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 so this place was abandoned. reasonable r te could have secured to Bainbridge, but number of citizens were to that city. It was that the school grounds be 111 shape and the affair held there, but as tffie children most of their time out there, committee decided it be’st to elsewhere. The river seemed the most suitable, most convenient and the est to reach, so this was upon.

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. Produce Market. (Corrected Weekly By Wight Bros.)
