ITS PURITY
IS YOUR SECURITY
You want ice cream you
can depend upon. The
kind you can eat a “whole
bushel" of and know ev
ery flake of it is PURE.
This word can't be em
phasized too otrongly
when you think of ice
cream. Os course it isn’t
natural to give its purity
a single thought /hen you
are parched and tired. Just
so it is cold and properly
flavored—that’s enough,
you say.
But, we know better,
and while you are enjoy
ing the rich flavor and ice
berg goodness of our Ice
Cream—at home or in our
store —we are watchful to
see that only the purest
materials are used.

’ ing
D/\VSON, June 23.—Dawson
evened things up with the Souther
Field club yesterday when *
they took another game from them
by a 5 to 1 score. H. C. Feagle,.'
Souther’s latest addition to the!
pitching staff, groke into the limelight!
Out it proved to be a bad break. He j
eased along fairly well for five in
nings and then the fireworks start
ed. McMillan, captain of the South
er squad, refused to jerk him and;
Dawson collected eleven bingles for
their five runs. Souther was able to j
collect only four safeties off Jenkins’ |
delivery and Bill Parsons got three;
of them. Parsons also pitched the j
last two innings.
In addition to this he proved hist
versatility by covering third base |
like Heinie Zimmerman at his best.
Souther has a treasure in “Big Bill”
and it is time some one was looking
him over as a prospect for fast com
pany.
The game yesterday gives each
club two victories and the deciding
game will be played at Souther soon.
SojKher plays Cordele at Cordele
today and probably Hawkinsville at
Souther tomorrow.

caused consternation at the home of
Mr. Brenzier who stated that he did
not know where the report had origi

just acquainted with the young girl
He left for Atlanta Monday to inves

of any knowledge of the origin of the
announcement was also made at the
Parker home and so far no trace of
the originator of the “jest” has been
found.
The girl was a high sdhool student

quite a shock to her family as well a”-
