VOL. XXV.
GLENWOOD DOWNS
MT. VERNON TEAM.
The Olemvood boys rubed it in
to the home boys in a game of
ball last Thursday afternoon by
the score of 9 to 5.
In the first inning L. Morrison
scored the first run for the visitors.
In the second, three up and three
down. But ill the third they
chalked up six against the home
boys, and the fourth and fifth in
nings, one in each. The other four
innings they failed to get a man
over the rubber.
It was mighty tuff for the home
boy until the last half of the j
ninth, when they lit on the curves
of “Big” Rivers and swatted out
five runs.
In the fifth inning Arpad Hicks
went behind the bad and Durloo
went to left field. In the same |
inning there was a man on second
and one on third and no one out
when Julian Peterson knocked a
long drive out to deep left, which
was caught by Durloo, then
thrown to second and from there
to third, making one of the pret
tiest triples of the season.
The game was rotten up until
the fourth inning, when Mt. Vern
on made a lew changes in their
line-up, and from then on kept
the visitors puzzled,

SENSATIONAL POISONING
IN EMANUEL COUNTY.
A case t hat bids fair to he high-l
ly sensational from start to finish,
and that has created great excite
| ment in Emanuel county, was
caused by the death of Fred Flan
ders at Covena on June 4th.
The relatives of Flanders be
came suspicious of foul play af
ter his burial, and had his body
taken up and sent to Atlanta for
analysis. Arsenic was found in
the stomach and this, added to j
j former rumors, caused the arrest;
|of Flanders’wife and Dr. W. J.
; McNaughton. The latter was a
boarder in the Flanders home,and
left soon after the burial, but was
captured in Augusta, and taken 1
!to jail in Savannah, it being evi
dent that lynching would follow
j his return to Swainsboro.
The Flanders family is a large
and influential one, and Mrs.
Flanders is also highly connected
in Emanuel. Much interest has I
arisen all over southeast Georgia}
over the affair, and the trial w ill |
excite still greater interest.

MISSES SUTTON AND
ADAMS ENTERTAINS,
That the young people of Mt.
Vernon were well entertained by
Misses Sutton and Adams last
Tuesday evening, at the home of
Mrs. J. L. Adams, is the general
opinion of all who were present.
Indeed, it is rumored that cer
tain young men were so anxious
that the affair be a success, that
they assembled in unison, and
with one accord, several hours be
fore eight o’clock, and invoked
the intervention of each and every
deity, with whom they are ac
quainted, that no disturbances
of the weather might occur. It is
hoped that such interested, mani
fested by t.lie young men, be duly
appreciated by the fair sex.
Especially noticeable was the
grace and dignity with which
Misses lua Burch and Marion
Adams presided over the punch,
which was indeed delightful.
A number of contests were suc
cessfully carried out. Miss W il
lie Lou Cochran is congratulated
upon being the winner of the
prize.
It goes without saying that
those attending are unanimous m
entertaining • favorable opinion
of the success of the entire affair.

Misses Willie Lou Cochran,
Ruby Mumiii, Bessie Stuckey, Lu
cy McAllister, Myrtie Burch, Stel
la Morris, Inn and Addle Burch;
