needed by the press of
' J 5 ''' 1 '"id eitiz.iiaot that burp
to have been the best game ever
played on that diamond. Only 7
one run was made and that by
Milledgeville in the first inning
when two safe hits tallied the win¬
ning run. Norman struck out the
next three men up and from then
on Milledgeville boys on
were as scarce as snow balls in
region of his Satonic Majesty.
Norman was simply invincible and
would have won the game with the
faultless support of the men be¬
hind him, had the umpire given
fair deal.
The boys, one and all,
tbe umpiring was the worst
had ever been up against. Balls
two feet wide of the plate and ovei
tbe batter’s head were called strikes
and any ball knocked within fifteen
feet of either first or third base
lir.es was a foul.
Burt Davis made the finest catch
of a long run ever seen on the Mil
edgeville ground and the grand¬
stand and bleachers rose in mass
and cheered him for at least
minutes.
Carter Franklin was behind
bat anu caught two
games. His aim to second is
deadly as a Winchester at a
yard mark. With more

The second gane of the series
was played Tuesday. A heavy

on the diamond. The score in this
game stood 6 to liu Covington’s
favor. Bush andFrauklin com

The Milledgevil bunch is the

fact that a slow raj began to fall

'OF INTEREST TO

the various sections of the state in
| case of disea8 , d cattle aild pre .
scribe a remedy for the ailment.
This is one of the needs of the
state and as has been pointed out
Georgia is the only Southern State
that does not have a veternary
surgeon.
Diseases among cattle are com¬
mon. Thtf average farmer and
stock dealer knows nothing of
these diseases and in the case of
an epidemic thousands cf dollars
might be saved the people oi the
state by the services of a veter¬
inary surgeon. It is safe to say
that the interest on the invest¬
ment on the total number of stock
lost each year would pay the salary
on the amount it would cost to
empljya veterinary surgeon to
look after and save these stock
The people really need some one
to advise them when their stock
become diseased how to treat them
just as much as they need a fami¬
ly physician.
We are glad to see Representa¬
tive King taking such a broad
view of the duties of the office to
which be was called by r the peo¬
ple of Newton countv. The bill
which he will introduce, we believe
will become a law. The state
owes to the farmers and stock
raisers protection against epidemic
diseases in cattle.

EMORY TO BL'ILD
BIG GYMNASIUM.
The College Will Spend Twenty
Thousand on This Im¬
provement.
Oxford Ga., June 27.—Emory
college will expend about $20,000
iu building and equipping a new
and moders gymnasium on the
college can,pus.
In speakng of tbe new gymna¬
sium today Dr. Dickey, the presi¬
dent of thecoilege, said: "There
is no longer any doubt or uncer¬
tainty as the erection of the
athletic kal. The board of trus¬
tees toqk the matter up at their re¬
cent mating in Oxloid and gave
it thsii hearty support. About
$10,000 of the necessary amount is
already in sight in good subscrip¬
tions and the balance will be forth¬
coming, for Emory’s alumni al¬
ways stands by her. It is very
probable that a meeting of the
building committee, composed of
Captain J. P. Williams, of Savan¬
nah : Mr. A. G. Candler, of At¬
lanta; Mr. W. P. Puttillo, of At¬
lanta; Mr. Geo. Winship, of At¬
lanta, and James E. Dickey, of
Oxford, will be called within a few
days. It is hoped very much that
plans will be adopted at an early
date and the foundation of ihe
new gymnasium for Emory will
be laid before the summer is over.
It will ! e erected, and it is greatly
hoped that every living alumnus
will help do it.”
Death of an Infant.
Mildred Josaphine, the 17
months old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. D. O. Murdock, died Sunday
afternoon at 5:30 after an illness
of several weeks. A prayer service
was held at the residence, conduct¬
ed by Rev. J. H. Pace after which
the body was interred in Westview
cemetery. The grief stricken par¬
ents have the sympathy of the en¬
tire community in their hour of
trouble.
