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.
