MAYER & JOKES, >alace Building, WASHINGTON ST. The Broad street artesian well is once more the point of assembly for the young folks In the afternoon. Summer always sees the well a seene of laughter and merry-making just before dark, and it is a famous plaoe of rendezvous for sweethearts and lovers. If a person could record all that transpired around the well, in a single afternoon, it would fill a very interesting volume. From 6 o’clock until dark, the boys march to the well from Broad street, and are met by the girls who come from the other direc tion. They then pair off and radiate in all directions to their homes.

Seventeen and twelve runs in three Innings. Find us two teams that can do better. • The Fats and Leans who played at the base ball park yesterday, we mean. And how they did play) They went Into the game with the enthusiasm of 12-year-olds, and played us though their lives depended on it. The threatening weather and the slight sprinkle at the first of the game did not serve to dampen their ardor in the least. The game was called at a little after 4 o’clock and the Fat men went to the bat. Mr. Kd. It. Jones went Into the box for the Leans, and.Mr. W. K. Hilsmnu tied a pillow across his chest for a protector and went behind the bat to “catoh ’em out.” The Fut men were all hard hitters, but finding that the ball did not al ways stand In the way of the bat to arrest the stroke, the bat itself went often flying toward third base and*the batter bit the dust, literally. But the Leans did not get in trim for work during the first inning, and, consequently, the Fats made nine runs and started on tile second round be fore tlie third matt was put out. When the Leans got u chance at the bat, they went in with a determina tion to "shut ’em out,” and It looked as though they would succeed for they were all "fiy hitters” and "high' flit ters,” and the way they sped around the diamond, with now two men on one base and now three, caused their op ponents tu think that they did not have things ail their own way! There came near being a serious ao- oident down near third base when two fielders, after the same fly ball, eatne together witli a shock like the Ilell- gate explosion. But as both men crawled away on their hands and knees after the ball, the spectators concluded that no harm was done, One man on first base tried to stop the ball with hla hat. Failing In that attempt, some one suggested to him that he put on skirts and maybe he could then stop a grounder. At the end of the third Inning the game stood 17 to 12 In favor of the Lean men, and the umpire waa obliged to call the game on account of the rain. The Leans are Indignant over the result of the game aa kept by the scorer. They emphatioally claim that their side made more runs by six than did the Fnts, but that the umpire, pos sesalng a superabundance of adipose tissue himself, sympathized with that aide, and, consequently, his rulings were In their favor. They are laying low for that urn pire. Worth county held her Democratic mass meeting Monday. Col. Bill Harris, Chairman, of the Democratic Kxecutive Committee of the county, was in the chair, and pre sided with his usual grace and stern dignity, but the AMiauuemeii were in the saddle, and had everything their own sweet way. The meeting Indorsed candidate Stevens for Congress and Judge J. II. Guerry for Attorney-General, and nlsn indorsed the present State House offi cers with the exception of Governor Northen. “Why did they refuse to Indorse Governor Northen?" asked a Herald scribe of a Worth county man who at tended the convention. “Don’t know, unless It was on ae count uf his spat with 1’ost,” was the reply. Delegates were elected as follows: To the Gubernatorial Convention— W. A. Harris and Dr. W. J. Hall. To the Congressional Convention— G. G. Ford, Jackson Davis, ,T. M. LIp- pltt, T. L. Kitchen. They were In structed to vote for O. B. Stevens. To the Senatorial Convention—J. J. McDowell, W. L. Story, Dr. W. L. Sikes, 0. G. Dell, J. S. Boone. They were instructed to abide the rotation rule, and, tills being Dougherty coun ty's time, to vote for this county’s choice. Resolutions offered by Editor Allen, of the Worth Local, Indorsing the State and National Democratic plat forms, and reaffirming allegiance to the time-honored principles of De mocracy were voted down.

