ATLANTIC STEEL CO. WINS FROM L.G.I. IN ELEVENTH INNING. •By “CHUG” COMBS. In ten innings of the hardest fought baseball in many a day at Locust Grove, the strong Atlantic Steel Co. team won from the L. G. I. boys in the eleventh inning. Combs pitched a splendid game for seven innings, but after that weakened and was hit freely. Luck was all that saved him in the eighth. But in the eleventh the Atlantic Steel Co. manager sent in a pinch hitter; he was hit by a pitched ball, then two-base hits by Parker and Griffin, and a couple of bingles by one member of the gang netted them four runs, thereby winning the old baseball game by a 6-2 score. The only features of the game was the hitting of Poland and base running by Anderson and the jam up playing of the whole Atlantic Steel Co. baseball team. Box Score Atl. Steel Co.

Fraser and Leon Blankenship, Clovis Berry and several others motored to Atlanta last Sunday. A nice shower was welcomed here Thursday night, which will help garden truck very much. Last Sunday was such a lovely dav that we could not stay in doors. We took a stroll in the afternoon through our city, visit ing the cemetery, city hall, library and viewing many other beautiful buildings, among them being the postoffice, court house and many other homes, finally wending our way homeward by the terminal, which is a nicely arranged struc ture. We have always heard that Griffin was a pretty place, and so we find it, especially since nature has clothed it in her coat of green. We saw vaults in the cemetery which had been built years ago. They were a sight to one who had never seen anything of the kind. We were a little bit lonely today because our minds wander back to the Sabbaths our boys were in camps and how in the early after noon when they would spend the week-ends at home we would be- HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McPONOUGH, GEORGIA The Fowler Cultivator The Fowler Cultivator, with only one horse or mule, will cover eight acres per day at one trip to the row, leaving the soil in a perfect condition to retain moisture, moving above-the roots of the growing crop, and completely destroying all grass and weeds The most difficult problem the American Farmer has to solve today, is how to raise a maximum crop in the face of an unprecedented labor shortage.

There fore, you will never know the gratitude which we feel. We shed tears of joy and still feel that the joys outweigh the sorrows, and that the cross is not greater than the crown. Mr. Clifford Buckalew and little sisters, Mary and Etta Mae, of Mc- Donough, were guests of relatives in Griffin last week-end.
