Last Saturday evening at the
residence Of MI. and Mrs. w. e.
Parham, was the scene Of .
pleasant gathering, to celebrate the
tenth anniversary Of their marriage
and 70 have Q reunion OF the Reck.
less base bali club. Those present
Of the original members of that
club, were w. E. Parha,n, Roll
Hanna, John F. Blown, John A.
Goddard, and T. N. Brown umpire
and manager. Prof. Wilson being
unable to be present, semitic old
tally sheets well preserved for US
to look over, and a photograph Of
Mrs. John A. Silsby, for US to in
late into our club. Mr.. Silsby was
another member of that club and is
now in far away China. He has
just taken unto himself better
half. After the guests assembled
we repaired to the dining room
and partO0k of bOuntiful repast
which consisted in all the necessa-
ries of life and many luxuries be-
sides After supper the old scores
made by the club, were read, with
the minutes of the meetings Of the
club which had been kept by Mr..
Geo. s. Moore, of Mobile, Alabama.
An interesting letter was read
from Mr.. Moore expressing his
heartfelt regrets at not being able
to b. present, also one from Prof.
s. II. Wilson who .Ould not be pres
ent on account of sickness. Per-
laps a brief sketch of the members
of that club would be read with in
terest by some of the readers of the
TIMES. s3as
Capt. Geo. s. Moore, of Alabama,
i our gallant leader. was small in
stature and young In years, but
4 possessed rs many manly traits n
was possible tor him to possess, and
was ever ready to charge upon the
enemy and under his leadership we
nearly always won the victory
He held the first base with tirH
and steadfast grasp. Mr.. MU,re is
tnew sssist&nAz nAster.at MohilA
Alabama, and has been connected
with that Office ever'since Hayes
election.
His brother F. K. Moore, pitcher
with his quick, fast step, sent the
+ ball to the bat with lightning speed
and IT /. did not meet resistance BY
the bat or catcher it made long
journey before it, return. He /,
now ut Laredo, Texas, engaged in
a large business as commission
merchant, insurance agent and
broker and as understand has &C
cumulated a large share of this
worlds goods.
Mr.. w. E. Parham, catcher, "the
manly boy, who always took the
ball off the bat with perfect ease, IL
engaged in the manufacture Of
wooden goods in Maryville, Tenn
Mr.. r. II. Hanna held the second
base firmly and with his drollery
could amuse the rest hugely. He
is also engaged in the manufacture
of wooden goods in Maryville.
T G. c. Stewart with his own will
and iron determination would car.
ry his point no difference who II
hurt. When the ball came in contact
with his bat it would undertake q
long journey.
]. A. Silsby guarded the center
field with jealous care, and would
see that the ball would not pass tina,
way unnnoticed. He is now lead
ing a benighted peopla to higher
plans, than the mere grOveline
ones of earth. He will no doubt
play his part n the great game of
life well and finally gain the victO.
Try. We wish him all the success
possible as he has just stated anew
in life with a helpmate TO make
life more enjoyable.
j. F. Brown Looked well to the
left field and with finn grasp he
would WELD the bat with telling
effect. He is Obeying the com.
mand set forth in the bible that we
must make our bread by the sweat
Of the brow. He is engaged in the
noblest calling known to man, in
my opinion, for many reasons which
1 will not speak of for want OF
space. He is tilling the soil at his
old home near Maryville.
John A. Goddard stood in the
right field and took in occasionally
"fiy" that CHANGED to pass him by
Then there il IT. n. Brown. nm.
