BASEBALL.

Harmony Grove vs. Madisoa.
The serine of games of ball play- ;
ed by our team in Madison last!
week were highly interesting and
resulted na follows:
June 27, Harmony Grove 9, Mad
ison 1.
June 28, Harmony Grove 4, Mad
ison 7.
June 29, Harmony Grove 5, Mad
ison 15.
While the results of the games
wore not entirely satisfactory, our
boys are to be congratulated on
the splendid showing they made
Madison’s home team cannot dc- :
feat I farm on y Grove which ij
plainly shown in the outooino of
the first game, as in this game
they played principally homo tnl
;ent. Madison seeing they could
j stand no show of winning with
| their team, imported four profes
j siouals from Mucoh and Atlanta,
j some of them standing at tie top
j-in the Southern League record.
Besides playing against these
odds, our principal catcher, Scott
Jackson, was disabled in the first
game, which prevented his playing
in the two remaining games, and*
considerably weakened Harmony
Grove. Our boVs played magni
ficient ball, and was quite a sur
prise to ) hose who had never wit
nessed our boys handle the sphere
especially those lodge players and
to use their expression, ‘'.Those
kids plgy ball out of eight. ’’ Mad-,
ieon expected a wajk over but in
order to win were compelled to
Strengthen their team till the very j
last- Harmony Grove lias never;
been beaten by anv team com
posed entirely of a mat tiers and
has the best amnluor team in
Georgia. "Our boys stand ready I
to prove this assertion. The hoys
say t boy wy re r<>y ally on ter tain ed ■

at the hands of tho Madison boys.;

them again soon.

A Crowd at Quilliau’s Springs,
I Ptrhaps many of our readers have
heard of Quilliaifs Springs, • and
! many have not. We have of
ten heard of them, but [
h.uino idea of wlu-ro they i
were located, or of the beautiful and
picturesque spot, amt of one of the
boldest and finest springs in Geor.
gia. Whj{e in Homer Wednesday
wo‘were invited down there l<> sj end
tjn* night witti the Harmony Grove
party who have erected their tents;
to spend a month there.
I started out from Homer with
the expectation of finding the camp
one mile from H< mer, but found it
to tie three. We found a big sign
“Quitlian’s Springs" and had no
proceeded far before I overtook
Messrs. Bud Little and Tom Quiliian
blazing out a forty foot road ami !
from appearances it looked like they
; were fixing it for an a jdialt road. A
j few minutes ride down the new cut
; road found me in sight, of two large
| tents and a cookery or kitchen built
J after camp-meeting style. We found
.Mrs. \V. A. Quiliian and her accom
plished daughter, Miss Cura, holding
forih with Gland Little watching the
chic-kcu coop to keep the hawks and
minks from devouring them, , ml if
•here is anything that Ciftud had
rather do more than another it’s cer
tainly watching chickens, and more
especially after they are prepared
for t!.e camp-meeting dining room of
camp Quiliian.
Mis. .Quiliian feels perfectly at home
at the camp. Anyone who his ever
visited her hospital home in Harmo
ny Grove could toll at a glance from
the tidine-s and taste everything was
arranged that slie presided over
camp Qviliian.
l oin Quiliian is the iiuuro l of the
party, and not a single Bub White
has opened his wheat, eating mouth
since camped there he did
not pick his bones for the next meal.
And squirrels, the woods are full of
them, but they have already learned
not to c ■ mmenee ba: king around that
camp, for nimrod. Quiliian has a reg
ular mania for squirrels. Camp
tires light the camp and everyone
would think for a moment tie was
again at a good old tame camp meet
ing. When the sun had gone down
beneath the weste n horizon we were
summoned to the dining room and
the biil of fare could not tie surpassed
anywhere. Fried chicken, quail on
toast, stewed sqniirel, jellies of all
descriptions were there t > have a
kind of “cease that pining” effect,
After we had doi.e full justice to
the sumptuous meal spread before us
and we was no! by our self either in
any respect in that line oi any other
way. 1 was treated to some tine
music by Miss Cora's arii -tic touch
and well trained voice on the guittar.
1 then laved down and slept with
a quilt, on me ail night and was not
any to warm
There lias been only one lit lie dif
ference in the party since they
camped. They can't agree on what
kind of a rooster they want to buy to
row for day. Mrs Oiullian wants
one that will use no deception and
crow when day comes and the ba!-
ain e of the party wants one that, will
crow for day two hours by sun. Ito k
si peep at the chicken coop the hist
thing we did, and promised them I
would return again Sunday. There
were eighteen line fat friers left
and this together with the game the
ntmrod kills will feed a multitude
quite a while.
I*. S.—'Pile only thing that scefn
ed to bother Bud I.ittle was that his
hands might strike at the cider works
while lie was away.

THH - DEATH ROLL.
After an ill nos.- of several weeks
with typhoid fever, death entered
the home of M•.T. J. Nunn, living
three miles above this place, and
claimed his son, Charlie (.' Nunn,
aged twenty-four yens. He was a
consistent member of the Baptist
church of Maysville. He was a
young man of sterling worth and
none knew him but t > like "bun.
The death of ;i young nan <>r men,

suder than the dea'h of older ones. ,
lie had just finished a business
course at. Crighton A Sullivan’s bus
iness coliege, of Atlanta, and bad a ;
, bright future it! store for him, but
\ God ii hi i wisd >nt sa v fit to take this
! cherished son from the home of his

grief stricken parents, brothers and
j sisters have thy sympathy of the en
, tire community.
The 'loath angel visited the home
of Mrs. Harriet Dead wyler last Wcd
newlaynigh! and plucked from the
fond mother’s heart her baby boy,
Clyde, aged sixteen. He was taken
with typhoid fever 'be 4th of June
complicated with heart failure. All
that a loving mother, b others, sis
ters, and friends, with tho best medi
cal skill. death was ine\ jtabie. an 1
on last Welnesduy night at 12:15
o’clock, his sov.l took its flight to a
fairer region. Clyde was quite a fa
vorite of the Echo office, lie was
ever reaily to lend a limping hand
and many times lias he aided us in
some way. He was aj ways jolt v* and
cheerful. And together with his
grief stricken relatives an 1 friends w
offer our heartfelt sympathy and
hope hbsoul is forever free from this
world's toil and strife.
Ilis remains will he laid to red at
