CLERKS TO BE EXCUSED FROM 2TO 4.
Since Memorial Day comes on
Saturday and since this is the big
gegt day forth i merchants it was
deemed inadvisable to close the
stores on that day. However, in
accordance with a request from
the Ladies Memorial Association,
the various merchants here kindly
consented to let off those clerks,
who are members of the Quitman
Guards and Boy Scouts, from '2
to 4, that thev may take part in
the parade and exercises at the
cemetery.
Io was feared that it would be
impossible to get a sufficient num
ber of the soldier boy- and scouts
for a public appearance, but the
kindness of the merchants makes
their parading possible
The Memorial Association, as
well as the members of the mili
tary company and the Scouts are
gratefn£to the merchants for
their interest.

the reception was held in Tift

der and gold were artiatica ly used
in the decorations while palms
and potted plants added much to
the beauty of the picture.

into a Japanese tea garden and
was decorated with gorgeous wis
taria blossoms and vines. From
bowers beautifully draped with
wisteria, punch was served by
Misses Nan Logan, Marv Blitch,

BARNESVILLE DEFEATS FORSYTH.
To the tune of about 24 to 10,
the boys of the Sixth District
Agricultural School of Barnesville
put it over the Forsyth boys in a
rather one sided game on Tuesday
afternoon.
It was a raw day and this fact
coupled with the fact that the
Forsyth boys had not been togeth
er for practice, caused the big
score
The feature of the game was
the home run by Means, of the A.
and M. School, a Monroe county
boy.
Bryant and Swilling formed the
battery for Barnesvilie while Owen
and Lancaster and Owen and
Owen were Foisyth batteries.
The Forsyth boys who played
were: Messrs. G. Owen, R. Owen,
Lancaster, Lock, Maynard, Z. L ,
Maynard, I S.. Fletcher, Wlson,
Holland, and Wolf.
With a little more practice and
better team-work, the Forsyth
boys will be able to make a much
better showing.
