SEASON-OPENER
i
A. & M. Makes Dozen or
more Errors, While Locust
Grove Plays Great Game
and Hits Ball Hard.
By “CHUG” COMBS.
Locust Grove, Ga., March 22,
1919. —In the opening game of the
season today Locust Grove over
whelms A. & M. on the local dia
mond by a 16 0 score. The game
was exceedingly ragged on the
A. & M. part, there never being
any doubt as to the outcome.
The local boys were in great
form, hitting the ball at will and
stealing bases as if they were in
mid-season form, in spite of the
fact that today’s game was the
opener.
Daniel pitched a great game,
giving up only two hits and fan
ning 14 men, while Tillman was
touched for 18 hits. The new
men on the Locust Grove club
showed up splendidly, Anderson
at first played great ball, besides
getting 3 hits and stealing 6 bases.
Locust Grove started the fire
works in the first inning—McGee
hit for three bases, he was squeez
ed in by Shearer; Farrar hit for
two bases and was followed by a
two-base hjt by Anderson, Ander
son stole third and home. A cou
ple more hits by Hammock and
Chandler along with an error net
ted the locals, another run.
Hits and stolen bases by Shear
er, Farrar, Anderson, Chandler
and Daniel netted 4 more runs in
the 3d. They scored likewise in
the sth, 7th and Bth innings.
Locust Grove plays Boys High
School at Locust Grove Saturday.

What I’d Rather Be-
Of all the bugs that crawl or fly,
I’d rather be the ’Skeeter;
I'd gre»M*e my wings anil uy away.
Some sweet gal for to eat her.
When I found a low-necked dressy
With arms that’s almost l>are,
I’d grind my bill an hour or two.
Then make herjscratch and rear.
And when I found an old maid toogh.
Of course I couldn't slight her; M
I’d just whiz/, and buzz around her ear.
But ah! I'd never bite her.
When I found that tender dood.
With peacock pomp and swell,
I’d pinch my nose, clinch my toes.
And give that doodie h-e-1-1.

lulaby of a fond mother's heart,
and about the last thing will be
heard over your dead body will
be the strains of music. In this
fast day of theoretical training and
of higher education the old tine
spiritual song worship is being rel
egated to the rear to some extent,
but music is divine and will last
throughout eternal ages. And
when the great church of God is
assembled around the great white
throne in heaven there will be
heard the sweetest music was ever
heard. Music in the church is
leading the world of mankind to
wards heaven, and the faithful
few in every church on earth who
are faithful to the cause of music,
will never know the great work
tliev have done until all redeemed
singers get home to heaven, then
it will be revealed.
