BLAKELY,
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Duke and son,
Johnny Byrd, left Saturday night for
[Chimney Rock, N. C., where Johnny
Byrd ■will enter the boys’ camp at
that place for the remainder of the
summer.
Blakely friends will be pleased to '
learn that the family of Mr. D. B.
Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. Ben C. [
Johnston have removed to Blakely to
make their home. They are occupy
ing the house next to the home of [
Mr. R. H. Stuckey, on River street.
Blakely celebrated the nation’s [
| birthday rather quietly. Practically
every store was closed. Our people
either staid at home or visited near
by towns. Our colored citizens, how
ever, pulled a big celebration, in
cluding a picnic, a baseball game and
a dance. The baseball game between
Blakely and Donalsonville resulted in
a victory for Blakely by the score of
7-6.
The Blakely baseballists, players
i and fans, were considerably disap
pointed Tuesday when the East Al
bany boys failed to show up to play
the game billed for that date. Five
of the Albany lads showed up about
4 p ,m. The remainder of the bunch
i probably lost their way, as they
I never turned up. The Cuthbert team,
said to be an excellent one, is billed
for a game here this afternoon.
Mrs. J. D. Smith and children and
Miss Lucille Reagan have returned
from a month’s stay at Cookeville and
Shelbyville, Tenn. They were join
ed here Tuesday by Mr. Smith, and
they are all leaving this week for
Savannah, where they will make their
home in future. Blakely reluctantly
loses this excellent family, and their
friends here wish for them prosperity
and happiness in their new location.
