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.

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. B. Y. P. il. of State Not to Meet Bere On Account of Unusual Concessions and Splendid Oilers Organization Will Meet at Blue Kidge. Tiie local organisation of the B. Y. P. U. has given up claim on the state con vention of the organization, which was scheduled to be held here the last of June and first of July. Preparations were well under way for the gathering, but information of official nature was received by the committee in charge stating that Blue Ridge had given 200 acres of land, $5,000 in cash, builded an auditorium and make other concessions' REVIVAL MEETING AT lilt METHODIST CHURCH Rev. Ford KcRee and Rev. Geo. D, Stone Holding Interesting Meet-’ Ing and Will Continue Sever al Days. i The protr; cted meeting at the Meth odist church which was begun last Sun day has continued throughout the week with much succoss, great interest being manifested in the gatherings. Rev. Geo. D. iStone has assisted Mr. McRee in conducting the meeting and large crowds have been present on neatly all occasions. Two services daily, one in the morn ing tul one in the evening have been 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. he and they will continue throughout to the Baptist assembly and asked that ’ Sunday and probably a part of next the place bo dedicated by the B. 5. !’• j week. Co-operation and full support U. at the! ■. nnuul mnetmg. j has been given by the members of the The lo m committee met Wednesday 1 church, afternoon and gfter reviewing the situ-1 ation they decided to grant tho request j Mr. Tom Callaway has added a larg.v for Milledgeville to relinquish its claims new touring car to his collection of and consequently the annual meeting 1 horseless vehicles. will bo held at Blue Ridge sometime | during August. The B. Y. I’. U. hero Amusement company carries 168 poople 1 regret very much that Milledgeville 1 with it, special train of 11 cars, royal' loses the convention, but in acquiescing -ftalian band of 18 pieces end everything: to the appeal of the state committee they feel that they are submitting to a plan which will ultimately result in good to the organization.
