Sunny Home never presented a
more beautiful scene than on this
Japanese lanterns and
other appropriate decorations
were used in beautifying both
house and lawn. In the Western •
ii^rof the lawn, under a large |
Japanese lantern suspended from
the branches of a newly grown
water oak, was situated the punch
bowl, presided over by two of
Jones county’s most attractive

In a good game of ball last Sat¬
urday the Clinton hoys trimmed
the Yineville outfit to tlife tune ol
12 to G.
The game was played jam up bv
both teams with the exception of
the eighth inning when (lie Macon
buys piled up two or three costly
errors, which netted the locals
seven tallies. Mercer, the Clinton
slab artist, worked himself out m
fine style and did not allow the
visitors to buiuh a single hit.
Ross behind the bat plays better
ball than any oilier man of his
weight in Georgia. The J/acon
pitcher did good work but along
with it managed to hit more men
than any pitcher seen in these
parts lately.
No Particularly noteworthy
clays were made but the game was
interesting fmm beginning to
end.

A Bunch, of Babies.
One of the curious things to be
seen at the coming state fair will
be llie baby incubators. Nonrly
everybody lias seeen incubators
for hatching chickens, but few
have seen little babies in their
glass houses raised almost from
the dead as it were, and this sight
will be afforded the Fair visitors.
Better than a circus is'the per-
formance of the famous Seventh
Cavalry regiment. The soldiers
ride their horses in a way that
makes the hair stand on end, per-
forming feats while on horseback
that would seem impossible did
you not see it for yourself. A troop
of this regiment will be seen at
(he coming State Fair.

New Method of Farming.
David Sapp, who lives a few
miles below Huwkinsvillc, struck
t!ie keynote to successful fnrming
in dry weather this year.
Mr. Sapp slates (hut he plough-
id his corn when it was only six
inches high with a plow for ti e
last time as no rain fell on it un¬
til a few days ago. Instead of 11 s-
:i.g pl>.ws ’ during the continued
drought Mr. Sapp ran over the
ground between the rows with an
odiuary 2 by 4 scantling, which
killed the grass, broke the top
crust and partially packed the
land, causing it to retain what
moisture there was in it, and not
molesting the roots nt all.
Mr. Sapp's corn appeared to be
green and in fine condition during
all the dry p riod, while that of
liis neighbors who used plows for
cultivation was virtually ruined.
