Another Day of Baseball
Montezuma Record.
Montezuma and Oglethdrpe had
another day ot base ball Wednes
day. The “Commercial Cltya” of
Americus, played the “Flints,” at
Oglethorpe, and resulted in a vic
tory for the latter in a score of 19
to It. The Americus boys either
threw off or played a very poor
game, as they played nothing like
as well as they did at Montezuma.
At the dose of the game a hand
some box of flowers was presented
the visiting club from Miss Mamie
Willis.
The Commercial Citys came over
to Montezuma iu the afternoon and
played tbe Artesians, and every
body who saw the game in the
forenoon thought they would have
an easy victory. The Arlesians
took the bat and scored six runs
the first inning, but after that they
[ were hacked, and made only six
more runs during the remaining
eight innings. A large number of
people came over from Oglethorpe
to see the game, and the Oglethorpe
boys collected in one body and
hurrahed vociferously for the Com
mercial Citys, which excited and
hacked our boys so that they could
not play at all, and while it demoral
ized our boys, it gave the Ameri
cus boys courago and caused them
to play better. The Oglethorpe
boys admitted that they beat the
game. At the close of the game
the score stood 19 to 12 in favor of
Americus. Colonel Herrman, in be
half of the young ladies of Monte-
zum, presented to the visiting club
a nice box of flowers.

Thou hast all seajont for thino own, O death?” I
The subject of this notico was born iu j
Heard county, Georgia, on the 14th of j
February, 1832, where she continued to
reside until after her marriage to Mr. A.
C. Speer on March 5th, 1850. Soon after
this event the two moved to Sumter!
county. At the age of 18 she joinel the )
Missionary Baptist church and remained !
a consistent member of this denomina
tion up to the;time of her death, which
oocurred near the city of Americus after
a painful illness of three weeks, Juno
13th, 1884.
Mrs. Speer Was a kind,good nud gentle
woman, a loving wife and a devoted
mother. She leaves behind a fond hus
band and eight children (the youngest
twin boys 16years old) to mouru|her loss.
The temperate and moral habits and ex
emplary lives of her six sous and two
daughters bear unfailing testimony to the
influence nnd training of one of the best
of mothers.
When she was told that she must soon
die and penetrate the fathomless myste
ries beyond the grave, she expressed her
self as perfectly prepared to moot the
grim messenger. We trust and believe
that at the final resurrection she will
awake from that dreamless sleep iu the
glorious morning of anothorwnd brighter
world, to live forovor in the light nnd
presence of the God she loved. For to
her death was but—
The golden key
