Al ) o'clock the game Of base ball COM
uienced. Both Mines seemed to he in good
trim, and welt at the game with deter
mlnation to 10 their best. The playiny
was quite spirited and interesting. After
Two hours and twenty minutes of hard
playing the score stood 10 to Z in favor of
the Lone Stars. We doubt if there has
ever been better game of base ball PLAYED
IN the up country. The Lone Stars are
good players, and have one of the most
proficient clubs in the up country.
The game was witnessed by large crowd
OF The ladies and gentlemen Of William
ston and community. DR.. Lander also
permitted the young ladies' Of his College
to be present. Everything passed Off very
pleasantly. The Anderson Club were colr- |
teously entertained by the Lone Stars, aDi |
We do not think they will soon forget their
trip to Williamson. Mr.. II. Mahon was
very attentive to our whole party.
The crops on The road between here and
Niililmston are in fine condition. The
Fail oats and wheat are excellent. The
Spring oats seem to be almost a failure.
The farmers living along this road give
evidence of activity, thrift and progress.
we were gratiicd to find that on most
places an abundance OF corn had been
planted. and that the al-cotton mania hnd
not taken possession OF the planters Our
rip was in every respect most pleasant
