Judge N. E. Harris, of Macon, spoke
in the court-house Saturday morning in
the interest of his candidacy for the
Governorship. He was introduced by
Major W. A. Turner, and his speech
made a good impression upon those who
heard him. Since Hon. Hugh Dorsey
and Hon. Jos. E. Dunson have de
cided not to enter the contest for
the Governorship quite a number of
their friends will probably line up
for Judge Harris;—at any rate, this
seems to be the drift at present.

A Word to the Fans.”
After the present series with GadB
den, which ends next Tuesday, (June
30,) the Newnan “fans” will have only
twenty more home games—twelve in
July and eight in August. Tho team
has twenty-nine games to play in hos
tile territory, and to win the pennant
they must annex a big percentage of
the remaining home games.
After the series with Rome, which
ends July 4, the boys go to Opelika for
four games, and return homo on July
10 to tackle Opelika. This series will
be followed by a trip to LaGrange for
four games, and in return LaGrange
will come here for a like number. Tal
ladega then comes for a farewell HcrieH,
and again we “hit the road.”
Now, as to the present series, which
is Gadsden’s last appearance here: The
teams are tied, with a record of three
each, and it behooves us now to untie
it. These games count hh much as any
in the pennant race, and let’s go out
and get. them. The “fans” can do much
in this respect by their attendance and
enthusiasm, and the baseball associa
tion urges them to turn out. The dyed-
in-the-wool “fan” nevor misses u
game, hut there are scores of people
who are not coming at ail to the games.
Put on your old grey bonnet, get out
that old palm leaf fan, and come to
these games.
