Horton, Aug. 20.—Dr. J. K.
Maloy, the efficient physician and
genial gentleman of Temperance,
with his wife, spent one day this
week with the family of Mr. Cal¬
vin Brown.
Mr. Carroll, of Rhine, visited
his brother-in-law, Mr. Neil Mc
Cranie, of Horton, this week.
The many friends ot Mrs. Rvals
will be glad to know that she is
rapidly recovering from her fall
of a few weeks ago.
There is a little talk of organ¬
izing a Sunday school at Horton.
May the talk continue until it re¬
sults in the establishing of a flour¬
ishing Sunday school which will
be both beneficial and enjoyable
to the young people.
Miss Mercer’s essay on “Love
and Kindness” in last week’s
edition of the Times-Journal was
a gem and we for our part thank
her for it. It breathes a lofty
and not a sentimental sentiment,
winch should be by all means en¬
couraged in the minds of all
readers both young and old, and
the best way to do so is by having
such pieces in print.
The people who have been pre
dieting that we would dry up for
lack of rain, surely have been en
couraged by this week’s rain fall;
and so also the fodder pullers
have been discouraged, but the
good book says that the rains fall
on the just and the unjust, so if
the dry weather prophet can stand
it, I suppose the farmer can.
Mr. Pope attended preaching
Saturday and Sunday at Hope
well.
Mrs. Brown, with her son, John,
and little daughter, Gertrude,
visited relatives and friends at
Horton this week. «
News is scarce at this end of the
row, and as Horton is such a law
abiding place, the writer can Te¬
port no lynchings or killings, al¬
though a mule came very near
killing one man recently.
Mr. Henrv Brown, one of Hor
ton’s young men, visited friends
at Temperance last Saturday and
Sunday.
Mr. Levi Harrell, of near Rhine,
visited Horton last Friday.
The Horton pedagogue has been
on ’the sick list this week, conse
fluently no school. Pedee.

fives and friends in Wilkinson
county.
Mr. William Thompson was
over from Bee Hive last Sunday.
Mr. Johnnie Mullis was up from
High Hill last Sunday, accom¬
panied by his best girl and sister.
Miss Rebecca Mullis has been on
the sick list for the past week,
i*ut we are pleased to report her
as improving.
The writer, accompanied by
I several of our boys, attended the
I exhibition at Dubois, which
THE TIMES-JOT
Eastman Times Established 1S73 i

was the finest that I have at ■
tended this year.
Mr.Newton Mullis, accompanied
by his daughter, attended preach¬
ing at Trail Branch last Saturday
and Sunday. M. F. J.

High Hill, Aug. 24.—Many of
our people are picking cotton.
We are sorry to state that there
is considerable sickness m this
community.
Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Horne, of
Nameless, have been visiting rela¬
tives at this place.
Mr. J. R. Smith, of Walton
Creek, was here last Sunday.
Mr. C. F. Wade and the writer
attended the exhibition at Snow
Hill last Friday night and had a
splendid time.
Misses Fannie Smith and Etta
Mullis visited relatives near Raw¬
lins last Sunday. M. T. J.

EASTMAN, DODGE COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1897.
THE SCORE STOOD 3
That Was the Way Eastman and
Cochran Played Ball
ON LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Was a Beautiful Game, and the Eastman
Boys Played Splendidly-but They
Couldn’t Help Getting Beat.
Three and nothing.
That is the way that the score
stood at the end of the ninth in¬
ning of baseball played at Coch¬
ran last Friday afternoon.
Cochran made three; Eastman
made nothing.
Fully realizing, from recent ex¬
perience, that Cochran could not
furnish a ball team that would in¬
terest Eastman, our boys gave
them the privilege of selecting an
outside battery. Cochran selected
Quillain and Moore, and now our
boys “are sorry that they spoke.”
Quillain is the noted one-armed
professional pitcher, and it is al¬
most certain defeat for any team
that goes up against him.
Moore is Quillain’s catcher, and
to say that he holds Quillain is
saying enough.
Both professionals are from the
state at large. They play ball
everywhere, although they just
now claim Quitman tis their
home,
Our boys put up the game of their
l* ves aiu ^ we f°el much better
over the result than if they had
phivcd Cochran alone with the
usual uninteresting score,
loo much praise cannot be ac
corded the fine work <d our home
battery, Wynne and Miller.
Quillain and Moore beat only
Eastman boys.
Our crowd was nicely treated
by the people of Cochran, and
they were pleased with their visit.
The Eastman Academy.
Prof. W. T. Gaulden, the new
principal of the Eastman Acade¬
my, has arrived in Eastman and
will open school next Monday
morning.
Mesdames Wall and Walton,
both of this city, will have charge
of the intermediate and primary
while Miss Lowe, of
Augusta, will be m charge of tlx*
kindergarten department.
With the above excellent corps
of teachers, our school will be as
good as the best.
Back From New York.
Mr. Mather Wynne has returned
from New York, where lie went to
purchase his fall stock of dry
goods. These goods (one of the
finest ar;d most complete lines
ever seen m wiregrass Georgia)
are daily arriving and being tastily
arranged.
Mr. Wynne has a few words to
say to our people in a half-page
advertisement in this issue. Read
and profit thereby.
Turning out Rood Work.
At last we can have our laundry
work done at home. The East
man Steam Laundry is turning
out first-class work.

amount named will barely cover
expenses, and they trust that the
patrons will encourage them m
their efforts to increase the effec¬
tiveness of the school bv a liberal
support and co-operation with the
excellent principal and assistant
teachers that have been secured.
The trustees beg to say to the
patrons of the school that their
sympathetic co-operation with the
teachers is absolutely necessary to
success, and beg that they take
and display an active interest in
the progress of their children, and
thus assist in building up what we
ought to have—as good a school
as there is in the state.
Everybody help—do his part—
and success is assured.
