FLOWERS AND SONGS.

The First Presbyterian Sunday
Schools Anniversary Last Night.
The First Presbyterian Sunday school
celebrated its anniversary last night. The
church was very prettily decorated and the
exercises were interesting Throughout. The
excellent singing of the school was one of
the features of the anniversary.
The church was not crowded but it was
well filled. In front of the pulpit was a
magnificent floral cross. Over it, in an arch
and in gilt letters, were the words: "In the
Cross of Christ | Glory" At the foot of
the cross was beautiful floral pillow, with
a Maltese cross, and along the front of the
pulpit platform was double bank of roses
in baskets and bouquets. The entire decora-
ton was handsomely designed and the
wealth of flowers was admired by every
one.
The exercises opened with the hymn
''Raise our Banners, Comrades, Display the
Holy Cross" After the hymn came re-
sponsive reading, led by Supt. Train
The pastor, Rev. j. w. Hogan, offered the
opening prayer and this was followed by
the hymn, Happy Day of Joy Returning
and an address by Mr.. L. B. Davis, teacher
of the Bible class. Mr.. Richards, of Knox
vile, Tenn also made brief address, and
this was followed by the Gross Exercises
Supt. Trains report was an interesting
one, and it gave many interesting facts in
regard to the school, its growth and
progress.
During the year ending April there were
enrolled twenty eight teachers and officers,
with an average weekly attendance of nine
teen. There were 1868 scholars enrolled, with
an average attendance of 93. OF this
number 10 made a public profession of
faith. The TreasureI's report showed that
the school paid in during the year $l94 81
Something over 800 were expended for the
needs of the Sunday school and other bene-
ficiaries. including the American Sunday
School Union and the American Bible So
ciety.
Miss Georgia Ways Little Cleaners
did noble missionary work, having raised
nearly $40 for missionary purposes. The
school is working to build upa new library
and books are being received for that pur-
pose. The superintendent referred at some
length TO the faithful work of the pastor
and the various teachers and officers of the
school.
AT the close Of the superintendent re-
! port the school sang, "Have You On the
| Holy Armorr The pastor then addressed
the school, talking in practical way OF
the good that it has ACCOMPLISHED and the
work that is before it. The address was
brief and interesting. At its close, the
school sang the Doxology and was dis
missed.
Many remained to get closer look at the
decorations than could be had from the
| body of the church.

PETTICOATs AT BASE BALL.
A Boy Tells What He Saw at Girls
Game.

There was base ball in town yesterday.
The Sabbath games are not confined to boys
alone, but the girls get in some good ticks
and make home runs themselves Three
games of ball were reported at the MORN
ING NEWS office last night. The Ironsides
and the Montgomerys crossed bats, and the
score stood at the end of the ninth inning
II to in favor of the former
The second game was played by the
Jonesvilles and the Robertsvilles The boys
would not give tie score. They said they
forgot to keep it.
The third game was that by the girls.
This was good game" sud the little
fellow that took it upon himself to give the
girls away. They fell to work like Tro-
jams, and tired themselves out trying to hit
the ball. | sat close by and watched them,
but they didn't see me. tell you they en-

to hit the balls went to the bat she
made home run most every time, al
though she may have knocked the
ball no farther than the pitchers stand
You see it's this way with them. They are
all so overjoyed to see the ball knocked that
they quite forget themselves, and every
one of them turns to screaming run, !"

the girl has run all the bases If one Of
them happens to have presence of mind
enough to pick up the ball, she invariably
throws it to some one on the other side. It's
awful funny. came very near squalling
out to them to pick up the ball and throw it
or put it in their pocket, but l
didn't dare do it. They'd mob a
fellow, l believe, if they were
to catch him. They are queer things,
they are. | am going to watch them again

and nobody could be found to act. 1t was
this way: She stood just behind the bat,
and it's wonder the batter didn't hit her.
But she stood there unconscious of the dan

against her nose. Then they all screamed,
and she fell down and the pitcher
and catcher picked her up All of

| Those that were unable to catch hold Of
the feet and hands of the wounded umpire,
caught hold of the pitcher and catcher and
assisted them. They carried the umpire to
pump and bathed her head good, and
when they began TO pump water into her
face she became alarmed lest they might
strangle her to death, and so she got well at
once. When they returned they could not
| find anybody that knew enough about the
game TO be umpire, and so they played it
out without an umpire. You just wait
until next Sunday and I'll give it all to you -

wearing easy-ftting shoes. He also corrects
all malformations of the Toes and Nails

simply give temporary relief. Those who
