The watch dogs bark and ganders quack, and

Tiie peacock spreads his tail and squawks, pigs

Scout Bobby Gilks, of the New York

team, shut out the Moulders in a hitlesB

Complaints frequently reach The
Herald office that the city’H numerous
automobile ordinances are daily and
hourly violated, and that, so far as hap
less pedestrians are concerned, no effor t
is made to enforce them. The speed
ordinance is really a joke. Automobiles
continue to dash along the streets in
t he business part of town at 20 to 30
miles an hour, und siinilur recklessness
is displayed in rounding corners from
one street into another, while at inter
secting points no safeguariis whatever
are employed to prevent collisions. A
number of serious accidents have been
narrowly uverted during recent months
because of a wanton disregard of the
precautions prescribed by the city or
dinances. They should he either en
forced or repealed.
Checker Tournament. — A checker
tournament, arranged by the State
Checkers' Association ami played under
the auspices of the Newnan’ Checker

Senoia, Madras, Moreland and Sargent.

his ability realize thut there will he a
battle royal ut the coming meet.
The Strand, the popular playhouse,
has hooked another exlru fine pro
gramme for next week. Monday’s fea
ture will be a 3-act Essanay, “A Lesson
in Romance.” It is one of the prettiest
stories ever seen here, the splendid
stars, E. H. Calvert • nd Lillian Drew,

day Barbara Tennant will Htar in “The
Masked Woman,” a World Film fea
ture in four acts. On the same day
Lillian Walker appears in a 2-act com
edy. Friday the Biograph Co. will pre
sent the famous old play, “Adarn
Bede.’’ You have, no doubt, read this
book. On the same day Earle Williams
and Anita Stewart will appear. Be
sure to see these stars, uh they will
play the leads in “The Goddess, ” which
starts at The Strand on Monday, July
19. “It’s always cool and pleasant at
The Strand.’’
Baseball, Baseball, Baseball!
The “Glorious Fourth of July,”
which falls on Sunday this year, will be
fittingly observed next Monday when
Newnan and LaGrange cross hats in
two games of ball. The first game will
he played in LaGrange Monday morn
ing at 9:45 o’clock, and the second
game will be played at Newnan at 4 p.
m., Monday. This arrangement will
give the fans an opportunily of seeing
both games, as they can go down to
LaGrunge on train No. 35 Monday
morning and return on t.jain No. 40,
which leaves LaGrange at 11:50 a. m.
On the result of these games will de
pend in a large measure Newnan’s
chances for the pennant, and it be
hooves us to stimulate and encourage
the team by a large attendance and
vociferous rooting. You can celebrate
the national holiday by attending both
games. The low railroad rate from
Newnan to LaGrange and return und
the convenient schedules make it possi
ble for us to see the games; and re
member that Newnan iH counting on
your presence. If Griffin can charter a
special train to see their second division
team in action, surely we can send a
representative gathering to LaGrange
next Monday morning, and be on hand
at Lee Park at 4 o’clock in the after
noon. Don’t you think, gentle reader,
that the team is entitled to your pat
ronage this year? Bear in mind this
fact: Harry Matthews is the first real
manager that Newnan has ever had,
and the old boy has put his heart, soul
and bedy into the game. He is for New
nan first, last and forever, and his one
aim is to give the fans a pennant. He
has won more than one game thin year
by his generalship, and the baseball
public should rise up and call him
blessed. He has developed our pitching
staff, and materially put Newnan on
the map by his handling of the slants
of Nabors. He has likewise developed
young Terry, and the latter’s no-hit
game in Anniston last Wednesday is
due to the coaching of Matthews. Re
member this, ye faithful: Newnan has
only lost two home series this season,
and both losses were due to the fact
that Matthews was trying out home
products in the pitching department.
Iri conclusion, the writer has but this
to Bay: The more you see of the
genial and good-natured Harry Mat
thews the better you will like him; and
if you haven’t seen much of him this
year, Monday, July 5, will be a fine
time to see him in action, when he will
be leading his huskies to victory.
The series now being played with
Rome is a crucial one.
