WE BEAT ATLANTA
Lawrenceville Took the Game
Here Thursday.
OUTCLASSED THE VISITORS
The Home Team Won By a Score of 12
to 5. —The Sun Was Yery Hot,
and the Players Suffered.
• ~ ~~~
Lawrenceville has another feath
er in her cap.
She won the game of ball played
here last Thursday between the
home team and Atlanta by a
score of 12 to 5.
The erroneous idea obtained that
the Drays, one of the crack teams
of the Gate City firemen,were com
ing, but in their stead another ag
gregation of good ball players put
in their appearance.
The Atlanta boys were never in
the game, and the home team won
without much effort.
A picnic excursion was run here
from Atlanta that day and the
game was witnessed by a large
number of spectators. The visit
ors had as many to cheer for them
as the locals, but the Atlanta
crowd held their applause in re
serve, as they were never given an
opportunity to use it.
Atlanta came to the bat first and
F. Forrester scored a run on a wild
throw to second by Poe. The next
two men fanned and Ben Wilson
secured a hit. J. Forrester flew
out at first, thus retiring the side.
Lawrenceville took the hole and
pounded out a run. The run get
ting then ceased on our side for the
next three innings, but in the
meantime Atlanta secured three
more runs, making the score four
to one in favor of the visitors.
Lawrenceville then got on her
playing clothes and piled up runs
by the wholesale. In the fifth she
made three, tying the score. In
the sixth five more men crossed
the plate and Atlanta realized that
the jig was up with her; one run was
made in each of the remaining in
nings,which made the total twelve.
The visitors made three goose
eggs and then scored in the last,
making her score five in all.
Lawrenceville had won the game
and was not entitled to the last
inning, but Atlanta gave it to her
and one run was made, making
our score twelve in place of elev
en.
Segars was in the box for Law
renceville and struck out nine
men, while Hornbuckle fanned on
ly five.
There were no special features
connected with the game. Our
men were heavier than the Atlan
ta team and outclassed them as
players. The sun was very hot and
the players were all covered with
perspiration.

Magnetic Healer Lectures.
Rev. H. R, Williams, of Auburn,
lectured in the court house here
one day last week, per previous
announcement,to a small audience
on his newly found subject.
Mr. Williams said he would
open the meetiug with prayer and
called on Rev. A.H. Holland, who
was in the court house, to lead
the invocation. Brother Hollaud
refused to do so, telling the mag
netic healer he could do his own
praying. Mr. Williams and Mr.
Holland had a warm discussion on
the streets before going into the
court house, taking opposite sides
on the question of magnetism.
They are both Baptist ministers
and members of the same associa
tion and this question will likely
come up in that body at their
meeting next fall.
Mr. Williams outlined his belief
in the new treatment without
drugs, and said it had always ex
isted, but has been only recently
put into practice. Treatment can
be had at a distance as well as
close by.
The speaker quoted many pass
ages of Scripture to sustain his
contention and closed his talk
with a practical sermon.
While delivering his lecture any
one in the audience was invited to
ask questions and Mr. Oscar
Brown questioned the speaker to
some extent.
Mr. Williams spoke for about
an hour.
Prof Holland to Wed.
Prof. Truman Holland, of Bre
men, Ga , who taught school at
Bethlehem, in this county, and
who made many friends in Wal
ton, will be united in marriage to
Miss Ida Wall, of Wetumpka,
Ala., August 7th. Mr. Holland is
a deserving young man, and we,
with all his friends, extend many
congratulations. —News and Mes
