THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1902. A GREAT GAME. THE PATS AM) THE LEANS PLAY TO A BIG CROWD—SCORE IS TO IS. The last and greatest ball game of the season was played in Barnes ville Friday afternoon last, between the Fats and the Leans. It was baseball not to be talked about and read about, but to be seen to be appreciatedand enjoyed. In the nine innings the two nines made thirty six runs and no errors. There were just numer ous grand stand plays. Neither the Fats or the Leans knew how to fumble a ball and llyes and grounders were handled without any trouble by members of the teams. It was a great game and was worth seeing. The game was suggested the first of the week and when Mr. C. O. Summers and Mr. M. W. Smith began to arrange for it, such enthusiasm was shown that it be came to be an important social event. The men, women and children constituted the fans and nearly a thousand people saw the game. Mr. 0. M. Jones was sponsor for the Leans and Mr. Joe Reeves for the Fats, each of whom was driven up in a carriage handsome ly decorated in the colors of the team. The Barnesville Silver Cor net band was engaged to furnish music for the event and free red lemonade was furnished in abun dance to all the ladies who attend ed. The players were properly cos tumed and no detail of the game was left unattended to. That the score was 18 to 18 was not the fault of either team, for every player played liis best to win. Of course there was con siderable kicking at the umpire and scorer, but there was no serious difficulty. The following gentemen com posed the two nines: The Fats —Mayor W. 15. Smith, Dr. J. P. Thurman, Messrs. C. 0. Summers, T. \V T . Cochran, J. B. Bankston, Jeff McDowell, W. M. Howard, J. W. Gardner, M. S. Howard. The Leans—Dr. J. A. Co'rry, I)r. E. C. Ripley, Messrs. S. K. Dusen bury, W. H. Chambers, J. A. Mc- Crary, Erie Murphey, A. J. Ste phens, R. C. Matthews and Dexter Blount. Messrs. Dusenbury, Stephens, and- Corry pitched and Dexter Blount caught for the Leans. Mr. J. B. Bankston was pitcher and Mr. W. C. Jordan catcher for the Fats. Pike County Man Gets SSOO. In the Atlanta Constitution’s prize contest, which ended on the last day of August, a Pike county man was fortunate in being award ed the sum of SSOO. He was Dr. L. H. Bartee, of Molena, Ga. His estimate of the crops of 1901-2 was 10,681,187 bales. The exact number according to Secretary Hester’s figures, of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, was 10,681,680 bales. There was quite a number of other prizes, one of which amounted to $1,500, which went to a gentleman of South Carolina. The Constitution is now running another contest, in which prizes are offered amounting to $20,000. No doubt Dr. Bartee will appre ciate his SSOO check. Has Moved. Mr. J. B. Bankston has moved the stock of the Bankston Hard wase Company to the building formerly occupied by the gent’s furnishing department of the J. C. Collier Cos. Some changes have been made in the interior that improve the place, and it is one of the most desirable stands in town. No doubt he will do a big business in his new quarters. A Profitable Meeting. Last Monday afternoon, from four to six o’clock, the Woman’s Missionary Society and young ladies of the Baptist church were delightfully entertained at the home of Mrs. O. M. Jones by the members of the society, on Green wood street. The object of this Missionary social was to arouse interest and enthusiasm in the great cause of missions and the study especially of the work of the Sunday School Board. Despite the inclement weather, the large attendance attested the the desire to rally to the work, and a lurge number of new mem bers were added to the roll. A thoroughly interesting pro gram had been prepared and was well carried out by the partici pants present. Especially happy were the open ing remarks and words of wel come to the new members by the president, Mrs. J. W. Reeves. A most timely and instructive talk on the origin* struggles and Work of the Sunday School hoard was given by the pastor, Rev. C. W. Durden. It was replete with information and will be very help ful. A general discussion of the local Sunday School work, its needs aud how to increase interest, was entered heartily into by a number present. The meeting was in every res pect, a most pleasant one and it is hoped will be of much profit to every one who was present. Doubt less it will be the means of increase in zeal on the part of those already interested and these, in turn will do pinch toward arousing others. Delicious refreshments of cake and cream were served and every one voted the hospitable hostess their heartiest thanks for the hap piness of the occasion. To Establish A Dairy. Mr. M. J. Oxford, of Thomas ton, has been in the city (his week, prospecting with a view of establishing a large dairy near Barnesville. Mr. Oxford was at the Experiment station at Grif fin, for five years and while there was under Mr. H. J. Wing, one of the noted experts of the country. He thinks he understands the business and he is satisfied that this is a good place to establish a dairy, run on scientific and business principles. Mr. Oxford wants to secure a convenient farm, adapted to the purpose and keep about twenty-five cows. He says he could furnish as good butter and milk as could be ob tained anywhere. He says that any surplus butter could be easily sold in the surrounding markets. He understands the manufactur ing of cheese also, but he doubts whether it would pay to under take this here. It is hoped that Mr. Oxford can make suitable arrangements for his enterprise. Prosperous But Still Improving. Mr. A. O. Murphey, secretary and treasurer of the Georgia Un derwear Mills, arrived in the city Monday afternoon from New York city, where he lias been about ten days in the interest of his mills. He went north for the purpose of buying a quantity of new machinery and transacting other important business. Since Mr. Murphey has boon in charge of this plant it has had u very prosperous career and it is con stantly enlarging and improving its equipment. It enjoys a splend id reputation and it always has all the orders that it can handle. The Georgia Underwear Mills is one of Barnesville’s most impor tant manufacturing enterprises.