In fact, they must have an overwhelmingly strong attachment for the national game if the following story be true. The Hebald does not vouch for its truthfulness, but gives it es it was told; A worthy and respected oltlzen of Montezuma died this week, so the atory goes, and waa to have been buried Tuesday. But as tbe under taker and the pall-bearers wanted to see the ball game, the funeral was postponed until Wednesday afternoon. But when Wednesday afternoon came, undertaker and pall-bearers had forgotten the funeral completely, and when searched for were found at the ball game vigorously “’rahlng” for Montezuma. They could not be In duced to leave, and so the funeral had to be postponed another day. Whether the frleqds and relatives were able to get the corpse Interred yesterday or not, the Herald is unable to state. “I wad I wa’ a block of ice,” would furnish a good theme for some aspiring young poet A spelling bee was held, Tuesday night, at the residence of Mr. F. R. Sweat. It was an informal, neighborhood affair and everybody who wanted to, spelled. Two classes were formed. The first class was headed by Miss Josie Me. Clellan on one side and Misa Lollie Johnson on the other, and Miss Hattie Hail, daughter of Mr. A. Hall, waa the last to go down. Mr. O. P. Lunday gave out the words, using Swlnlon’s spelling book, but put In a generous sprinkling of such words as "symmetry,” “assafos- tidk,” and other like words tended to confuse the brain and twist the tongue. The second matoh was headed by two gentlemen, and Mr. E. H. Crain downed them all, after which the com pany adjourned to rest their weary brain* and refresh the inner man on ice cream and cake. The occasion was so enjoyable and laughter-pro voking that there was talk of organ izing a spelling soolety. The threatening weather just at the ‘ ■ fi beginning of the game frightened away the crowd, but, in spite of that, there were enough ladles present to give Inspiration to the players. A sum of something over (20 was realized for the Confederate monu rnent. THE BOVS CADE HOUR. In Vlci.rr It Perches Dpet Btnet. Their KeroNCec, ISO Preef, Tew Cent*.

The Albany nine came home last night, but no brass band met them at the depot, and no ovation was given them. All that can be said 1b that they have returned. The result of the game at Mont* zuma yesterday was 18 to 8 in favor of Montezuma. But our boys are not feeling sore over their defeat, as the odds were, all through, overwhelmingly in favor of Montezuma, on aooount of the number of professionals in their team. In deed, Albany does not consider that a game has been played with Monte' zuma, but with the pick of the Atlan- ta and Macon teamB, and the boys feel that they have done well to get out of it as well as they did. But Montezuma and Albany will try their luck again on Albany ground l,eRiale(ire (.'■■SMelee. The Democratic Club of Dougherty County, at its meeting Wednesday, in dorsed Col. Ed. R.

Mr. Richard Pattison took a snap shot with a double barrel gun at some marauders on his grandfather’s fruit orchard last night, Mr. Pattison has some fine peaches growing in tbe lot adjoining his rest dence on Jefferson street, and as the fruit is of the early variety, and many persons haven’t yet had any peaches, the temptation is too great for some of them, and on several occasions persous have leaped the _ fence during tbe night and helped themselves to the luscious fruit. Last night suoh a thing occurred. About 10 o’clock some one was dlS' covered in the orchard. Mr. Pattison took a shotgun, and going out turned loose both barrels in tbe direction of the raiders. There’ was a frightened yell or two, a hasty scramble, and Mr. Pattison was lord of all he surveyed. The peaches have all been polled from the trees now, however, and there is no longer any temptation for ma randera to “hook” them. $4 SHOE A DFBIXING BEE. Nslshh«rh»«4 Affair—I.nin at Fen.

Now Oapt. Wooten has another plan for competing for the medal. At dif ferent times between this and the time of the next encampment, the Guards will go out and fire at a target, at vari ous distances, ranging from a hundred to a thousand yards. A record will b< kept, and at the end of b year the per son who has made the best average will be declared the winner of the medal. Capt.
