The Franklin Stock Company
closed its week's engagement here

all unobjectionable. Miss Cleo
Kirkland was the victor in the
gold watch contest, with Miss
Webster, of Axson, a close second
competitor.
Several of Pearson's young peo

night to attend a social party at
the home of Mr. Keaton. In the
party were Mrs. Dudley, chaper
one, Misses Tommie Whitley and
Eugenia Allen, and Messrs. Hay

A protracted meeting commen
ced at the Methodist church Wed
nesday night. Rev. Robert Tyler,
a recent graduate from Meridian
College, Miss, is doing the preach
ing. lie seems to be an earnest
preacher, and the Tribune trusts
much goodwill result from his ser
vice here. There is large room for
moral and religious improvement.
Take it from one who has had
war times experience: The con
starvation of food supply must be
rigidly enforced. The consumers
are very many more than the pro
ducers, and unless care is taken
somebody is going to feel the
pangs of hunger. The people are
going to be the architects of their
own weal or woe.
The colored people of this com
munity will hold a patriotic rally
on the Fourth of July, when ques
tions of vital importance not only
to the negro race but the entire
country w ill be discussed. One of
these questions is "W hy the Negro
Should Remain in the South?"
and another "How can the Negro
best subserve the country's inter
est during this world’s war crisis?’’
There will be amusements, two
games of base-ball, to enliven the
occasion. There will also be a
basket dinner. The Tribune ap
proves this meeting as one in the
right direction.
Miss Vera Inman of Manor, and
little Miss Emma Dame of Homer
ville, are pleasant visitors of Dr.
and Mrs. H. P. Smith.
Dr. C. P. iloltzendorff, of Atlan
ta, was a visitor to Pearson last
Saturday and Sunday, and a guest
of Mr. B. Kirkland, Jr. He had
been in attendance on the dental
convention at Brunswick and
came by on the return trip. Dr.
Iloltzendorff was born and reared
in Pearson; went to Atlanta about
twelve years ago, graduated in
dentistry, opened an office and has
won quite a success in the prac
tice. He is located at 75 West
Peachtree street.
The young gentlemen compos
ing the Nichols baseball team
came over to Pearson last Tuesday
afternoon and played the second
game of the season with the Pear
son team. At the end of the
ninth inning the score was tied —
4 and 4, The tenth inning was
undecisive but at the close of the
eleventh inning the score stood 6
to 4 in favor of the Pearson team.
It was the best game of ball ever
played on the Pearson diamond.
The Pearson team got such a drub
bing at Nichols llie boys were not
disposed to crow over this close
victory.
The Pearson base-ball team
gathered up some of its nine and
substitutes for those who could
not get off and went over to
Homerville Wednesday afternoon
for three games —Wednesday aft er
noon, and a double header Thurs
day afternoon. The games all re
sulted in favor of Homerville by
large scores. The Pearson boys,
with only a fragmentary team, did
not hope to get anything out of
the games beyond some good and
wholesome practice. The Homer
uille boys had several imported
players and some who have had
experience on professional teams,
