MOONLIGHT PICNIC AT THE r;ver FERRY. Last Tuesday night a crowd of. young people from here had a moonlight picnic down at the! f erry. The party left early in the; evening and returning about 10i o’clock that night. About sun-; set refreshments were spread on ' the ground and all enjoyed them-; selves very much. They went down in buggies and automo-! biles. Thoso who were invited werej Misses Bessie Stuckey, Jeddie Cockfield, Lucy McAllister, Ruby Mason, Esther Hosch, Marrie Sutton; Messrs. Tom Mcßae, Arpad Hicks, Mark McLemore, Fred McAllister, Jim A. McAllis ter and Will Evans. Mesdames Wm, Bland and W. B. Kent went along as chaperons. LAWYERS GET HO PAY FOR TIGER PROSECUTIONS, Albany, Ha.. May 10. Law yers appointed by Judge Frank Park, upon the recommendation of the grand jury, to assist Soli citor Heneral W. K. Wooten in the prosecution of the famous locker club case, and other al leged prohibition violation cases, will get no money for their ser vices from the County of Dough erty. Solicitor General Wooten’s bill for SIOO, to cover this expense, was yesterday turned down by the count> commissioners, al though Colonel Wooten stated that he had paid the money out j of his own pocket. The action of the commission ers was taken on the advice of | I. J. Hofmayer, county attorney.* who said t hat the commissioners had no authority to pay the hill. A peculiar coincidence in this connection is that Colonel Wooten and Mr. Hofmayer are law part ners, thus paresenting a ease in which one attorney renders a de cision that has the effect of tak ing a neat little sum of money out of his partner's pocket that is unless the two attorneys who assisted the solicitor general see tit to reimburse him. Another feature is the fact that Mr. Hofmayer represented Commercial Club in the conrt proceedings, as a result of which that organization went out of-business. The two lawyers who were ap pointed by Judge Park to assist Colonel Wooten in prosecuting the locker club and some blind tiger cases, were Col. R. J. Bacon, of this city, and Col. J. 11. Tipton, of Sylvester. They were appointed at the fall term of Dougherty superior court. * | The HT. VERNON BANK j! IMT. VERNON.

The Freshmans from the dormitorys accompanied by Miss Cone and Miss Upshaw being already there. When we reached the spot we began our games. Partners were made by match ing leaves. There we had a con test called Penny Wise. The couple whose guesses were all correct, which were Daucas Mc- Rae and Walter Lee, received a prize. Some kodack pictures were taken which were engaged in this game. Drop the handkerchief, cross questions and crooked answers, dumbo crambeo and dodge and other enjoyable games. We gave several Freshman yells | and late in the afternoon we j sat on the grass and ice cream, cake and lemonade were served. After being some what rested we palyedafew more games. At half after five we turned our faces homeward after having enjoyed the day to the utter most. Rippity! Rah! Rippity! Rah! Freshmans! Freshmans! Ha! Ha! Ha! A Freshman.

VERNON BEAT j BV M'RAE TEAM. i Mcßae’s second ball team came down Monday and beat the home boys to the tune of 7to 5. There were many errors made on both sides. About the fifth inning the home boys were looking around for the tall timbers. This is the second game the Mt. Vernon boys have lost this season, and they expect to get in shape and beat the Mcßae team in the near future—if poosible. We must say that the team from Mcßae was composed of a clean set of ball players and won the friendship of all who had the pleasure of meeting them. Herschel McAllister did the pitching for the home boys while Carl Geiger did the receiving act. The many errors of our boys : caused the defeat. LOUD IN THOMASVILLE. Thomasville, Ga., May 6. — “Colonel” Charles B. Loud ar rived here this afternoon in charge of Chief Milton, and is safely lodged in the county jail. Chief Milton says that he found a notification awaiting him here from Bainbridge stating j that as soon as the Thomasville parties were through with Loud, , that he was wanted in Bainbridge ■on similar charges. Loud is well remembered here iby many people, who met him during his stay here last year. He made a good impression on many who met him, and several prominent men were caught by his Mexican land scheme, among them a minister of one of the churches here. He told them he lid not want any money for their shares of the land, but on ly enough to help pay for a charter, and they are out that : much. Loud is said to be wanted in Marianna, Fla., Chipley and half a dozen other places in this sec | tion.
