DATE FOR PICNIC FIXED.
Committee Meets and Decides
on May 26th as the Date r z z
Place at Ochlocknee.
The picnic committee from
the Sunday schools met at the
office of Singletary & Adkins
yesterday morning and finally
fixed both time and place for
holding the Annual Union
day-school picnic. The date
was set for Thursday, May 26th
in order to give the various com
mittees to be appointed by the
schools plenty of time to act in
the matter and complete all
rangements.
The place for holding the
nic is at the Ochlocknee
bridge on the Thomasville and
Cairo road. This was
best for various reasons,
only obtainable rate to
Springs was too high and
sides it is reported that
pox has been raging in that
cinity. The grounds at
Shade were found to be

CAIRO BEATS PELHAM.
Warm Game Played Yesterday
Which Results in Score of 8
to 4 in Favor of Cairo.
Quite an interesting game of
ball was played on the local
diamond yesterday between the
teams of Cairo and Pelham
which resulted in a score of 8 to
4 in favor of Cairo, with Cairo
not taking their haJf of the
ninth inning.
The game was called at about
4 o’clock, and the playing was
fine, and the score very close
up to the fourth inning, only
one run being credited to each
team. About this-time things
began to warm up and the
Cairo boys put in some good
hits and ran up their score. All
of the players did good work,
but the prettiest work of all
was by Pearce in the box. Ben
Mauldin made the only home
run, though a couple of three
baggers .were hit.
We are requested by the
boys to thank the people for
their liberal attendance and j
also Mr. W. D. Barber for
courtesies shown them in the
W £ ay of transportation to and
f rom the grounds. We com
men( t the fair manner in which
j p) r> E. Oliver umpired the
game.
Few wrong decisions were
made during the game and
these were unintentional upon
his part. There were many close
decisions to be made and the Dr.
showed a quick eye.
The Pelham boys played
clean, good ball and are indeed
a gentlemanly set. They were
nicely entertained here and went
away well pleased with thegame.
Hurrah for Cab o.
Fire Narrowly Averted.
What came near being a se
rious conflagation was narrowly
averted by the vigilance of night
Policeman Brinson Tuesday
night. About nine o’clock he
discovered a blaze at the rear
corner of the residence of Mr.
W. H. Robinson. Giving the
alarm by firing his pistol, he set
in to extinguish the flames,
which was accomplished before
half could arrive. The fire was
caused by hot ashes being put
in a wooden box and set our bv
the corner of the building. Had
the officer been less vigilant or
even a few moments late in ar
riving, a serious fire would
have resulted.
