Pelham Defeats Norman
Park.
Pelham defeated Norman Park
in one of the prettiest games of
ball ever played on the local
diamond Monday afternoon.
The game was hard fought from
start to finish by both teams and
was filled with sensational plays
on both sides. Twitfcy had a
little the best of Norman in the
box, holding down things well
and proving a puzzle when men
were on bases. Einstein as sec
eond proved a puzzle to the visit¬
ors all the time.
The fielding of Isaac Hand at
the initial sock is worthy of men¬
tion. Norman Park scored one
run in the second inning and one
in the sixth, afterwards nothing
doing for them. Pelham scored
two runs in the fourth inning.
Things moved along all right till
the last half of the ninth when
C. Twitty was walked and imme¬
diately pilfered second and was
sacrificed to third by Wilkinson.
Then the squeeze play was work¬
ed, Hand pulling it off nicely
scoring Twitty.

Tax Collector D. W. Fairclotl)
spent Wednesday in the city reg¬

Registration Act, the voters, in
addition to the information for¬
merly given, state under which of
the five quaificatious they claim
to be entitled to register. Their
qualifications will lie determined
before the board of registrars.
Mr. Faircloth is making an ex¬
cellent tax collector. The books
show about $64,000.00 collected
last year and of this amount
about. $18,000.00 was collected
from parties who had failed to
give in their returns to the receiv¬
er.
A recent audit of his books by
expert accountants shows that
they balance to a penny, which is
an excellent show ing for our tax
collector.

Lyceum Course.
Miss Bakenan, representing the
Columbus Lyceum Course of Co
Jumbos, Ohio, was in the city
Tu-'^hty trying to arrange for a
cot e to be put on hero next fall.
Our neighboring towns are us
ing a lycem course every year and
find it very popular. For several
years Pelham lias had no course
of this sort. The town has grown
materially in the past several
years, and the interest that the
citizens have manifested in enter¬
tainments of this character would
indicate that an attractive lyce
um course might now be put on
as a profitable venture.
A series of entertainments
would be a very pleasant educa¬
tional diversion for the fall and
winter months
