THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CARROLL COUNTY AND CITY OF CARROT T TON CARROLLTON, CARROLL COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 18 1008 A Good Game. Several hundred wild eyed fanatics, perhaps the largest crowd that ever witnessed a ball ► game in this city, journeyed out to Kings berry’s race track Sat urday aiternoon and night to see home talent wallop the stuffin out of the tamous Cherokee In dian baseball team that is now making a tour of the southern states. The going was fine and the fans enjoyed it. They did the veiling and squalling stunt to p -rfection—they shore were on the warpath the same as the In dians, and they pulled oft' the tomahawk dance to the very envy of the redskitis. The Commercial Club of this city put up their team against this noted band of Bcalp'takers and proceeded to get into the scalp trade themselves, and snatched 8 to the Indians i. The game was well played and real exciting up to the sixth inning when the warriors ot the wild and woolly tribe took a balloon trip and after that it was easy money for the civilians. ¥p till the glorious sixth they had us whipped to a white juicy froth, we just couldn’t score and they had tallied early in the game. It looked real gloomy tor the boys but when the fire works got started in the sixth, they got real greedy and took three. When the seventh come they took 2 non to be safe, and then just to keep down disputes they added .3 more in the eight. The Indians on the other band had fallen out among themselves and couldn’t .score after the fourth. Besides, Brown who was doing the tossing act for the home guard had powder to sell and move swift curves up his sleeve than you could count with an adding machine. He sent all kinds of shoots over and the Indians in a state of mortal agony all the way through, and then to cap the thing oft proper he made a dazzling stop of a hot grounder that was cutting grass like a lawn mower, tossed to first and retired the side. If that grounder had beern permitted to get away there is no telling how many Indians would have scor ed. The dub boys made only two errors, one of them being re sponsible for the lone tally topped by the red-men. Capt. Reese, who was playing first, at. tempted an easy pop, but instead .of playing the game got his “lamps'” fixed on the grandstand and when the ball rolled out of his rait, an Indian crouching on third crossed the pan. The oth er error wa6 made by Holmes in the outfield * he took a cfcance at a long fly and just to show the crowd what he could do, missed it. All the rest of the boy6 played sensational ball all the way through, but at the bat the In* dian pitcher was master of the situation until he got mad, after that the boys took his slow ones to a far-ye-well. For the first few innings he sizzed the n over like bullets and he had the club gang biff mg the ozone and when they did hit one it fell in a mit as big as a tub, for they never missed a high one. On their pegs the Indians were fast and run bases like race horses. The catcher was also to the good and his throw to the bases would make a glassed eyed man sit up and take notice* The boys were all bears on bases. All in all the game was fine and the fans give vent to their feelings all the way along. This encouraged the home boys and they pla,ed to win. The night game was more of novelty than anything else but a good sized crowd went out to see the fracus. The indians won this game 9 to 2. They played the game by fifty gasoline ark lamps, and used a large ball. The local boys were not on to these things and unused to large ball and nothing more could be expected. The In dians made monkeys out of us thats all there is to It. They got tired runningj so much and wouldn’t try except when they got a home run. All our boys took a hand at pitching during this game as one ot our fellows couldn't hold out to throw a bal loon during a whole game. Jess was given a work out and han dled himself like a comer. He is a young southpaw, fast and quick and will some day be found in large company. His whip got kinky in some of the practice games a few days ago and he was afraid to shove on too much steam at thia stage. He will beO. K. iu a fey days and it w the intention of Capt. R.ee"e to give him a showing in one of the games next week. * Notice. Notice is hereby given that application will be made to the 'C5enet al Assembly at the June session 1908 for the passage ot a local bill with the following Cap tion. An act to repeal so much of an act, approved Autgust 23rd, 39 and entitled am act to pro vide for the creation and ®pei*a, tioo of local tax Districts schools and for levying and collecting of local tax by Districts or Coun ties for educational purposes, for the laying off ot Countiec in school (Districts, and for other purposes as amended August 21, 1906 and August 22, 1907, as re lates to Wesley Chapel school District in Carroll County, and for other purposes.

