would save himself
and get hack home alive for he wore a
light pair of shoes, had stationed him
self amid the thickest part of the
crowd, was thoroughly acquainted
with the short cut swamp-line route
to town and was never in better run
ning order. Otto Stallings, the scor
er, had loaned Frank Hutchins his
belt to use as a garter, hud his coat
off and was ready for a foot race at a
moments notice. As the Fats and
Leans came forth rigged out in knee
pants and comical costumes the audi
ence greeted them with hearty ap
plause full of fine good humor.
“those fats.”
The Leans took the field, and the
first representative of the Fat and
handsome nine to hat was Sheriff 11.
j B. Anderson, who hit the ball a rous
ing lick and lit out for the first base
with his 206 pounds of human per
fection. On his way to home plate
he was blowing and puffing to such a
rate that the noise of a passing freight
train could hardly be heard. Bran
was editor in-chief of first base.
Next came Tax Collector A. 11. S.
Davis, who sawed the air and retired
with the satisfaction of knowing that
his reputation for activity and fast
running had been fully established in
a race with a stump tail water mocca
sin at Cedar Shoals during the freshet
in June. When necessity demands
Stephens'can fairly fiy, on land or in
the water. He had charge of center
field.
The third striker was ex-Mayor T.
D. Guinn, who was playing until Mr.
( hes Guinn could get off from the
depot. As it, Ris custom he was a lit
tle slow in getting ready, hut as usual
when once ready he is there to stay.
It was easy work to hit the hall but
it took hard labor to make the run. —
Tom played first until catcher “Cites”
arrived in the third inning.
P. F. Hutchins came forth ns the
fourth striker and in his eagerness to
knock the cover off the hall, got out.
He played shot stop like a “profesh.”
George Deimard came to hat fifth,
hit safe and galloped around to 2nd
on hook and ladder time, which is 75
yards in 75 minutes, or thereabouts.
George had full swing in right field.
Marshal 11. I. Horton had eat near
a peck of soft poaches and a few mel
ons and was in fine running order,
lie tickled the hall and left on sched
ule time for Ist base. Henry was in
charge of left field.
Edward Fowler came seventh and
while trying the fancy act by waiting
for balls and fanning the air in order
to get in two men lie himself got out.
E<l pitched a fine ball, dies Guinn
holding him well.
Thus coded the first inning for the
Fats, having scored two runs. Space
prevents giving every inning in full.
J. J. (Rough) Griffin came first to
hat in second inning. He measured
the distance between bases with his
eye, took a chew of tobacco and then
fixed himself to knock a home - run.
Three times he winked, smiled twice,
and then struck out. lie was boss at
3rd base, playing that position with
the same grace and ease as at the hat.
W. H. Evans came next and plac
ed himself in position to knock a 3rd
bagger, and seemed astonished when
he missed the hall three times. Bill
had a lien .on .second base and played
it exceedingly well.
Another Fat man had the grease
fried out of him and retired on three
strikes, going out with a white-wash.
“THEM LEANS.”
Robert L. Mobley, catcher for the
Leans, was first to bat. His knees
were skaking hut his will was firm,
lie pawed the dirt with his left foot,
and struck out.
Next to hat was a long, Jean, box
anklcd, hungry looking specimen of
humanity, named Si. Hawkins, who
played short-stop, and managed to h;,t
the ball and score a run.
1 Then came pitcher L. L. Owens,
who, calm and serene and with a two
buse hit look in his eyes, took deliber
ate aim three times mid sawed out.
\V. B. Yancey hurried to the bat,
struck out and hurried out in the dia
mond to keep the 2nd base warm.
The Leans retired from tho first
inning with 11 dry grins and 1 run.
First baseman, O. D. Butler, was
first to hat in 2nd inning and made a
safe hit and a solid run.
John M. Aaron, right fielder was
so much encouraged by tho applause
of some urchins who had been hired
to “hollow" for the Leans, that ho
gave up the ghost at first base.
Dr. J. ('. Clark, third base man, hit
n good lick and being light and no
tice managed to reach 3rd, but was
put out on account of a mistake in
the number of man out.
Captain Hargrove, who rumor says
was here before the flood, had his legs
spliced so they wouldn’t break, came
forth to the slaughter and went down
on three strikes. The Captain was the
old reliable, sure and certain to get
out man of the nite. He was center
fielder and tried to catch halls in his
derby hat. He is* dear old daisy.
James Glass, left field r, had been
weeping over the departure of Wal
j ter Lee to Brunswick, and had no
j heart to play, besides he didn't care
I to hurst the ball anyway.
B low will bo found the score with

This game was only played for the
amuseqient of the people, and several
hundred ladies and gentlemen went
out to see it. It was full of fun from
the first inning to the last. The play
ers were weighed on the depot scales,
in uniform, at the close of the game,
hence the “shrinkage” in the weight
of some of the players. We under
stand the second game will Conte olf

