Who is there now that believes Conyers boys cannot play ball? . . last q t took them just six innings Tuesday to show the Oxford Col lege team that they would not be in it any more. The boys left here about 9 o’clock in the morning in a wagon and buggies, arriving at Oxford at 11 o’clock, where they met a cor dial reception by the team at that place, who escorted them to the Howell House, the finest hostelery in Oxford. The dinner was just dll that could be desired, and to say that the Oxford boys did not do’ everything for their comfort and entertainment would be doing them an injustice. They were just simply treated royally, but a lien the game commenced it was another thing—they wanted the earth, but they didn’t get it. The game was called at 8:30 wit-U Oxford at the bat. For some reason Watson couldn’t keep them in the diamond. They batted him right and left, making a score of four runs on the first innings. In the second they made four again, in the third two, and it be¬ gan to look like Conyers wouldn’t be in a little bit. The score stood at the end of the third innings ten to nine in favor of Oxford, but about this time Conyers began to show them how to play ball, near¬ ly every man on the team knock¬ ing two and three base hits, run¬ ning the score ii]) to sixteen‘runs g of the sixth, while only gained three more, giving them a total of thir¬ teen .

They gave us their addresses of welcome, one from the Auxiliary, Juvenile and Epwotth League, followed by some pleasant and oheering words from Rev. J. L. Moon. Mrs. Henderson, of Oxford, res¬ ponded in a very happy manner. Mrs. Warren Candler, who was admirably fitted for the position, was elected secretary. We regretted the absence <. f our corresponding secretary, Mrs. E. A. Gray, who was providential!’ detained at home. But our belov¬ ed president, Mrs. W. P. Lovojoy, presided with her usual love and ability. Her talks on the work were full of instruction and we hope her helpful suggestions and wise counsels will long be remem¬ bered. Among other things, she insisted on a missionary library in each auxiliary. Our new district secretary, Mrs. i W. R. Daniels, full of onthiisia-ni i and love for ! he work, nl< ' (• ■ {or !