Carrojl county's bid for this school was as follows: 250 acres land. 300,000.00 in cash, tree water and free lights for ten years and free telephone five years. You have 275 acres land 25 more than the bid. This at price paid, 35.00 an acre, come 875.00. We have not furnished lights. We found that it was not practical to furnish them from city from fact city plant was loaded, for one reason, and it was thought best for light to be furnished from a plant on the ground as one would be needed here for other purposes, and also to train the students in electrical work. We have therefore decid ed to ask the Board to accept the 25 acres extra land in lieu of lights, as no charge has so far been made against any fund for the extra 25 acres. You have an abundance of clear filtered water delivered to you through a 6 inch main, with pressure sufficient not only to throw water over the tallest building but over the flag pole, so in case o* nre we can save the flag. This magnificent system of water works is furnished by city of Carrollton absolutely free, at a cost to the city of' 4,- 200.00, (ain’t you proud of her) and this iu addition to the 2,500 given in cash, (ain’t we proud of her) and in addition to this the private citizens of Carrollton (less than 400 voters) contribu ted aud patd 12,795.00 into this fund. (Aint you proud of her, I am.) Recollect also that the mnon 'Sfioopo contributed t although w somewhat reluctantly) by the 2 bank was given by these same citizens, as the stock is owned almost entirely by Carrollton people. I also call attention that one third ot the 5,000.00 given by the county came as tax es from citizens of Carrollton. From this you will see that of about 43 ,000:00 paid out on ac count of this school to this date that Carrollton has paid about 37,000.00 in round numbers; (I glory in her, don’t you?) and to cap the climax as a crowning glory to all, although some of this was not strictly legal, not a pro test has been raised by any one of her loyal citizens. All honor to whom honor is due. Gentlemen of tne board, you have two magnificent buildings erected here complete, the aca demic building and the boys dor mitory. These same buildings, I understand, cost the other schools over the state 31,000.00 and some of them as much as 32,500.00. These you have at a total cost of 24,702.26, a sav ing to you of 9,800.00 under the re " lowest erected anywhere in the atate. I . am reliably informed that these buildings are perhaps the best in the state. It was sug gested that we ask your Board to accept these buildings at the sum of 30,000 as that was 1,500 cheaper than any other school got, and thus save 5,300 to partly reimburse the banks, but we did not want to play the Indian with our school, give it anything and then take it back, its needs are too large. We need a machinery hall and we are going to have it. We have the plans of an excellent build ing and are now laying down the material. The architects es timate the cost of the building at 10,000. Carroll county is still due the school on her bid, .4,- 568.34. Your contractors are going to undertake to put up this 10,000 shop with this 4,500, and I believe we will do it. To sc h °°i. com pi e t e the 4th District A. & M. School 31,000 is needed, as follows: Girls dormitary 12,500, power plant, tools, dynamo &c tor shop, 5,000, dining hall 7,500, four professors’ cottages 5,000, and a barn 1,000, total 31,000. Our eloquent speaker ot today, and future congress man, has guaranteed us a girls dormitory, (it is to be known as the W. C. Wright Dormitory) that disposes ot that matter. We can possibly make out without the professors’ cottages if Col Wright will hurry the girls dor mitory. That leaves about 13,- 500 to be raised for dining room, barn and furnish shop. Gentle men of the Board, this is a 4th District school, true it is located in Carroll, but each of the other n.ne counties are entitled to the same privileges here, it is your school, Carroll has done all the paying so far, we want to invite you to come and help us now, yoif will be welcome, (as your boys and girls have been wel comed.) I do not know wheth er to try to raise any more mon ey in Carroll, It seems we are about to fail cow on what we are still due, but it our memoer Mr. Murrah, will promise one half this amount, (I think we can make it for 1,000 less, say 12,- 500.) I say if Mr. Murrah will promise for Carroll county one- Tyus. halt of the 12,500, I will sign Lowei the boijd for it, provided the Clem, other nine counties will raise the same amount, 6,250. I am sure this ought to dispose of balance of this matter. As already shown, we are due Cut Glass is Peerless Try to think of something more desirable for a gift occasion. Try to think of something more tasteful, more suit able, more giveable or likeable. You can’t Cut-Glass is without a peer as we told you in the heading. ’Tis true some fofj the articles run up into some money—but see what you arej buying. Cut Glass such as we sell is Cut Glass indeed. It sparkles like myriads of diamonds. It lasts for ever and is a never-ending source of delight to its owner. The smaller articles cost from $1.50* Every piece of Cut Glass that we show, at whatever price, is guaranteed to be the real thing, not Near-Cut nor Pres-Cut but Cut. ewe; .j TWE. 0\i\8niYJR > f store! 38,878 86 9,625 00 .24,702 20 2 00 200 00 600 00 4,568.34 on our bid, we have 3,321.69 collected, leaves 1,246 65 to be raised.

Loftin-Hogan. Wednesday evening at 8130 o’clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Loitin, oc- cured the marriage of Miss Biownie Loitin and Mr. Ben A. Hogan. Beautiful simplicity and ex quisite daintiness marked the event. The windows in the south parlor where the ceremony was performed were banked with palms aud ferna and the bride and groom stood on a rug of golden-eyed daisies beneath an improvised alter of smilax, ferns and daisies, from which suspend ed the wedding bell of daisies. Southern smilax festooned the walls and the color scheme of green and white was success* fully carried out., To the strains ol Mendelssohn’s wedding march played by Mrs. Sara \\ hitaker, Miss Martha Lee Hogan as maid of honot with Mr. Joe H. Loftin as best man entered the parlor followed by the bride and groom. • During the impressive cere mony by Rev. J . M . Tumlin, “Love me and the world is mine” was softly played. Im mediately afterwards delicious/ ices and cakes were served. In the reception hall little Miss Mattie Will Whitaker and Miss Ethel Smith presided at the punch bowl. The bride becomingly attired in a white chiffon princess with val laces and medallions and carried lovely shower boquet of white roses, ferns and lillies ot the valley. Her going away dress was a handsome brown tailor suit with hat to match. The maid of honor wore a beau tiful white lingerie dress pink girdle and pink gloves and car* ried a bouquet of pink roses and ferns tied with pink turle. The many elegant presents of hand painted china cut glass and silver attest the popularity of this couple. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loftin and has ever been admired fdr her sweet Christian graces as well as for her personal beauty. Her friends are glad her mar. riage will not take her away from our town, as the groom is one of our most popular business men. Amid a shower of rice r peals of joyous laughter the happy couple left on the north bound train for a short bridal trip.—Hogansville News.
