—Great complaint has been made to

some of their neighbors, w ho are too stin
gy to pay for their comity paper, get the
Bepoutek out of the office, and carry it
home with them, instead of delivering it
to those whom they pretend have re
quested them to call for it. We never
give out the paper to such parties as we
suspect of getting their news in this way,
and we would be under many obligations
to onr subscribers if they would assist us
iu finding them out.
—lf the news' column genius of the
Savannah Advertiser don’t hasten to cor
rect an unpardonable blunder that he
made in his last Saturday’s effusions he
may look out for a challenge to mortal
combat with a dangerous foe—Social
Base Ball Club, of Quitman. In men
tioning the game between the "Wild
cats,” of Williamsburg, Fla., And the So
cials, he gets the cart before the horse
and makes it appear that, the latter were
defeated. It w ill take just half a column,
double leaded, to save you, brother Nich

Since tlio Br.l-oitTF.it last greeted its
readers, our crack club, the Socials, have
been tackled by the Amateurs, of Madi
son, I-’la., and the Planters, of Clifton,
Fla., and, as usual this season, came off
victorious in both games, heating the
Madison laddies by a score of 18 to 10,
and the Clifton boys by a score of 31 to
17.
SOCIALS VS. AMATEURS.
On Thursday morning tho Madison
club made its appearance, and, from ob
servations dropped by the way, wo were
led to believe that onr boys had an up
hill busines before them; hut the keenest
scrutiny failed to detect a single symp
tom of j “ unhappiness ” on the side of the
brave and defiant Quitman Vinll-tossers.
Some little contention arose in the morn
ing, owing to the fact that the Madison
boys wished to play Mr. Caraway Smith,
a member of the Jefferson Club, of Mon
ticello. It was settled, however, by the
Amateurs consenting to play ns the 1 ‘.l m
atenrs, assisted by Mr. Caraway Smith,
of tlie Jefferson Base Ball Club,” and the
game was called at 3 o’clock, with Air
B-no Kay ton, of Savanunh, Umpire.
THE GAME.
Captain Ives lost the “toss,” and the
Socials went to the bat. They succeed
ed iti getting in two scores, when the
Amateurs skipped in and remained un
til they made three. The second inning
tire Quitman boys held on bravely until
no less than five good live runs were
gained, but the Madison laddies were
forced ont with oply one run to show for
it. The third inning gave the Socials
two, will n they walked ont into the field
and deliberately, arid with aforethought,
“whitewashed” their opponents, and
continued to do so for three consecutive
innings. At the close of the eighth in
ning the score stood 13 to 10 in favor of
the Socials, and then came the "tug of
war.” Determination could plainly be
detected in eacli player’s face, and when
the Quitman boys went to the bat tlicj
pranced around until five runs were
scored. Tho Amateurs then swung the
bat with a will, but it was not lo be,
Johnny Finlayson’s hot balls were too
much for them and they were handsome
ly “C'hieagoi-d. ”
The Socials, ns a.clul, did the best
playing they have ever done; but, if a
distinction should be made, it certainly
would give 'Finluyson and Mabl ett the
palm. The former did the finest pitching
we oversaw, putting in his “lightning eh; -
sevs” w ith the utmost precision, and du
ring the entire game only three “balls ’
were called on him, and not a base did he
give a wav. Mabbett., on the first base,
played excellently, and four-fifths of the
“outs” were on the first base. IV iliie
Harris, behind the bat, played well, but
not up to bis usual standard. Ives held
the second base manfully, and Densler,
on third,' was fully up to snuff. The two
Irvines, in the right and loft field, play
ed np to the notch, though they had but
little “fielding” to do. Ed Ive,s, in cen
tre field, though no “flys” were sent
him, did well liy the admirable way in
which he backed up second baseman.
Will Carroll, as short stop, was guilty of
his usual fine playing, and when any
better short stop is wanted he will not be
found hereabouts.
On tho part of tho Amaleitrs, Smith
and Thomas did the finest playing,
though Dickinson and Lipscomb were
uot, far behind.
This was, as the score reveals, the best
game ever played in Southwest Georgia,
and we think the Socials can now well
claim the name of champions. Eight
“whitewashes” in one game is remarka
bly good for amateurs.
Below will be found the score:

SOCIALS VS. PLANTERS,
On last Wednesday evening tho So
cials and the Planters, from Clifton, Fla.,
played n game, which will probably he
the last one of the season for our club.
The game was called at three o’clock, and
lasted about three hours, with Mr. Kny
ton as Umpire. Th e Planter boys play
ed well, and up to the eighth inning the
game was quite close; but, as usual, Fiu
liyson’s pitching did tho work, and the
Socials were victorious by a scoro_ of 31
to 17.

Col. W. 11. lk-nnot having accepted
the position of Professor of Mental and
Moral Philosophy in Young Female Col
lege, will remove with his family to
Thomasvillo next week, prior to enter
ing upon the duties of his new vocation.
Being one of om-oldestand best citizens,
ho lms many friends in Quitman who will
regret to see him remove from their
midst.
Col. Bonnet graduated with distinct
ion at. Mercer University, and taught
school when a young man, during which
time lie read law and was admitted to the
Bar. He moved to Brooks county in
1859, and soon distinguished himself ns
a lawyer nndcommanded a largo practice.
The Colonel is one of tjieso peculiar kind
of men that attend to their own business,
and let other people’s affairs severely
alone, and being the natural possessor of
a very happy disposition, he has made
numerous friends and no enemies.
About eighteen months ago Col. Ben
net, at the request of the Baptist church
at tins place, was regularly ordained a
Minister of the Gospel, since which time
lie has frequently expressed his desire to
abandon the practice of law, nnd wo sup
pose it is mainly with a view of carrying
out this wish that ho has consented to
accept the professorship in Young Fe
nialo Gollege.
It has been but a few months since
Col Bennet retired from the senior edit
orship of this paper, nnd timing the time j
that the writer was associated with him
in that capacity, 1 isjgentlemauly hearing !
and personal kindness endeared him to
us in the strongest lies of friendship.
\Yc shall not only miss the genial, Chris
tian gentlemau, but the fatherly counsel '
of one in whoso mental ability and purity 1
of heart have unbounded eoni'd "oe.
Young Female Coiieg,. has been fortu
nate in procuring the services of Col
Bonnet, Thomnsville has another gooti
citizen, and we trust that in his new
home he may enjoy the full measure of,
happiness and prosperity which lie|soj
richly deserves.

Y’e local took the morning train for
Albany hist Wednesday, and among oth
er passengers alio got on at this point
was the übiquitous Col. Gentry, of Mora
lity News notoriety.
The clever and jocular Tom Lake was
tho conductor of the train, aud when he 1
entered the passenger coach, as a matter
of course, Gentry was the first man to
jump up and shake hands with him. Lie
went oft’in his accustomed style, ala
Chesterfield—
“Ah, good morning, friend Lake; glad
to see you; hope I find you in the full
enjoyment of your usual amount of good
health—give us a chew of tobacco.”
“I’m just ont, Colonel,” said Tom in
broken and almost uuinterpretable lan
guage as he rolled a cud of something,
that he seemed to bo enjoying intensely,
from one side of his mouth to tho other,
“but,” be continued, running his linger
between his ivory teeth and pulling ont
a great long string, “I’ve got some as
good rotum as you ever stuck yer tushes
into. ”
Gentry begged to be excused, folded
himself into a Vj on the nearest seat, and
said he was sleepy.
