We had another fine rain Sunday, lust ing a linos uninterruptedly t lie day. A few more such will make * e corn rinf, arid it will be large in i his sect ion. We had quite a strong wiiUl litre late Monday afternoon—blowing some limbs from trees, etc.—and fora time it t hreatened quite a severe storm, but soon passed over. The News had a most pleasant visit o 1 Friday afternoon last, from Mrs. Richmond Bryant aim Misses an 1 Mamie Burton.

Toccoa is the only town of its size we know of that has absolutely no proteet- Ion against destruction by fire. We certainlv ought to have some sort of fire apparatus 11 here for the protection ut our fiome> and . pi opei . .* »*■ 1 ' 1 steps will be taken at once by our peo- pie to provide something of the kind, If it is thought a regular lire engine and a system Of cisterns would be costlv, we might procure a chemical engine at comparatively little cost, ivhi.h would be very eHeitual m extin- guishingincipient tires. By all means, let us have some sort of fire apparatus.

Toccoa and Clarkesville P*ay Two Innings, Wiih Score 19 0* I, In Favor of Toccoa. | 1 lie came of base ball between Clarks- v,lle . and Toccoa was very interesting but all on Clarkesville’s side, asClarkes- vilie did not cross the home plate ; but once, and Toccoa 19 times, playing only two innings. The boys say it would have been 150 to 1 if they had played the 9 innings. The ffijyins: of Sam Rums,.,- hacked | them so that the catcher threw down ; the mask arid said he would riot catch anot,H ‘ r ball until that 1st baseman shut mouth, i The features of the game, were the heavy batting by Iturnsey. Mosely and : Martin, and a double piny from Wilson to Hayes and from Hayes toXtnmsey. Clarkesville need not brag on their playing when Toccoa is on the diamond with them. \v> would like for Clarkesville to come to Toccoa and have a game. We wili play 3rd nine, and will venture to say it will be tight. F. A Delightful Occasion. lhe entertainment ^ given . . by Miss .
