hope that they may soon be well

began a protracted meeting at the
Methodist church Monday evening
which will continue for some days.
He will have with him to assist

Shaw, of Oxford, a preacher who
has splendid reputation and who
will not only instruct in divine
things but entertains with hisable
discourses.
Rev. John Rosser, of Toccoa. at
which place Mr. Shaw closed a
very successful meeting last Sun
day, writes the following about
him: “His preaching needs no
endorsement from me. He will
endorse for himself from his first
to the last sermon if the church
will rally to him. A9 a preacher
he has boundless faith in God
and abounding love for men.”
Everybody is cordially invited
to attend the services. Brother

great good accomplished in his
church and among all the people
of this community.

one at 9 to 10 o’clock every
morning and the other beginning
at 8 p. m.
BARNES VIIjLE DEFEATS FORSYTH
A Good Game of Batel>till was Wit
nessed Here Thursday.
The Barnesville baseball team
met the Forsyth team here Thurs
day afternoon and defeated them
by a score of 15 to 5.
The game started promptly at
8:80 o’clock, and after the first
few innings it was clearly shown
that the Forsyth team was up
against the “real thing” and
would have to work hard to escape
being shut out. It was thought
at first that it would bea pitchers
battle but Maynard, the Forsyth
pitchier, was fanned all over the
field and for two home runs. Nor
man’s pitching for the locals was
decidedly the feature of the game,
having struck out 18 men and al
lowing only 8 base hits. Norton,
the cracker-jack catcher who re
ceived Norman’s swift curves,
caught a fine game and handled
the sticks in great form.
Every player on the Barnesville
team played fine ball and batted
well.
The score by innings was as fol
lows :
Umpires: M. W. Smith and 0.
Ponder. Attendance 700.
A Huge Radish.
Mr. E. G. Horn, a prosperous
farmer living near Lamont,
brought quite a curiosity to the
city last week in the shape of a
radish. It was simply immense,
and it was so big that it did not
look like a radish. It was 24 in
ches long und 22 inches in circum
ference, and people looked at it in
astonishment. It was on exhibi
tion at the post office for several
days and attracted the attention
of everybody.
Itarnesvllle tit Griffin 4.
The third nine of baseball play
ers of Barnesville met the third
I nine from Griffin Wednesday
I afternoon and defeated them in a
nice game by a score of 10 to 4.
The Griffin boys were much
larger than the home boys but
could not play ball like the
youngsters and came very near
being shut out, as the change of
pitchers by the Barnesville boys
gave them their runs.
The third team is composed of
boys between 10 and 15 years of
age and will play any team in
the state composed of boys not
over 15 years of age.
