WINS FROM UNAD1LU The P. H. S. Basketball teams boys aud girls won from Unadilla Friday afternoon ou local court. Boys bad an easy time defeating tlio visitor? 48 to 12, with the seeouii team playing second quart er. l"Ue girls had quite a different proposition to handle; for the lass es from Unadilla offered stiff opposition. And it was only thru thii excellent guarding of the Per ry girls and the ease with which Mi ri Meyers found the basket that victory resulted. This girl registered every point for the home team liti ia all. The score ended 26 to 16. Ou Friday night, January 30, both teams will plhy Vienna in Vienna. February Gth the boys will play Coehran High; ou Feb ruary 13, play Eastman. Both games on local court. February 20 they go to Hawkiusville for game. There is some doubt as to whether Cochran and Eastman will give us games on out door court. Arrangements may be made to play in Fort Valley. People lets build an athletic building, one that can be used for bashctball and gymuasium. This is the crying need of our towu now. We have noplace for amuse ments, no football field, no basket ball court, no baseball diamond. These things are just as essential as many other things we spend our money for. Other towns not as prosperous as Perry have them. Marshallville has an athletic build* ing, so has Fort Valley, Moute zuma, Coehran, Hawkinsville, Vienna,Eastman?every where ex, oept Perry and Shanty. J. M, Gooden.

Evans agaiust the Central ot Georgia Railway Company tried in the Houston Superior Court and concluded hero last Friday was decided in favor of the plant ill. The suit was brought by A. J. Evans to recover from the Rail road Company, claiming damages j to the amount of about $J 100-00 i on two cars of peaches shipped in 1923 from Porry and Fort Valley. Evans alleged that the fruit ar rived at market in damaged con dition as a result of poor refrigera tion. The Jur\ found in favor of Evans awarding damages to the amount of $600.00 Thi? principal point at issue was whether or not a certain type of refrigerator car, known as a short car or smaller Bunker Car of 6800 pound ice capacity furnished adequate refrigeration for the transportation of the peaches. A very exhaustive examination into the method? of refrigeration, transportation and marketing of peaches was made and the testimony of a score or more witnesses.on each side was heard. The case was heard before Maloolm D. Jones and was in progress for seven days. General Walter A. Harris, Mr. John Harris and Messrs Dunoan & Nunu were attorneys for the Cen tral of Georgia Railroad while Messrs. JLt. L. Smith and Grady Harris conducted the case for Mr. Evans.
