ison, But Lost Two Straights to Monroe.
Games Stand Even—2 to 2.
Last Wednesday afternoon Madison !

with Tuesday’s game, which resuited I
in a victory for Covngton by '
a score
of 8 to 0. The Madison boys put up
a good fight for thei r money but were
I*eaten in the tenth inning by a score
of 3 to 2. Gibson featured for th e lo¬
cal boys, getting one single and two
doubles out of tour times up, and i
t
breaking up the game in th e tenth by
driving a hot one through short, seor
ing Moore, who was on third.
Rattle did the twirling for Covington
and pitched an excellent game, strik- ;
ing out seven men. He was received
by Covington’s sta t - catcher, Newsom,
who is one of the best ametuer cat¬
chers in the state. The local boys
only made four errors in the ten in¬
nings and Madison four. These two
teams were about equally matched, as
's evidenced by the score, botli teams
playing good clean ball.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
ENDS ITS THIRD WEEK
Atlanta. Ga., July 13.—Th,, Georgia
Legislature ended its third week to¬
day. and from the general tenor of
corridor chat it is evident that th^ ses
sion will not he marked by any freak
legislation. The members appear to
fie frowning upon all attempts to put
over nn erratic bill and to be of tbe
opinion that th 0 state has plenty of
general laws if they ar P enforced.
But few measures of general na¬
ture have passed, and the flood of new
bills have been mostly of a local na¬
ture. It promises to be th,* most con¬
servative session in years and the most
devoid of oratory, though largely com¬
posed of new members, who usually
are anxious to attain fame by their
eloquence.

NEWTON'S CORN
CROP VERY GOOD
NEWTON’S FARMERS AND BOYS’
CORN CLUB WILL BREAK THE
RECORD ON FINE CORN THIS
SEASON.
If you wish to see some corn that
will make you forget to complain of
hard times and stop you from think¬
ing about th e war visit the following
homes:
A. M. Owen, near the Tabor Church.
Joe Owens, near Almon.
Jim Cook, at Mt. Zion.
.T. O. Adams, Dixie.
Cliff Skinner, Starrsville.
Cleveland Adams, Evergreen Farm.
Emory Hays, Hayston

Newton this year will make a show thU
fall that will b e a revelation to their
fathers.
Newton county seems certain to pro
(luce the greatest corn crop this year
