HOME BALL TALENT.
Married and Single Men Play Close
Game to rinlsti.
To our Bachelors and Benedicts
Tifton ib indebted for two honrs of
Inn Wednesday afternoon, which
was highly enjoyed by the large
crowd whieh came near filling the
grand-stand, bleachers and the root
ers' box. Of course, it is the ball
game we are talking abont.
The game was started Friday af
ternoon. trben each side scored five
runs up to the first half of the. filth
inning, when the single men took a
spurt and had made the circle about
t seven times when J. Pluvous took
pity on the overworked scorer and
' wept so copiously that the orowd
had to seek shelter, the offioial score
being 5 to 5. Batteries : Bachelors,
Pepper and Walton; Benedicts, Aus
tin, Short and Oarrett Umpire,
Wall; scorer, Smith.
Wednesday, the spectators gat
/several timos the worth of their
money. Two-base hits were fre
quent, and only the rule limiting
them to that number prevented sev
eral home runs. With varying for
tunes, accordingly as errors accumu
lated or the pitchers eased up, it was
anybody’s game until the last man
was out in the ninth.
Following is the line-up and score
of runs, not enough stenographers
being present to keep a record of the
hits and errors:

SCHOOL.
Milltown has enjoyed good school
advantages for quite awhile, but not
satisfied with good, we want tho
best; therefore, when tho Valdosta
Baptist Association decided on build
ing an Associational college, it was
not many days before we progress
ive people had made such proposals
that when location was considered
as to healthfulness, moral conditions
(a dry town) and central location,
Milltown was unanimously selected.
Tho material is now being gotten to
gether as fast as money can do it,
and we expect to have a fifty thous
and dollar college building complet
ed by Ootober.

A Splendid Program Covering Three
Days of This Week.
The Adel Institute began its first
anneal exeroises in itabandsomo new
brick building Sunday, May 27th.
The commencement sermon was
preached by Rev. J. A. Ivey, of Daw
son, whore oratorical power, accom
panied by practical experience, made
bis sermon doubly interesting to a
large, appreciative audience.
Monday’s exercises were declama
tions and reoitations. Monday even
ing was given to the primary de
partment, which reflected much
credit upon teoohers and pupils for
the noble manner in which they ren
dered their parts.
Tuesday morning tho medal con
test, which resulted in favor of Billy
Henderson, for declamation, and
Miss Marie Scandrit for expression.
These contests were very close, and
each contestant reflected much honor
for their rendition, and only a small
advantage captured the medal in
each case.
Tuesday evening the grammar
school department entertained an
audience of about COO persons with
a delightful program, well rendered.
Wednesday morning the com
mencement address by Hon. O. T.
Gower, of Cordele, on “The Mission
and Functions of the School,” was a
literary feast that the people of Adel
appreciated, and the responsive
countenances of tho audience thrilled
the speaker to one of his most noble
and successful efforts in oratory.
Wednesday evening, the closing
exercises were given by the high
Bchool department, that needed a
much larger auditorium to seat those
standing and outside; that they
might bo able to render their parts
to a much better advantage.
Taking into consideration the dis
advantage of a orowdod auditorium
and the confusion op a natural re
sult, these pupils and teachers do-
serve doable praise for the manner
in which they handled the exercises
and rendered their parts.
The teachers and superintendent
should feel complimented for the
enthasiastio appreciation of the peo
ple of Adel for the school and the
work they have done. Tho high
character of those exercises merit
the prame of not only the parent,
bnt tho entire community, in behalf
of these teachers.
There are four medals olTorod next
year: One by Mr. M. S. Patten, to
tbo boy for the best speech; ono by
Mrs. W. M. Wnkeford, to (he girl
for the best recitation; one by Rev.
J. A. Ivey, of Dawson, for muBic,
and one by Dr. J. M. Gregory, of
Adel, for the best general average.
The people of Adel and surround
ing section are very enthusiastic
over their school, and are proud of
its deserving faculty. They have
oponod the doors of their institute,
and the poor and rich alike are being
educated.
The town is prosperous and pro
gressive, and many new resident
buildings can be seen; others going
up, besides a stock company just or
ganized for a large short cotton gin
nery.
The section around Adel is pros
perous, and is being put into fine
agricultural shape. R.
