AGGIES TROUNCED In
CONTES’! AT CUTHBERT
CUTHBERT, April 29.—The Cuth
bert High slhool team defeated the
Third District Agricultural school
team of Americus in a one-sided
game here Friday afternoon by the
score of 13 to 4. The “Aggies,”
though using two pitchers, failed to
stop the hard-hitting of the local
boys. Pantone began the game for
the “Aggies” and was finally knock
ed out of the Vox in the 6th, while
Joiner pitched jam-up ball and al
lowed but few scattered hits. On
two successive occasions, when the
“Aggies” had two men on bases, with
only one man down, the locals retired
the side on neat double plays.
Captain Lanier, of the High school
team, led the slug-fest affair with
four hingles out of five times to the
bat, two for two-baggers and one for
a home-run.
The locals play a return game at
Americus next week.

WHAT GOLDEN RULE SALE
MEANSTOTHE PURCHASER!
(Continued From Page 1.)
honesty is the best policy, a concerted application of the new day
in business from which the old spirit of “every fellow for himself
has been cast out, and the spirit of fair dealing enthroned.
There are numerous other features, but this is the essence
of the plan and idea. There is the farmers’ auction sale, an insti
tution of pure service to the people, and there is the relationship
between the merchants whereby dealers in the same lines respect
each other and insist on the customer getting the best price on an
article on sale day by going to his competitor if the article hap- 1
pens to be the competitor’s special bargain for the occasion. ’
It is a splendid ideal put into practice in business, with the
public occupying the big point of vantage. It is the Golden Rule
actually harnessed up and put to work. And the customer holds
the lines and the .plow handles.
