BASEBALL. ii 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.

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*.
