They thought.they had us Pat,”
But we changed their way of
thinking : L
When Barpett went to bat. %
When he walked up to bat ‘
+He used it kinder Tazy, e
But he landed one to center-field
That run two players crazy.
There is one way I see to win
And I guess we'll have to use it—
Is do like Barnett—get a bat,
Hit the old ball and lose it.
Keep on Barnett, you can hit,
This everybody knows.
If you use that way of batting
You will always wear good
clothes.
: T T—T——
Just wait until we are in a tight
Then get a bat and hit it.
And pray to God that it may go
So far till two can’t get it.
Home Run Barnett is your name,
July the Fourth won your fame.
Throughout this country men
must know
It was Barnett that changed the
score. :
"Twas Mr. Fuss that made the tie,
Then Cordele fans began to sigh.
But when Barnett sent one to the
sky
I thought the Fitzgerald fans
would die.

FOURTH OF JULY PARTY.
An original and one of the most
elaborate and unique .parties of
the season was that given by Mis

Venable at Miss Major's home
Monday evening from 8:30 to 10
o'clock in honor of the visiting
young ladies, Misses Marian
Bradfield, Clyde Minnis and Con
ny Paulk.
Miss Halloween Venable met
the guests at the door, and as
they entered their breath was
nearly taken away by the abun
dance of flags and bunting used
in the rooms to make it look like
the Fourth of July. Handsome
roses, very choice flowers of Mrs.
Majors, were used in profusion.
In the dining room on the table
was a large basket of red and
white verbena tied with a huge
bow of red maline. The patriotic
colors were also carried out in
the honor guests costumes and
those of the assistants in enter
taining.
~ The guests were first given a
sheet of paper, two pins and
small flag from which to make
her an appropriate hat to wear for
the occasion. Each girl designed
a three-cornered George Wash
ington hat. They were then given
a contest leaflet and the first
game was “Follow the Leader.”
(Miss Hattie Taylor, as Captain,
gave directions for drawing ar
ticles used on the Fourth and the
girls drew, not knowing what
they were making until finished.
Next was the guessing contest
“What Our Grandmothers: Missed
140 Years Ago.” Miss Mildred
Hanger reccived the prize, a crepe
de chien handkerchief. The guests
of honor were also presented with
dainty handkerchiefs. Next was
a fishing party. From behind a
bank of flags the girls fished up
red liberty bells, which told them
something interesting about their
tuture.
Those assisting in entertaining
were: Miss Halloween Venable,
Mrs. Bennett and Mrs, Majors.
Punch and candies were served
during the evening and at the
\close an ice course consisting of
block cream in red and white
stripes and square cakes with the
American flag flying from them.
