From Oglethorpe.
Yesterday the Flint base ball
club of Oglethorpe, arrived to play
the Commercial club a game. The
game was played on McKay’s hill
yesterday evening, but on account
of going to press with our weekly,
we cannot givo the result. The
Oglethorpe boys are perfect gentle
men, and the Commercial club en-
tertained them handsomely.
For Reprenentative.
In another column will be found
the announcement of Capt. .1. L.
Adderton as candidate for nomin
ation to the office of Representa
tive. Capt. Adderton a few years
ago represented this county ir. the
Legislature, and his experience
ought to especially fit him for the
office. He lias many warm friends,
who will do valiant service for him
in tlte primaries.
Dissolved.
By an announcement in Wednes
day's Republican wc learn that the
editorial firm of Hancock & Warren
is to be dissolved on the fifteenth
of ibis month, Judge Warren re
tiring from the Republican. We
are sorry to lose the Judge, for he
has proved himself a pleasant neigh
bor, and we are sure the readers of
the Republican will miss bis bright
sayings. We hope soon to hear
that be has connected himself with
some other paper, for we do not
want to lose him entirely from the
editorial fraternity.
For Mayor.
In another column will be found
the announcement oi Capt. A. C.
Bell as a candidate for Mayor.
Dapt. Bell’s experience as an Alder
man should make him well qualified
for the office of Mayor so far as the
administration of the city govern
rnent is concerned. In addition to
his experience, he is well known
to be a public spirited citizen, ever
ready to respond to the call for im
provement, and if he ahould bo
elected we have no fears that
Amerlcus would be allowed to foil,
behind in the procession of cities.

as a candidate for Representative.
Mr. Wilson last year represented
this county in the legislature, and

vancement, and as such took a
strong stand in the last legislature
in favor of all legislation in that
direction. He very naturally
would like an endorsement of his
course by our people, am) as a con
sequence asks for re-eleolion.

THE BOYS AT THE BAT.
Psrrjr Stars ^
WiU
Wednesday noon
Perry, arrived to play r the Com'
mercial boys a friendly game of
ball. Mr. R. • N. Holtzclaw,
prominent lawyer of that eity, was
captain of the nine, aud he, as well
as the others, proved to bf gentle
manly and agreeable, exi
perhaps they expected tdo many
concessions from the home club in
waiving the rules.
About 3:30 the clubs walked out
to the grounds, accompanied by a
large audience. During the pro
gress of the game a great number of
ladies arrived and spurred the boys
on. :. * V % '
Captain Storey lost the toss and
went to the bat, taking the first on
called balls. Cater, tbe Perry
pitcher, threw a swift ball, but a
wild one. Hawkins made a safe
bit, and the game had fairly begun.
After scoring 5 runs our boys
subsided and took tbe field. Tbe
visiting olub were unable to" bat
Hawkins, and retired after sooring
one run. The borne club rolled up
lour in the next inning, whitewash,
ed Perry, and retired themselves
with a goose egg on the third. In
the six other innings Perry made
22 runs while the home club made
12. In the 7th Inning Walker, who
is new behind the bat, got his
hands blistered and was compelled
to stop. Perry would not consent
to Hawkins taking his place and
putting in another pitcher, so Jor
dan finished up the inning for him.
By the wild throws in this inning
Perry scored 8 runs, 4 men com
ing in while the ball was lost in the
grass,
Tlte umpire called the game as
the first half of tbe ninth inning
was being played, on account of
coming darkness. The Perry boys
didn’t say much about darkness
until one man bad reached second
base and tbe man at the bat bad
four balls and no strikes called.
Then they found they couldn’t see
the ball, and Umpire Mayo colled
tlte game. The scorers reported
the game, and ho declared it a tie,
22 to 22. The crowd then dispers
ed. After they were off the
grounds tho Perry scorer came to
the umpire anti said he had found
another score for hi9 side. The
umpire generously allowed it, and
declared the game won by Perry
by one round.