Death of Miss Denis Bagby.
At five minutes to six o’clock, Monday
j afternoon, July 22, the soul of Miss Dbnie
Bagby winged its {light from this earth to
j a better land beyond the stars. She fell
I asleep in the arms of Jesus with a smile
I upon her sweet face She had confessed a
! Hope and did not fear to die. It was hard,
| she said, “to leave Papa and sister Lucie,’
| hut aside from that death had no terrors
whatever for her.
Miss Denie was the eldest daughter of
Mr. R. W. Bagby, and would have been 20
years old had she lived to Nov. 20th. She
had been in feeble health since May last,
and through all her hours ol pain and sick
ness she offered no complaint, but bore her
afflictions with patience and Christian for
titude. She was one of the best young la
dies we ever know, always modest and una
surning, always kind, generous and com
panionable, possessing a gentle disposition,
with sweet face and fair form, she made
friends all along life’s journey and was be
loved by all who knew her. She was the
pet and pride of a devoted father’s home
and a loving sister’s heart. It i* difficult
now to pay a fitting tribute to her memory.
Tuesday afternoon her remains were laid
to rest by the side of her sainted mother
who had been summoned Home two short
years ago. Impressive fune.ral services
were held at. the Methodist church and at
the grave, conducted by Rev. W II La-
Prade, who was called from ministerial du
ties abroad, by telegraph, lie having left
Miss Denie only a short while before she
her last. May flowers of beauty
ever bloom upon her grave. Our people,
one aud all, condole with Mr. Bagby and
his only remaining child, Miss Lucie* in
their season of sorrow and distress over
the demise of hkr “who was all the world’’
to them.
TEMPERANCE.
! Mr]' hit Dcpar'iurut is under the con
trol and I simgemi-nt of The Woman's |
Christian Temperance Union of Georgia. I
Mr. Editor : —lt is conceded In
all that woman is the greatest sufferer
from the liquor traffic, nud realizing
as we do, tho mighty power of the
press in shaping the sentiments of a
people, how can wo sit longer “idly i
waiting" for the good tin'll of our
county to do all tho work? Let us
rally from our lethargy and go to
work, and thus fulfil the object of our
creation in t>eing true helpmates in
every good word and work.
It is our desire to keep this column
filled with short pithy extracts and
original matter bearing upon the most
momentous issue of the day—the tem
perance question. It shall be our aim j
to educate public opinion up to the
standard of total abstiueuce for the j
individual, and total prohibition fori
the State. We also desire, from time]
to time, to set forth the aims and oh ,
jects of the Woman’s Christian Tern-j
peranee Union. Who that has read
the thrilling story of the birth of the
Woman’s Crusade can doubt that it
j was other than the hand of God that
iuqtelled the Christian women of
southern Ohio to lay aside the preju
dices of education, which had hither
i to relegated woman to the sphere of
home, and to go out into the streets
jto preach the gospel of temperance.
“It was the 23rd day of Dec. 1873,
the women of America sat with their
families talking of the risen Christ, j
What could they do for Him “who
gave gifts unto men?” All at once j
they heard the great undertone of the]
wailing children and weeping mothers
crushed by the liquor traffic. Then a ]
voice sounded above the moaning,
“He releiveth the fatherless and the
widow, but the way of the wicked he
turncth upside down.” God’s hour]
had struck, and they who were last at
the cross and first at the tomb were
ready for duty.”
Since that December morning, 73,
when forty-four timid trembling wo
men filed out of the church at Wash
ington court house, and wended their
way to the drug stores and saloons,
keeping step with the solemn tolling
of the church hells, the W. C. T. U.
had grown to be a mighty factor in
shaping the destiny of our Republic.
That irresistible wave of upheaval
which forced woman into the front
ranks of the temperance conflict, is
gathering strength from day to day,
and is fast developing a nobler gran
der type of womanhood.
The Crusade was begun in prayer,
and in the language of Mary Liver
more, the Woman’s Christian l nion
has never lpsf that first divine inspi
tion which came with pentecostal
fervor.
We now have a membership of two
hundred thousand strong, and our
White Ribbon belts the globe. The
breezes from the far off islands of the
sea —from the Sandwich ls.es, from
Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania,
India, Burma!), Siam, Japan, China,
Ceylon, and from the dark continent
of Africa —come laden with the bril
liant achievements of our temperance
missionary, Mary Clement Leavitt.
In conclusion, we again appeal to
the good men and women of our
county to rally to our standard and
help us battle for Go 1, for our fire
sides, and for humanity at large.

COULD YOU BUT KNOW !
[Written for the Georgia Enterprise.
Sweetheart! could you but know,
I love you us of yore ;
Long the yours since lust wo met,
Vet, sweetheart, I cannot forget—
Could you hut know !
In the gloaming I am dreaming.
Our estrangement is hut seeming;
As I linger near the stile
Where the hours we did beguile
In the gloaming dreaming!
Dark the twilight shadows grow !
O love could you but know,
i Typical they of my heart’s sadness,
i That wq meet no more in gladness—
O dark the shadows grow 1
The autumn leaves fall thick and fast,
Like the hopes of a shadowy past;
Vet, still I dream of the long ago,
The sunny days that come no. more!
Autumn leaves fall fast!
! Still thy “S'a me” it on my heart,
Tho’ stern fate bade ns part;
Yes, through the year’s mystic hays,
i see with longing gaze —
Thy name upon my heart!
In memory thy voice I hear
Thrilling my soul with tones so dear,
While the darkness hides a tear,
That you are no longer near
Memory’s voice 1 hear!
Some sweet day will you know,
When weary pain and life is o’er,
My heart was true to thee,
Even as thine to me—
In Heaven you’ll know!
