To The Waters
Barrow County
Most of the voters of every coun
ty know a man who runs for ail of
fice. his makeup and his (nullifi
cations.
They know whether he has en
deavored to be a friend to men,
felt for them, been true to them
and tried at all times to do his du
ty* conscientiously and worked for
the betterment of humanity.
They know whether his heart is
in the right place or not and wlieth
er he is sincere or playing the part
of a hypocrite.
They know whether he is a real
man or a selfish and conceited big
ot, who cares nothing for his fel
lowman save to ride into office.
A few men may become so prej
udiced that they will listen to the
appeals of demagogues and turn
against a real friend of years du
ration.
A few men to gratify personal
spites and imaginary wrongs may
so forget themselves as to try* to
form a false impression against a
man, use things too little for broad
giiaged men to think about, much
less to repeat, for the purpose of
deceiving others, but the large ma
jority of men disapprove such
methods and are not influenced by
them.
I am asking the people of Bar
row county to support me as their
representative for the next Geor
gia legislature.
I am not afraid of these people
with whom and among whom T
have lived and labored because I
believe the most of them are my
friends.
I am willing to risk their verdict
on September 8.
Sincerely yours,
ALBERT G. LAMAR.
THE REVIVAL AT THE SEC

efficient clerk of court,, is leading
the song services.
Miss Rowena Shedd presides at

each evening. Services daily at
7 :45 P M.
Much interest is being manifest
ed and many of the'country peo

evangelist in other years ride into
the services.
Frank Jackson occupies a unique
place in the life of his denomina
tion. lie was one of the first evan
gelists ever employed by the, board
and one of the most successful. He
has been instrumental in getting
into the churches more members
than any other man his age in the
State.
His preaching is pungent and
powerful. He flays sin merciless
ly and doesn’t hesitate to paint
bell in all of its horrors, and yet
no preacher ever manifested more
tenderness in leading the lambs in
to the fold.
There is something doing in all
of his meetings. Crowds still
throng upon his ministry as in
other days, and the Second Baptist
chureli has bright prospects for
one of the best meetings in its his
tory.
All the people of the city are cor
dially invited to attend.
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
The Ladies
Had a Game
DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY
KNOW SOMETHING OF THE
NATIONAL SPORT.
(Reported By Mis.-. Dorothy Hills. Spe
cial Correspondent)
The people ol Wilder enjoyed a
splendid baseball season this year and
£ot their “dessert” (which any child
will tell yon is the best part of the
feast) Tuesday when the fat ladies of
ibis town played the lean ones. Inci
dentally, who says the ladies are not ou
to the national sport?
The game was called at 4: hi Tues
day afternoon. Batteries being Miss
Sallie .lane” MeNabb, and “Miss Su
sie Ann ” Grilfeth, both of whom looked
“just too sweet” in their middies. The
line up was as follows:
FATS
Mrs. M. K. Oglesby, Ist base.
Mrs. .1. I’. Mi Heaps, 2nd base.
Mrs. Bush. Short stop.
Mrs. IV. Horton, ,'!rd baa*
Mrs. Al ill i kin, left field.
Mrs. E. V. Snipes, center field.
Mrs. Ralph Smith, right field.
1, KAN'S
Mrs. I*. S. Roberts, Ist base.
Mrs. K. h. Kavenson, 2nd base.
Miss Dorothy Hills, s. s.
Mrs. Norton Hill, ,‘lrd base.
Mrs. Reid, right field.
Mrs. YV. N. Bailey, left field.
Mrs. M. .1, Griffeth, center field.
Empire: Sir Robert (Bob) Higgins.
We might say here that the Leans
beat, the score being H> to 112. L was
alleged by some of the Fats that the
pitcher and. umpire were bought out by
two ice-cold dopes. However, this has
not been proven.
The game furnished a great deal of
harmless fun to both spectators and
players. It also furnished the latter
with ‘ hang overs” which caused thef
to grunt and groan a good deal the licit
day wb h their> It-sser hillves sang a
chorus of “1 told you so.”
In the first few innings, the Fats got
in the lead. However, they tied in the
4th inning and after that, the Leans
held them down with some real play
ing. The most spectacular incidents ot
the afternoon was the work ot Mrs. Hill
and Mrs. Roberts on bases and the bat
ting of Mrs. Millsaps who, it is whisper
ed, with a little more practice could go
after Babe Ruth’s laurels, and get ‘etn,
too. The casualties of the afternoon
numbered two. Once M rs. Ralph Smith
(“Chick”) thought she had been hit
by a pitched ball and mind being
stronger than matter, she collapsed
right there and it took much fanning
and the application of several powder
puffs to bring her to. It was with
great difficulty that she limped to first
base '(being hit in the head naturally
caused tier to limp) but after getting
there, she heat Joe Guton himself at
getting home. Probably, Mrs. Roberts
personality put “pep” into her wound
ed body. The second casualty was more
serious when Mrs. Millsaps slid into
lirst on her face. Had it not been fot
her accident, she would probably have
made three bags.
At the end of the second inning Mrs.
Bailey gave out and Miss Kdith House
was put in as substitute. Alt bo she
was the only “kitten” in tho aggre
gation, she didn’t let the older ones put
anything over on her. Her butting and
fielding were both way over 2.7■>.
An unknown admirer of our # fair
pitcher sent out a lovely hoquet of yel
low field daisies which wore aeknowl
j edged with a graceful bow. Nad to re
late, they were badly mangled later on
when Sir Robert placed his number Kiev
ens on them.
!Mrs. Aiken was ruaskot for the leans
and kept tho plate spick and span at
all times. Mr John Williams was self
appointed manager and coach for the
Kean ladies and appeared to be quite at
home among a benchful of them.
One sad happening' of the afternoon
was the fight between Messrs Aiken and
Millikin when one beaned the other with
pop bottle. The police intervened
and stopped the rueus before any blood
was shed.
It is hinted that the ladies may ptay
again in the not distunt future.
FINE COTTON.
Mr. M. G. Chapin, of near Au
burn, has ten acres of cotton high
as one’s head and full of fruit. It
is hard to beat and with a late fall
it is thought by those who have
seen it that lie will get two hales
to the acre.
Mr. Chapin is a hustler and he
knows how to farm.
