Tuesday, July is,
St. Swlthln’s Day. There is a
popular adage that if it rain on this
day there will be rain the next forty
days afterward, or vice versa, it
has been expressed in rhyme as lol
lows:
SL Kwitbin’e Day, If thon dost rain,
For forty days it will remain;
SL Swithln's Day, if thou be fair,
For forty days ‘twill rain na mair.
The Cluli,
.Owing to the rain The Cluli did
not meet at Judge Kendrick’s last
Monday night, and the meeting has
now been postponed until Friday
night, the 25th, when it will take
place at Judge Kendriok’s. The
appointments of readers will hold
good for that mcctiug, and It is
hoped there will be a full attend
acre.
Prolific Pears,
Mr. T. Ansley yesterday allowed
us a portion of a limb ofl a LeConte
pear tree, eighteen inehes long,
upon which were twenty-six fairly
developed pears. The limb was
cut from a tree in an orchard near
Thomasville. We are now fully
'prepared to believe that a ten year
old tree will produce twenty-five
bushels.
Death of Capt. Feagin.
Dipt. S. T. Feagin died at his
residence in the 17th district on
Monday last. He was a man of
intelligence and integrity, anil thta
gave him the esteem of his fellow
citizens, who a few years elected
him to represent them in the legis-
lature. He had been in failing
health for several years, and hir
death was not a surprise. The
community sustains a loss in the
death of such men.

and one or two disabled, four mem
bers of the second nine went along
to play in their places. Mr. Henry
BrowD, ol Kufaula, came up on the

he was an old Americns boy, they
Induced him to go witli them. They
were met at Oglethorpe by a dele
gation of the Flint Club and taken
care of. As soon as possible the
game was called and the work be
gan. We are told that the boys
played as badly as they did with
the Albany oink, and the conse
quence was that they were beaten.
A large crowd witnessed the game,
largely composed of thejadies of
the place, who showered bouquets
on our club, wbioli were highly ap
preciated.
As the Montezuma club hail
beaten the Oglethorpe hoys badly
only a few^ days before, everybody
supposed our boys would be badly
oleaned up. A lew of our boys bad
confidence in their playing, though,
as had Mr. Brown, of Kufaula, and
there was lively betting before the
game began. Hawkins went behind
the bat for our boys, and allowed
his ability to take the balls from
the bat in neat and artistic stylo,
while Hare pitched. They com
pletely demoralized the Artesian
olub by their flue playing and
heavy batting, and made but few
errors. Jordan, on first base, cover
ed himsell with glory, and Cain
and Davis in the field never let a
ball drop anil did some fine throw
ing. Brown dill somo good batting,
but owing to lameness could not
run bases as in olden times. The
soore ‘was twelve to nineteen in
favor of our hoys.
The Oglethorpe boys went over
Montezuma and yelled lustily
for the Commercial City club, as
the rivalry between the Oglethorpe
and Montezuma clubs is great.
