SAD DEATH OF YOUNG
LADY NEAR DRAYTON
Kiss Graver Ms
Drayton, Ga., July- 15.—On
Friday morning the ia inst, Miss
Grover, the daughter .of Mr, A.
Wells, passed into that, beautiful
realm beyond after a short illness.
The immediate cause of <her death
was pneumoniu.
Death is always sad, but for one
to die just-enteririg.intothe morning
of life—just passing the 18th mile
post along lifes journey—just when
life is happiest, sunniest, when all
is promises of radiant sunshine—
it deepens the sadness and ititensi-'
fies the grief. Miss Grovers demise
is mourned by a father and large
family of brothers and sisters, and
lamented by numberless friends.
She was a family favorite, and,
while the torch of the burning fever
scorched her brow, 'fathers loving
hands, brothers and sisters alike,
kindly and tenderly, ministered, to
her every want. Sad indeed, but
‘’death loveth a shining mark,”
God directeth all things for the
best, and He whose mercy is as
great as the Heavens are high above
the earth, and who 1 removeth our
sins from us as far as the east is
from the tyest, is too wise too err.

On last Saturday'afternoon about
dust several negroes were seen with
jugs of whiskey by Marshal G. R.
Mathews and Ins suspicion was
aroused enough to.cuuse him to be a
op the lookout for blind tigers,
thing s soon developed enough to
cause Mr, Mathews to try a little
piece of detective work on one
Anderson Levyis, col. A fifty cent
piece^of silver was marked and
given,to a certain party to go to
Anderson and purchase a bottle of
whiskey, who soon returned with
the whiskey and Marshall Mathews
went directly to Anderson and
arrested him, finding the marked
half dollar on his person. Anderson
was then locked up until Monday
when he was taken out under bond
by Mr. T. A. Ammons to await
trial, ,
This was a clever trick Marshall
Mathews worked in patching up
with a violuter of the local option
law, und it has made him many
friends.

VIENNA DEFEATS
PLEASANT VALLEY
In an Exciting and Interesting Game ot
A match game of baseball was
played in Vienna Monday afternoon-
between Pleasant Valley and' the-
second nine of this city.
The Pleasant Valley team arrived
m town on schedule time and the
Vienna boys were in readiness to
give them a severe defeat, but it
took ten innings as the score was
18 and 18 at the close of the ninth
inning. In the tenth inning the
Vienna'beys made five runs and
Pleasant; Valley two, thus making
the store .23 to 20 in favor of
Vienna. Score by innings:
Vienna-3 o a, 11 22000 5—33
P. V.—^ 00026 230 2—20
As an excuse for the close game
and the latge number of- runs made'
the Vienna boys say that 3 o’clock
was an hour too early to have com
menced playing as it was too hot.
The Pleasant Valley players say
they only needed a little more
practice. 1
A secqnd game will be played
soon on the Pleasant Valley dia
mond and an exciting game* is
expected as bath teams will be
strengthened. 1
The Pleasant Valley team played
a pretty good game not to have
been thmiliar with the new rules.
The result of the second game will
be awaited with much interest.
