Biy Moguls ol Aggregation Made
Arrangements For Next Year.
The Newark baseball team left Mil
ledgeville last Saturday morning on
their return trip home and they carried
with them a memento in the shape of a
special address from the town
and <!. M. C. authorities. A
large crowd met in the dining room of
The Bladwin Friday night and
Mayor Bell presided over one of the
prettiest little meetings ever held in the
city. He told them how the officials
valued the visit from the standpoint of
publicity and in acquainting people with
the real a Wantages here and expressed
the hope that they would come again.
Prof. Reynolds, president of the G.
M. C. delivered a splendid address to
the assembled ball players, telling them
they acted as gentlemen and had the
b »st wishes of everybody here for suc
cess and he trusted they would come
back again. After the (address was
finished he handed the parchment to
Harry Wolverton, nAnagerof the team,
who in a gentle way, thanked him and
declared that he was coming back. Joe
McGinnity. sby and coy, in such a crowd,
plainly showed his appreciation. Bud
Sharpe, who coached the G. M. C.
team this season said he was coming
back too, and Jim Gould, of the Newark
Star was called upon to say a word and
he did it quite well far a newspaper
man.
Arrangements were made with the
college authorities and with Mrs. Jack-
son, proprietess of The Baldwin, for
the coming of the team here to prac
tice'next spring.

MILLEDGEVILLE. GA.
Will Known spi rll ig Writer Gives the
News Exclusive Story o! Inside
Impressions ol City.
By James M. Gould
To sny that the Newark taim-both
officials and players, were pleased at
their selection of Milledgeville at the
location for thoir trainin: grounds, j
would indeed be superfluous. On every
side, they have been met by uniform
courtesy and the world-renowned South- j
ern hospitality. Everything that could |
be done to give their lew weeks of cor.- 1
ditioning an impetus and to add to their j
creature comforts, has been d no and it
is certain that when the next spring^
rolls around and arrangements for a
training ground are bring made, this j
pretty little town will not be overlook-,
ed. j
For many of the boys, it was their
first trip as far south as Georgia and
many of the customs were at first
strange. For instance, it seemed queer
to see children, bare-footed, going into
places of Divine Worship and yet, there
is absolutely no reason whv this should
not be, though it was a strange sight to
those of us lrom the country north of
the Mason and Dixon line. The
grounds, donated by the Georgia Mili
tary College, were eminently fitted for
training purposes and were most con
veniently situated. As for the students
at that school, nothing could be more
courteous or helpful than their treat
ment of the visiting ballplayers.
It was also a strange, though, it must
be confessed, a convenient, sight, to
see a freight car standing in front of
any store, for which some freight had
been consigned. It certainly was an
advantage over the methods in the
North, with our delays in delivery and
•our excessive charges for same. Both
President McGinnity and Manager Wol
verton have been tickled to death at
their selection of a conditioning? camp
and both say that everything, possibly
omitting the weather of a few days,
has been just about ideal.
Due acknowledgment must be given
to the Knights of Pythias, in Milledge-
ville for their hospitality in opening to
the team, their cdsy club-rooms, with
the free U3o of pool tables, reading
ro i etc. On!v»one who knows how
pro'essionpl 1 all-players hate to tit
around a hotel, when prevented, liy
rain, from practising, can appreciate
just what it means for the hoys to have
some place to go where good, clean
amusement can be hud an.I wnoro they
are made, as they surely have been,
since here, to foal as welcome as though
they were in their own homes.
At the hotel, the l.odily comfoit of
the boy3 has been carefully provided for
and the town is to do congratulated on
having such a comfortable and altogot
her first-class hostelry. It is n big assr^.
toanytown.no matter how large or
how small and you can bo sure that
people all over the state know what
good accomo iations can bo secured
here. As a lowly and humble member
of the “working press’ , I can but add
my little mite to the general fund of
gratitude which we Newarkers owe to
the townspeople of Milledgeville and
this I heartily do, for it has never been
my pleasure to have been treated so
royally, while far away from home.
In conclusion, I would say that, if the
Newark players are as firmly enscon
ced in the hearts of the ' residents of
Milledgeville as those same people are
in the aflectiona of the players, we must
all feel pretty good aoout it. Certain
it is. that the members of the training
squad are unanimous in saying that
this town is the pick of the South, and
when you say that, belieye me, you
have bestowed rh high a compliment as
it is possible for residents of one section
of the country to pay to another.

SPLENDID LECTURE AT STEAJY ADVANCEMENT
COLLEGE S TURDAY
Last Saturday evening Lou Beau
champ, author, lecturer and traveler,
delivered one of the most instructive
and interesting lectures ever given at
the Georgia Normal and Industrial col
lege. His subject was “The Sunny
Side” and though he kept the audience
—composed, of course, virtually
of students of the college—on the
bright side, still he spoke mainly of the
serious side, maintaining well his posi
tion that even the serious side of life
could be made sunny.
The advice, coming from a man of
experience, is doubly valuable, and it
goes without saying that many of the
tilings he told the students will be
weighed by them in after years. The
college authorities are congratulated
on securing him for the occasion and it
is impossible to estimate just how valu
able such an address is to the students
of any institution that may be so fortu
nate as to have him for a lecture.

FOR REAL ESTATE
Property Has More Than Uoulilcd In
Value In Last Few Years and In
dicatlons Point In Continuance.
The opening up of desirable new re
sidence property in Milledgeville af
fords a splendid opportunity to one to
own a home. The man without some re
al estate holding will soon be entirely
eliminated from the possibility of ac
quiring such possessions, especially in
this section as property is advancing so
rapidly. A striking illustration of this
is demonstrated in the case of Jefferson
street property. Not a house, or lot
can be purchased there under any re
asonable teams.
Mr. J. O. Bloodwortii. who has form
ed a partnership with Mr. Grover Blood-
worth, is offering for sale several de
sirable lots in Milledgeville and on May
5, next, he will sell at auction 32 de
sirable lots in West End on the Schell
property. Everybody acquainted with
Milledgeville knows that this is splen
did real estate and it is rumored that
the new union depot projected for Mil-
ledgdville will be located close by this
place, making the property very valu-
i ble indeed. It will probably be only a
matter of a few years before the record
of Jefferson street will be repeated in
the case of West End.
The best plan is to go out and inspect
the premises, settle upon the lot you
want and when sales day comes around
go out and get it. The general interest
manifested in the auction shows that
Milledgeville people realize that real
estate is honest value and in this in
stance something extra good is offered
them.
