Roll of Special Distinction.
An Anniversry Picnic.
About a year ago the young
men and ladies of Wellston and
vicinity organized a camp of Sons
andjDaughters of Confederate Vet
erans.
The first anniversary of that
organisation will be celebrated on
the first Saturday in August next,
with a basket picnic at Pleasant
Hill Spring.
The survivors of the Houston
Volunteers, Company K., and
other veterans, will be guests of
honor.
The place for the picnic is well
chosen, and the arranrements are
in charge of those who don’t know
how to fail.
The occasion will afford much
pleasure for all who become guests
of these “Sons and Daughters.”
Byron vs. Perry.
The game of base ball at Perry
Wednesday afternoon of last week
between Byron and Perry teams
was very interesting until the
ninth inning, when jit became too
much one- sided to be of interest
to the home folks.
Dan Gunn was in the box for
Byron the first inning, but Bayne
pitched the other eight* in
nings. The“catch and first base-
man for Byron were from Macon.
The Perry team were all home
boys, except Dempsy Brown of
Grovania.
Byron was first to the bat, scor
ing three runs.
Perry scored only two on the 1st
inning.; -
Byron kept the lead until the
4th, when Perry came up -even.
In the 7th, Perry gained 2, and
kept that lead until .the 9th,
when Byron bunched the hits, de
moralized the Perry team and
scored six runs. In the last inning
Perry scored one,|the game stand
ing 13 to 10 in favor of Byron.
The work by the, pitchers and
catchers was decidedly good,
though Cooper about doubled
Bayne in the number of strike
outs.
The Byron team was shut out
five times , against three for the
Perry boys.
The Byron team came by pri-
vote conveyance, and a large nunp-
ber of young men from the frnit
farms were on hand shouting
against Perry.
An agreement for a game here
this week was made with the fruit
farm young men, and it may be
played Friday.

arators. He has been with the ma
chine six weeks and expects to
work at least two weeks longer,
though he has been in only six
districts. The greatest amount
of wheat threshed for one, man
was 297 bushels for Mr. J. H. Da
vis. He says in the territory over
which he has traveled, there is
more wheat than there was last
year, and the farmers say they
will plant even more for the next
crop.
