Throe of the members of the New
York American league baseball team
reached this city yesterday afternoon,
coming from Atlanta, where they had
stopped over for a few days on their
way from Chicago.
The trio that drifted in yesterday is
composed of Ed Sweeney, the big
backstop, Russell Ford, tbe former
Atlanta twirler. jtnd Ed Foster, the
little shortstop of the last season's
Jersey City aggregation, and they are
all in the pink of condition and
ready for the spring" workouts.
Sweeney and Ford have been seen
in the Classic City before, having
been here with the Yankees when
they played the University of Georgia
nine on the campus, hut Foster is a
newcomer. The players stated that
the rest of the squad was due to re
port in New York yesterday and
would reach this city Sunday, to be
ready to go to work on Monday.
The leaguers are not at all worried
over tbe delay in finishing up tin-
park. for Sweeney said last night that
the work for the first week would
consist largely of Umbering up exer
cise and light work, so that there is
no necessity for a finished diamond.
It is probable that the Yankees will
workout for the first week or more on
Herty field and even though Hal
Chase does not coach the Georgians,
the candidates should derive great
benefit from having the league play
ers working on the same field. The

splendid support given them for the
inontb of February. No month for
some seasons has been so resultful in
their special department as the past
twenty-eight days.
March presents four splendid oppor
tunities and this committee desires
the active cooperation of its many
friends, that there may be progress
instead of a letting down of effort.
Mr C. K. Ober, of New York City, has
been secured to address the men’s
meeting at 4 o’clock Sunday.
Mr. Ober is no stranger in Athens
•and will need no Introduction. As a
speaker- he Is unusually charming and
ot such force as Is known to only In
ternational men.
The Glee Club of the association is
•working on several musical selec
tions that will add to their fast grow

The grand lodge of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows of Georgia will
be in this city in May twenty-five
hundred strong. Included in this
number will be the representatives to
the grand encampment, the liighei
branch of the order, which holds its
annual meeting in conjunction with
the grand lodge of the subordinate
lodges, and also the representatives
which will attend the state meeting
of the Order of the Rebeeas. the worn
i’s branch of the order.
The local Udd Fellows, with hearty
sympathy from the other secret or
ders and front the various organiza
tions of the business men and other
Institutions of the city, have boon
planning for this great meeting for
several days.
Following is a list of the officers
and committees to take in hand the
meeting of the grand lodge. I.ot the
people of Athens respond to their ap
peals. Athens knows how to do
things. Every homo in Athens should
turn itself into a hoarding house for
these three days. No entertainment
will be free. They get pay and will pay
their way. but there will he 2.500 of
them and it will take all we can do to
house them. It will be a good idea
for those who will take them to noti
fy tlio committee on homes, stating
how many you can take. This will

FUNERAL OF MRS. TUCK
YESTERDAY MORNING
ernoon. Magnificent
Tribute of Friends.
Yesterday afternoon at four o’clock
the First Methodist church In the
presence of a vast assemblage of sor
rowing friends that crowded that
large auditorium lo the doors, the fu
neral of Dr. David H. McNefll was
held.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful and attested the great love
nnd esteem in which the deceased
was held by his friends.
Tbe casket was bdrne to the chan
cel by the pall bearers. Messrs. J. N.
Webb. John R. White, C. A- Talmadge,
Aaron Cohen, E. B. Cohen, H. J. Waff,
T. F. Tibbetts, W. D. Hooper, Dr. Tur
ner. of Atlanta, and Dr. Cole, of At
lanta.
The stewards of the First Metho
dist church served as honorary pall
bearers and there were present largo
numbers of the members of the fra-
tenal orders to which the deceased
had belonged.
The choir, consisting of Mrs. C. M.
Snelling. Mrs. F. E. Griffetb, Mr. And-
ley Morton and Mr. Ralph Hodgson,
-sang sweetly the opening hymn,
"Asleep in Jesus,” after which Rev. E.
I.. Hill, pastor of the Presbyterian
ohUrcli, read the Scripture lessons
bridge that is flaunting its tiny green
vaunt to the winter. There Is a cor-
rolary to this proposition that the
guineas will not begin to lay in the
spring till the blackberries begin to
put forth leaves. Now that the vines
have leaves as large as a dime the
guineas are beginning to lay afro. So
that, from the consideration of these
signs alone. It’s “Hall, gentle spring,
tral la. and also springtime, gentle
Annie, teohee.”
More than once has it been im
pressed upon the public that the hum
ble ben Is far wiser than some of us
have "wotted.” She -Is foolish In her
actions at times and yet in a pinch
we rely upon her just as if the cold
storage system didn't "delay what the
lien lays.” The hen keeps up with
the procession of political happen
ings. This has been evidenced by the
various actions in the past, few
months when the high price of living
lias puzzled the good wife and crazed
the old man of the household. Speak
ing of the Barbervilie hen who has
begun a reverse boycott on her own
hook by laying twin eggs, Mr. Mar-
hut, a' chicken fancier, tells this one.
which can be proven beyond the shad
ow of a dubiatlon:
Last year, a month after the pure
food law went into effect and when it i
became necessary under the law for
certain products to have plainly
stamped upon them the date of thear
manufacture a hen in this city owned
by Mr. F. H. Bowden laid an egg that
literally falfillcd the conditions im
posed by the government. On the
small end of ttye egg were in as plain
raised figures as you over saw “09.”
Now if that egg had gotten into the
all-receptive and oft-deceptive maw
of the cold storage the vintage Would
have been self-evident on the eggsact
fact of the product, so to speak.

Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at
the church in Tuoksfon the funeral of
Mrs. J. U. Tuck was preached, the
services being conducted in a touch
ing manner in the presence of a vast
congregation of sorrowing friends

customers complain of being placed

the entrance of any nurse. We find
that the nurses are taking advantage
of the opportunity to see the pictures

The remains of Mr. John W. Gllle-
land, whose death ocurred Thursday
morning at an early hour after g few
days’ illness from pneumonia, were
reverontly laid to rest ai, Oconee
cemetery yesterday morning after the
sermon had been preached at the
home near the Normal School by the
pastor of the First Methodist church
of this city, Rev. Dr. M. L. Troutman,
who was assisted in the services by
Rev. Mr. Morris.
Peculiarly touching was the tribute,
paid to the memory of his gallant ser
vice to the Southland in the trying
times ot the war between the states
in the attendance of a large number of '
his old comrades in arms, who attend-
ded the services at tho house and
went then with the funeral cortege
to the city of the dead to lay one
mere flower on his^resting place. The
pallbearers were selected from the
men who marched with him when the

their hearts to be the right one.
