BARKOW COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, SKPTEMBKR, 2 IH2O 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 OND BAPTIST CHURCH. A fine series of evangelistic meet ings are now on at the Second Bap tist church here. Rev. J. Frank Jackson, of the State Mission Board, Atlanta, is doing the preaching for pastor Wallace. (ieo. N. Bagwell, the popular and efficient clerk of court,, is leading the song services. Miss Rowena Shedd presides at the organ. The crowds are large each evening. Services daily at 7 :45 P M. Much interest is being manifest ed and many of the'country peo ple who have known and loved the 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.

The cotton forces of our city are getting in ship shape.
