The annual Blakely Boy Scout
round-up comes off next Monday
night, to be followed shortly by the

Beve the words of Bawerd Meckhet
in the hope that it wlll cause a lot of
people to attend the Round-up and
then give a big donation for carry
ing on this great character-buiiaing
work: 5
We ave all blind until we see
That in the human plan
Nothing is worth the making
Unless it makes the man.
Why build these cities glorious
If man unbuilded goes?
In vain we build the world unless
The builder also grows,
Excitement prevailed around our
town and county the past Sunday
afternoon, and everybody is still
talking and wondering what caused
the commotion. About 4 o’clock
Sunday afternoon, houses began to
shake and windows began to rattle,
these mysterious noises being pre
ceded by a rumbling roar, kind of
like distant thunder. To date, no
body has come up with a satisfactory
explanation as to the cause of the
mystery. The best explanation is
that it was an earth tremor, although
nobody remembers this section ever
baving been visited by an earth
quake. Of course, there is a first
time for everythng. Some say it
was jet planes breaking the sound
barrier at Fort Benning, and others
say it was caused by heavy guns at
Eglin Air Base, nearly two hundred
miles ‘away. None of which seems
plausible to this column., Mr, B, B.
Godwin probably gave as good an
explanation as has been reported.
Said Mr. B. B.: “It was just Eisen
hower and Benson taking a crack at
the South again.”
If what happened to Uncle Babe
Morgan and his son, Roy, the other
Sunday afternoon is any indication,
Early county is going to have a
bumper crop of quail this season.
Their car hit a big covey just out
side the city limits, and they picked
up three nice, juicy birds. Hope
Ranger Ben Moseley doesn't hear
about this, as his business is sorta
dull and he needs to make a case.
I guess the charges will be killing
birds with an unplugged car.

more games thah it was winning.
Dynamite is a nephew of Walter and
Jack Hayes, two of the best players
Blakely ever turned out.
Talking of football, the big game
comes off Friday night. Blakely vs,
Donalsonville, Neither team is
likely to win any laurels for great
ness, but always when these two
teams meet it is something to see
because of the keen rivalry between
the two. From records to date, the
game is likely to be one to deter
mine last or next to last place, but
nevertheless, it will be one worth
watching, as anything is likely to
happen when the Bobeats and Indians
tangle on the gridiron.
