OFF FOR LONG WALK
Mr. George W. Sheram of Gog
gansville, one of Lamar county’s well
known Confederate veterans, left
Tuesday for Atlanta, from which
place he will start this week to Rich
mond, Va., to attend the Confed
erate Reunion, expecting ,to walk the
entire trip from Atlanta to Richmond.
He is 83 years old and such a long
walk will attract the attention and
admiration of thousands of people
throughout the state and south.
Mr. Sheram stated that he would
refuse all offers to ride and will take
his time in making the trip. All his
friends throughout this section will
wish him every pleasure and success
and hope for his safe return to his
home after the big reunion is over.

RADIO CONCERT
There will be a Radio Concert at
Gordon auditorium Friday evening
from 7 to 8 o’clock and from 9 to 10.
There will be a charge of 15 and 25
cents admission. The concert will be
something new for the city and will
doubtless be largely attended.
The Atlanta Journal will furnish
the program from 7 to 8 and the At
lanta Constitution from 9to 10. If
the weather conditions are favorable
the Pittsburg program will be given
from 8 to 9.
This will be a fine opportunity for
everybody who has not yet heard the
wonderful Radio concert to do so.
A THRILLING GAME
In one of the best ball games ever
seen in Bamesville, Gordon Institute
defeated Sixth District A. & M. Mon
day afternoon, 1 to 0. The only
tally of the game was made in the
second inning on two successive er
rors by the shortstop and third base
man of the A. & M. team. Frank
Alford, pitching for Gordon, fanned
fourteen men and allowed only two
hits, while Cox, for the A. & M. nine,
surrendered but one safety during the
entire game, and fanned six men.
Alford’s best work was done in the
ninth inning, when he filled bases and
then retired the side without a score.
Shugart, first man up in this inning,
walked. Aaron singled to left. Bid
dy fanned. Walker drew four wide
ones and filled the bases. Alford
fanned Arnold and Smarr hit over
second base, the ball looking good
for a single, but Pinkston, coming in
on the run, made a great catch for
the third out, thereby ending the
game and leaving three A. & M. run
ners on the sacks.
This is the first game between Gor
don and the A. & M., and the spirit
shown by the two teams and the peo
ple of the community was fine and
to be commended. The result of the
game showed that the A. & M. team
is one of the best prep teams in the
3tate, as Gordon had already estab
lished that record.
Score by innings: R. H.E.
Gordon 010 000 000—1 1 1
A. & M. 000 000 000—0 2 2
Batteries; Gordon, Alford and
Freeman; A. & M., Cox and Walker.

ADDED FINE MACHINE
The American Shoe Shop, under
the management of Mr. E. W. Ross,
who has made a big success of the
enterprise, has recently added a very
fine stitcher to its equipment, which
will enable Mr. Ross to turn out work
to much better advantage than here
tofore, although he has been greatly
pleasing his many patrons. The new
machine is a wonderful one and will
prove quite an addition to the shop.
Mr. Ross and Mr. Willoughby are
thoroughly reliable and do excellent
work. They deserve the fine patron
age they are receiving. They invite
the public to call to see them in their
new place of business, on the same
street, close to where they have been
located heretofore. Give them your
business.
