'However, they had rousing cheers from the large crowd anil with out a tremor of exe tement one man after another walked to the bat and despite the beat playing possible on the part of the Mercer boys, safe hits were landed. When the score was tied pandemonium reigned supreme and the dashing finish was made when a two bagger put the b ueman over the home plate and all was done. A feature of the gum ? was that not a single man went to the^first on balls. Only one man was touched by a pitcher and on tho whole the game was up to the highest notch in the way of ball playing.

Becnuse Milledgeville is easily reach ed from all points of the compass and the people are charitably inclined the tramps|and beggars of every descripti -n make this city their Mecca, begging daily. There is a city law against such practice, but seemingly worthy cases can hardly be turned down. However, it develops that quite a number of the apparently most worthy cases are frauds and for this reason it is urged that a meeting be called for the purpose of organizing a charitable association for dispensing with those cases and with some others that neve," call for public aid, but which are excep tionally worthy.
