BLAKELY HI STARTS FOOTBALL PRACTICE The football squad of the Blakely High School have already started light football practice. So far the boys have no uniforms or other equipment, but a determined effort wil! be made to equip them in good style before their first game. The local eleven hopes to open th: football season in Blakely on September 19th if they can arrange a game with the Cuthbert Hi. The Randolph county boys intend to ven ture on to the football gridiron this fall for the first, time. ■ ..arles Tarver, manager of the Hla 1 idy HI football squad has al ready closed a game with the Do than Hi in Dothan on September 26, this for a cash guarantee and supper. It will be remembered that Dothan Hi trimmed the Blakely Hi in the first game the local boys ever play ed. This was in the fall of 1921, the score being 48-0. The “Golden Streak” fully intend to make a bet ter showing this time. No contribution was assed from Blakely last year, but the ooys have simply got to have equipment this time. Blakely HI has also closed a game with the Eufaula Hi in Eufaula on October 3rd. This is a return game, paying back the Alabama boys for a game here last year. Blakely won that Time 20-6. Here’s hoping our boys w ill win again. The Blakely manager is in com mtini Lion with the high schools or Albany, Bainbridge, Dawson, Cuth bert, Shellman, Doerun, Donalson ville, Americus, Lumpkin and Mar ianna, and hope to report a full schedule by the opening of school. Quite a large bunch of boys are reporting for practice. Prof. E. E. McCarty, Jr., will take active charge of the coaching until the return or Prof. Mangham, who has been quite sick. It looks like a big year for the Blakely Hi in football, and the boys are very enthusiastic. Anoth t recruit to Blakely Hi is Tom Howell, who played quarterback last year. Tom should prove a val uable man this year. Huihdinger next Wednesday, Sep tember H)th, 9 to 7 o’clock.

Next Sunday morning is expected to be a record-breaker in the Bap tist Sunday School. Rally-day exer cises will be held, a good program by the little folks will he rendered in addition to the regular lesson, which is on FAITH, based on the Scripture narrative of the healing of the nobleman's son. A challenge was issued by the Business Men’s Class to the Young Men’s Bible Class, which was ac cepted promptly, and each class is quite active in their efforts to win the contest. The proposition is that the Business Men’s Class is to have twice the number present, and to double the special offering of the Young Men’s Bible Class on next Sunday. The Dorcas Class is also tn competition with the combined Fidcl is-Daughters of Ruth Classes, and it is expected that there will be an unusual attendance. As a part of the program the pas tor will present the Awards for the special Study Course work that was done at the recent Encampment at Bluffton. Blakely is far ahead of the other churches in the number of awards as will be seen by the re port published elsewhere. Regardless of what class you should be in, or what Sunday School you should attend, should not all the people, not only in Blakely, but all over the county, make this —the first Sunday in September—a real GO-TO SUNDAY-SOHOOL-DAY? And starting, can we not keep on going? ATTENTION, WOODMEN! Woodmen of the World Home Com ing Campaign extended 60 days. Lapsed members take advantage of this opportunity to re-instate free. J. R.
