THREE OUT OF FIVE
MEW TEAM WON FOUR OUT OF
s|\ GAMES LAST WJ EK—LEFT
s esterday for wa .HINGTON
l OH T HREE GAMES.
Th,. I I toys won three out of live
L iuties from the fast Madis n team last
woek. They played (he 1 rst two at
Madison, winning the first and losing
,} w second. Then Madis< 11 returned
the visit for two games, taking the first
!in ,l losing the second played on the
local grounds. The fifth game, which
decided the winne r of the series, was
played at Madison Friday, th e final
„,.ore being 4 to 3 in favor of Coving¬
ton.
Saturday the Atlanta A togas team
came down to cross hats with the local
team and was defeated by a score of 5
to 4. Covington made four runs u>
the first inning, and this seemed to
take all the pepper out of the game,
l.ec and Clapp featured with the stick
p.r the home hoys, Clapp getting a
homer and I.ee a three b< gger arid a
single.
The fast Lawrenceville team came
up Monday for the first t mi,, against
Covington and defeated rh,. latter by a
score of 2 to 1. This was one of the
most interesting games of the season,
both sides playing excellent hall.
Covington left yesterday for Wash¬
ington, where they go for a three
game series with that fast team.
Washington has th e only team who can
boast of taking a series from Covington
this year. The hoys are confident they
will take two out of the three, if not
three straights.
Just ris we go to press the news
came here that the first game played
against Washington resulted in a tie,
the score being 3 to 3 in the ninth and
was called on account of darkness

MINISTER AND CONGREGATION
REMOVE COATS DURING SERVICE
Atlanta. August 11.—During the
heated days of August if has been sug¬
gested in several of the rural and
suburban churches around Atlanta that
it would he a good idea to allow the
men to remove their coats during ser¬
vice. In one or two instances it has
been tried with comfortable and satis¬
factory results all round.
One minister, before starting to
preach, asked permission of the ladies
and then pulled off his coat, inviting
others of the congregation to do like¬
wise.

weeks, is f
the belief of Congressman
Samuel .1 .Tribble, of the eighth dis¬
trict. This was gained from a con¬
versation with a representative of the
News Monday afternoon. And should
international affairs take this turn he
fears for the price of cotton because
of the nervous situation which would
he brought about.
Congressman Tribble has recently
returned from Washington, D. C.,
where he went to protest against the
proposed change of doubling up the
rural routes in this district. He has
caused the matter to be held up for
a, least two months.
The eighth district representative is
visiting various sections of his dis
tret looking after the interest of his
constitutents although most of his
time is being speri f over th e proposed
change in the rural free deliveries.
Th e following is a letter from Con¬
gressman S J. Tribble in regard to
th e above article:

en a personal conversation I had with

then, nor do I desire to make any now
for publication, blit I think proper
for me to state that the reporter mis¬
understood the language used.
You will favor me by giving this pub.
lioity In your paper.
Very truly.
(Signed) S. J. TRIBBLE.
In justice to Mr. Trihble wp publish
the above with pleasure, and in behalf
of our reporter, we will say that he
was not eaves-dropping. but was the
friend Mr. Tribble spoke of in his letter
as having talked with.

NOW FOREST ADAIR
HAS HIM A BEAR
Atlanta, August Id.—“Now you’ve
got it, what are you going to do with
it?” is the question Potentate Forest
Adair is asking himself with reference
to the live bear cub which was given
him by admiring Shriner friends of the

trip to eht international convention.
When Mr. Adair went west as the
head of the Georgia delegation he was
showered with attention as the man
who had headed the entertainment of
the big convention in Atlanta the year
before. Among th e things he brought
bqok was a live hear, ni the baggage
car. on the end of a chain. Mr .Adair
is a lover of pets, and on his hand¬
some grounds in beautiful Druid Hills
h e has hundreds of fine pigeons, squir¬
rels and other pets. Ru f the idea of
a real live bear in an exclusive resi¬
dence neighborhood is one which Mr.
Adair *is not sur e he can convince his
family or friends as a desirable one.
He may make the city a present of it,
in which case Bruin will become a
resident of Grant Park.

KEEP YOUR DOLLARS
IN YOUR HOME TOWN
Atlanta. August 11. —The proper way
to boost your own home town is a sub¬
ject which has Interested many a will¬
ing citizen who has learned from ob¬
servation that the real booster Is not
the man who throws his hat up in the
ai r and runs up and down the street
calling attention to himself while shout
ing “Hurrah for Bingville,” or what
ever the name of his town happens to
be.
Boosting is actively doing the things
that "’ill make for prosperity in your
locality. Th e most practical form of
ull is paronizing your home stores and
your home industries, buying at home
and keeping money at home. A dollar
spent in your home town runs the
rounds in your home town and does
local good all along the line. When you
send your dollar ou ( of town, it’s
“Goodbye dollar.”
Mutual helpfulness in a commercial
way is th e way to put “pep” and “gin¬
ger” into any community large or
small.
