BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING OCT. 9, 1924
DONALSONVILLE HI
PLAYS HERE FRIDAY
j
Hot Contest Expected Between j
Two Evenly Matched
Football Teams.
, I
The Blakely Hi "Bob Cats" will j
tackle the Donalsonville Hi here to-1
morrow (Friday). This should be a
real football game, hard fought, and
between teams of about equal
| strength. The Seminole county boys
i lost their opening game to Bain
bridge Hi 44-0, while Dothan Hi 1
trimmed the Blakely boys 18-0. Ac
cording to this, the Blue and Gold
squad should have a little edge on
Donalsonville. However, the De
catur county boys are very strong
this year and no doubt are better
than Dothan. Donalsonville is com
ing expecting to win this Blakely
game to pay back the local boys for
several defeats.
The Blakely boys, on the other
hand, have a well equipped and hard
fighting team. They admit that they
were squarely defeated by Dothan Hi
but are not counting the Eufaula
game, for that was too raw a deal to
count. This week the “Bob Cats”
have been putting in some hard prae
: tice. The scrub eleven has been
• giving the ’varsity all the scrimmage ,
they wanted.
The citizens of Blakely have rallied
| nobly to the support of the high
school boys and the management has
' thereby been enabled to equip the
team well. It is sincerely hoped
I that Blakely will turn out heavily for
this game and see the “Bob Cats” in
action. Nothing helps like real back
ing on the side lines. The local
managers have been criticized for
not bringing more games to Blakely.
The truth is, they were afraid to
do so. Judging from past attendance,
they would not get enough gate re
ceipts to pay the expense money of
the visiting teams. If Blakely wants
more games played here, all they
have to do is to prove it by turning
out to the game.
| The game next Friday will be
j played on the campus of the Blakely
high school and the price of ad
j mission is 25c. This low price has
U. D. C. CHAPTER
IS ENTERTAINED
Make Plans for Bazar During the
Month of December.
The United Daughters of the Con
federacy were entertained Friday af
ternoon from 3 to 5 o’clock, with
Mrs. Lester Camp, Mrs. T. S. Toole
and Mrs. C. M. Baggs as hostesses
at the home of the latter.
The living room was made attract
ive with golden rod, asters and
other fall flowers.
In the absence of the Chapter pres-!
ident, Mrs. T. B. McDowell, the first
vice-president, Mrs. J. H. Moye, pre
sided.
The business session 1 was devoted
to discussing the Bazar which will
be given the first week in December
and which will change the Chapter
meeting to the second Friday, De
cember 12th, instead of the sth.
The following committees will
serve:
CAKE—Mrs. J. H. Moye, chm.,
Mrs. Chas. Smith, Mrs. J. W. Vin
son, Mrs. J. E. Freeman, Mrs. R.
O. Waters.

TO COLLECT THINGS—Mrs. 0.
M. Baggs, chairman, Mrs. W. J.

A. Fuqua, Mrs. McArthur Jones.
The various chairmen are asked
to get busy and plan their work. All
ladies are asked to hunt up scraps
of organdies, laces and silks, which
will make dresses for small dolls.
One of the interesting features will
be a room, to which tickets will be
sold for ten cents. Each ticket will
be numbered and the buyer will find
his number on some article in this
room. It may be a ham, a sack of
sugar or a stick of candy, but it will
be something. The door to this room
will be opened at four o’clock and a
rush is expected.
The Chapter owes 95 dollars on a
scholarship fund and is taking this
method of raising that amount at
once. The patronage of every one
is urged.
At the conclusion of business a
splendid program was rendered:
Sketch: Liberty Hall —Mrs. C. E.
Boyett.
Torch Hill—Mrs. Fitz Fulton.
A social half hour followed, during
which a delicious salad course was
served by Mrs. Toole and Mrs.
Camp. Mrs. Baggs poured tea.
Quite a large number of ladies
were present.
