Bartow vs* Wriglitsviile.
The base ball teams of Wriglitsviile
and Bartow had a battle royal upon
the grounds of the Wriglitsviile nine
Thursday afternoon, and the Bartow
boys caaried the victories with them.
Following are the players lined up
in their positions:

Tlie score by innings was as follows:
Wriglitsviile, I 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1—4
Bartow, 100002 20 x—5
The ball was kept moving, and from
start to finish the game was quite in¬
teresting. Qnitea number of close de¬
cisions by the umpire were made. We
are not making any excuses for our
boys, for they played 8 good game, but
several of them were not in good shape
and they failed to throw the ginger
aud energy into the game that usually
characterize their playing. The beys
are not at all discouraged for they re¬
membered that this is the fourth defeat
for them in the last three years out of
31 games and the only defeat in that
time on the home grounds. A game be¬
tween these two nines has been ar¬
ranged for Thursday at Bartow.

The First Bale.
Mr. M. W. Meadows, son of Hon. C. 8.
Meadows, sold the first bale of new cot¬
ton in Wriglitsviile. It was sold to
Tompkins and Johnson for ten cents
per pound. This bale weighing 382
pounds, was picked from six acres
of ground. Mr. Meadows is not only a
good farmer, but he is a school teacher
as well. The fact that our first bale
was brought in by an educated man is
a significant fact.
Our Annual Conference.
'Our people are busy, preparing to en¬
tertain the delegates of the Dublin Dis¬
trict meeting which convenes hOre on
Aug.25th continuing through the 29th
Bro. Ellis has secured homes for all
who come. It was expected by Dr.
Thrower, the Presiding Elder, that one
of the bishops would be present,but in
that he was disappointed; yet several
Winiaters who stand high in the Meth¬
odist church will probably be
W. A. Candler, D. D. L L.D.

Prof. Rufus Smith, President of

be held in the chapel of Nannie
Warthen Institute. There will
room tor all and the people of the town
and community are invited to attend
the meetings of the conference and
p/eaching services.
Analyze the Water.
It is curious, the different opinions
different people hear in regard to water
from the artesian well. Some claim it
to be the same water we liwd before the
well was rebored, some deny this,
some say it is better ami some deny
that. We shall be glad when the city
fathers have the water analyzed and
let us all know in regard to the quali¬
ties of tlie water. Every body will
then then be pleased and at ease, for
we shall know exactly what we are
drinking, ffnd some folks will have to
be sorry they talked so much.
Prof. Erhart and His Violin.
Prof. Victor Erhart, a violinist, will
give a violin recital at th* college hall
tomorrow night. He will be assisted
by several young ladies of the town.
Prof. Erhart comes with the highest
testimonials. He lias had a long expe¬
rience in getting up entertainments,
and is able to please any audience.
Recently he has given entertainments
at Eastman, Hawkinsville and Dublin.
A private letter from Prof. Thompson,
of Dublin, to Prof. Webb, states that
the people of Dublin were delighted
with the entertain meat there.
The Madison Madisonian says:'
“Victor J.Erhart is tliefinent violin¬
ist ever heard in our city. Ilfs touch is
as magic, and his execution wonderful,
Bts renditions here held his audience
spellbound and be swayed bis audience
at will. He lias elicited the highest
praises from the musicians of our city
by his wotiderhd skill, and is recog¬
nized by all as a master of the violin.
To hear him is to be delighted.”
This recital is given for the- benefit
of the college.

rison mid others have started a

tition for a post-office 1ms been
completed, and a young Fitzgerald

Jones to Prof. Webb states that
she will be able to teach embroide¬

for the pupils to enter at the open¬

for the pupils. Tlie patrouage of

I hive made a special study this
year to be able to lay all competition
aside this fall on vehicles of all kinds,
and l am satisfied now that I am able
to do so. If you need buggies, wagons,
harness, and if close prices cuts any
figure with you, I will sell you.

Pay Your Debts.
The Rocskmart Slate, very plaipjy
its opiuion of the man who
does not pay his. debts., :,The Slate
believes that the man who pays hi$
debts scarcely ever feels any
compunction;of conscience about
anything, for, as a general rule,
any one that is honesfci about his
debts is honest in all other affairs
and dealings with his fellow man.
The slate says:
The cry of half tfie world today is
for the other half to pay what they
owe. It is wo uncommon occurence to
see men buying that being which able they have
not file least hope o-f to pay
for. Some buy things which are luxu
riosrs and not neccessaries, and do
not eveninteiTd paying for them, while
others buy that which »s not specially
needed and pay for it, but do not pay
for that which is neccessary to their
comfort. Especially is this true when
agents invade a town or .community
with things to sell that, we want and
some things to sell that wo do not
want. There are always some people
with fittfe or i.io money that are ready
to purchase the witht|Ye will promise forthcoming. that in
the fall money be
When the fall comes the agent delivers
his goods, collects his money, goes on
his way rejoicing, while Jhe merchant,
school teacher, blacksmith, doctor and
other creditors must be put off for an
indefinite period.
“What judgment does a person show
who acts in such a manner? None; but
lie .shows that he is dishonest.
“A new leaf is needed to be turned
over by many, and the first start is to
pay up all debts and tp contract no
more ing until there is a possibility of pay¬
them.
“We know of a man Who says that
man v years ago there was a time when
he could not sleep at all,-oil account of
thinking about his debts. paid Rut them, that
was long ago. He 1ms never of
but has banished the thought pay¬
ing them from his mind, quit
and he has so arranged his
that it cannot be seiezl by bis
ors. ‘What manner of man is this?’
You may ask. No irlan dr nil. .He has
little of what may be termed man about
him. If only a few debts were can¬
celed that one half of the world is
ing the other half, times would be bet¬
ter for some of us, and more money
would bd put in circulation.”
Follow no traditions, stay in no
ruts. The man who settles down
to study people, their needs, their
weakness; then looking at what he
has to sell from their standpoint,
talks about it convincingly, makes
notes - oli results, uses mistakes as
stepping stones—is going to bo in
it.—Lewis Smith.
