GOSSIP
Conyers Wins Frorn Cov
irigton and Oxford.
qV Game Yesterday a Complete
Walk Over—Covington Not
In It a Little Bit.
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 .

AT THE COURT HOUSE
The Wages Family Entertainment
Last Night.
A large and appreciative andi
ence filled the seats at the court
house last night to hear the mu¬
sical program promised by the J.
C. Wages’ family.
The entire family are first-class
musicians, especially Master Char
lie, who, when his age is consid¬
ered, is a wonder. The song “Ma¬
ma , Kiss Me in a Dream,” by the
two little girls Sallie and Emmie,
brought forth a storm of applause.
Capt Wages wishes us to extend
thanks to the people of Conyers
for their liberal patronage.

THE CONFERENCE.
Proceedings of the Session Held
Here Last Week
The Oxford District Conference
oonvened at this place July 6th
The exercises, Thursday night,
at the Methodist church were high¬
ly interesting.
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.
