After several fruitless effort^ the Sparks base ball club sueceetlcd in getting a sufficient number of its team together to pluy against the Tifton team at Tifton last Monday afternoon. Tiie Gazette desires to say of the young mon composing both teams, t.lmt, they are engaged at some honorable .business and it is impossi ble for tliem to play ball just when they like. Hence tiie difficulty in securing tiie game between the two teams. The Sparks young men arrived on the , 12:fi0 Georgia Southern and Florida train and were escorted to the Hotel Sadie, vhere they were provided with rooms and oared for until the time to appear upon the bull ground. The game was called ut fi o'clock with Mr. 11. II. MeOail, an expert player, as Umpire, mid Messrs. Miillhis mid Timmons as scorers for Fparks and Tifton respectively. Choice of positions were ficcordt-d tiie Sparks team and they went, to the out-lield with Parrish and Mat- tiiis as their pitcher mid catcher. Thov didn t slay there vory long, for they put the Tifton hatters out in one, two, three order, without a man teaching tile first base. Sparks team then went; to the bat mid scored two runs. Bilow and Hamilton were the battery for Tifton. The game was lively and interesting up to tlm fifth inning, when both teams seemed to play indifferent mid the score run up “out of sight.” The Bparks team made a mistake in The game on, hut the young mgn from.Sparks were pleased even in their defeat; they said it was the pleasantest game they had en gaged m this season. It was free iron .guying or tunlalizution of any sort, and there was no kicking against the decisions of tiie Umpire as is the custom at amateur games. It. was aniipate'd enough, but exceedingly quiet. The Sparks team was treated as the young gentlemen they are, mid the Gazette is Bure they are pleased .with their visit to Tifton.

Last Balurdtiy Hie annual union picnic of the Sumhiy-schonlri of Sparks and vicinity .occurred uf Pop lar Head, two miles went of Sparks. The people of that section, old and young, always look forward to the time for this union picnic with bright anticipations of pleasure and they are never disappointed. The day wus bright and us pleasant us the pictiic- ers could wish. There were six schools represented — the two schools at. Sparks, one at Poplar Head, one ut Evergreen, one at Antioch and tiie one at Bay boro in Golqnilt countv. It was witli the greatest of pleasure that Messrs. Ueckwith & Rogers brought the Buy- boro school on their tram road for u day’s enjoyment witli their Berrien county friends. The editor of the Gazette deeply regrets that, business engagements, always occurring on the Ural of the mouth, prevented him from being present and entering into the festivi ties of the occasion with his friends there*. Attending a picnic in that section cf the county is synonumous with having a good time. From some who attended we learn that there* was an interesting program of exercises consummated in a smoothe and attractive manner, and the picnic dinner was Ample and of quality to tempi, the appetite of the most fastidious epicure.

The work on the bride over Little River, on the Tifteti andTy-Ty roatl, is not progressing eery rapidly now owing to the tremendous rains that have fallen during the past month.

A great number of bogs have died with this disease. Wliut an acre of wiregrass pine land-will do is thus summarized by the Worth Comity laical: “Last year Mr. G. W.

Mr. John L. Herring, of the Wort County Local, was in the city June 24th—St. John’s Day— and labile here picked np the following items. V . He also gives a piece of very good ; advice: Mrs. Mary Sinclair, who has beep vory sick for several .weeks past, is slowly improving. Truck farms are all looking well. ' Irish potatoes liuve yielded a heavy crop, and all other vegetables have’ flattering prospects, although the; .:: heavy rains are causing tomatoes to*, rot. . H A negro was crippled at the B. & W. yard one night during the . week, having oue foot oruslied by ' car passing over it. Dr. Goodman treated him, und at last accounts he was doing very well.. Jake W. Pauls, the clever young druggist, may be arrested for cruelty . to animals. He Iras driven tbe sill ' of his big show window, which was the favorite loafer’s seat in town,.full of iron spikes, and now the town philosophers, of which there ure very few, have to stand up or go home. It is a terrible alternative. It is suggested for what it mav be worth, that the citizens of Tifton petition the B & W. -authorities to il. How them to send fcho old depot at that place to the World’s Fair for ex hibition alongside the first nut way locomotive, or as a relic of Noah's Ark: However, it won’t do for a oitizen of Sylvester to say too much- on this line, as we afe only a little better off,' having none at all. The post-office matter, which hud nearly -lied out, was fanned into fresh flams the other day by the ap pearance of a new candidate in the field. As the matter now stands, it would seem that there are only twp ways left out of tin* difilonl’y, and that is to either let the present in cumbent 111! tlm place indefinitely, or else hold a citizen’s meeting, endorse some one for the place, uml see that hr is put through. If the people of the town do not decide for themselves upon the man they want, no ona else will dcoide for them. A great dual of complaint is made by the growers as to the prices paid for vegetables by the canning facto ry, ami it ii safe to say that unless it more satisfactory understanding is reached, but little material will be furnished the factory by the public during tlio coming year. This is not as it should lit. Nothing can he more closely alliedtliun the interest of the manufacturer and truck grow er, and tlm farmer should be content witli a very small profit on his stult in order to insure the establishment of a permanent homo market for a product that will bring money at a season when im needs it most. On the other hand, tlm manufacturer should pay tiio farmer every cent tliut he can afford for his trnok, for without the material to work upon, his factory is useless, uml he cannot expect the grower to raise vegetables ut a loss. A perfectly fair and com plete understanding should be estab lished between the two, in order tiv insure the suocess of both. If the farmer believes that the manufacr turer is working for the interest of both, Im will lie willing to make even a small sacrifice in order that the factory may be put upon a paying basis, und this he should be given to understand at once. The farmer of this section has never looked upon vegetables as a marketable commod ity, except in rare instances, and then at u fancy price, and he must be shown that there is money in them us a field crop, even at a small price, before he can be depended on to to grow them to any great, extent. A mutual understanding, and mutual concessions, for the benefit of all concerned, is absolutely necessary for success in this matter. Election ot Officer*.
