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 Branham is very anxious to see great good accomplished in his church and among all the people of this community.

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.
