In the • prettiest and hardest-fought
ball game in which Buford has eveV
participated the Shoemakers defeated
Tate at the city park last Thursday af-‘
temoon by the score of 2 to 1.
The ^nme was a pitcher’s battle bo-,
tween Frank Baker and Big “Andy”
Chambers, with neither side doing any
scoring until the seventh inning, when
Buford rushed One run across the pan
on a two-bagger by Dowis, a - single by
Settle and a sacrifice fly by Davis. The
second run came when Davenport dou
bled to center and Ned Brogdoh^got a
hit to left. -• •
Tate got their run iff the ninth when
Swofford, a pinch hitter, delivered, .tak
ing 'second when White grounded ^out
to Brogaon; and scoring on Callahan’s
double. The finish was hair-raising in
every sense. With a man on third and
one dowu, Sale was sent, in to pitch for
Buford,.and ti)e next man hit a.hard
line drive directly into his hands, and
Sale doubled the man off third. :
The ground was in splendid shape,
the game whs the fastest seen here iff

largest crowd ever gathered at the lo

fair, one of its main purposes being to
develop the farming resources of this
section and interests connected with
farming. This aim has been kept to
the forefront in all the fairs held he?o«

whatever success it enjoyed to the work
of a farm demonstrator agent and a
canning club and home economics agent.
At the annual stockholders meeting in
the first part of this year a fair for
1922 was decided upon in the expeotft*

ut the ,home of her parents,?Mr. .and
Mrs. E. T. Martin, on W. Broad street,
in celebration of hor eighth birthday.
About twenty-fivo of her little friends
enjoyed tho hospitality of little Miss'
Martin on tins occasion, and the.affa.it 1
was a moat happy one for all,
would be a quiet affair, and so on the
morning of June 17th she, in company
withher sister, Mrs. C. F. Moss, Jr.,
boarded train No. 16, and was met in
Toocoa by Mr. Anderson and wont im
mediately to the Methodist' parsonage*
whero they were made one, in a most
impressive manflet by 4he Eev. L. W.
Rivers, The party spent the day at
Toccoa Falls, returning home on an
afternoon train. Mrs. . Anderson re
turned to the store of • Newman-Frier-
sonMcEver Co.,„where <■ she haq been a
most popular saleslady for several
years. Mr. Anderson left immediately
for tho West, -where he holds an im

was kept a profound secret and nq ono
suspected Cupid bf having played an
other caper as -of yore.
Mrs. : Anderson. Is a .daughter of Mrs.

‘This -device is so constructed that
the tractor can bo driven forward at

‘ ‘ The practical value of this device
is that it becomes possible fur one man
to do the work of two men! For in
stance a horso drawn mowing machine
may be hitched to the Fordson tractor.
The farmer may sit on the machine and
drive his Fordson just as he is in the
habit of driving a horse;
