E Football Game '
Hazlehurst High School won
a closely contested football
game played at the home ball
grounds Friday. The score was
6to 0, the only touchdown re
sulting from a series of line
plunges and a run around Brox
ton’s right end. ‘
Coach C. H. Pollard is due to
a great deal of eredit in getting
the home boys trained and in
tshgp’eto win' over the hcavier
LBfo,ton Team. Charles Fra
seidr is Capfain and plays Quar
terback and he certainly used
good judgement in calling the
plays Friday. Frank Bush play
ed Fullback and he made ‘more
gainis by carrying,the ball than
any other momi}q;’"bf the team,
sq’@&ing the lone touchdown of
the game. Seward Harrison
carried the ball for a twelve
yard gain while playing half

The Pedler V 3. Mebw;:t 'Mg};hants
Q'uution The .Podlcr? -
The pedler that comes to yoa;
door is probably a man or woms
an trying to make an honept
living. As such they deserve
courtesy and kind treatment,
but not your patronage. W
There is no' reason for prejus
dice against the out of town
houses that try to get our mol i
ey. They are only pushing
their business as they have 8
right to do, and are to be comg|
mended for doingit. -
' “The reason the pedlers visit
this town, and the mail ord r
C:EIMI come, is because theré
are a number of suckers living
in Hazlehurst. Most of them
think they are doing the wi
thing in gétting a " ‘‘bargain,”
but that is becausd they do n
think. They do " riot aceept -
