Jesus said: "Feed my sheep" Brother, are
you doing it? If you are not we hope you
will go 90 work at once. Now, sisters, as
We are featuring the brethren, we might
address a few remarks to you, and we hope
you will not be offended with us for so
doing. Did it ever occur to you, Gear

Now, ladies. we hope you will do your

We can boast Of something that no other
section can. Anderson County is the
banner County Of the State, and Piercetown
is The banner section OF dear old Ander-
son. We did not know until recently that
we had a female base ball club. But muir
der will out. Now, girls, don't be angry
at us for letting the cat out. LAST Friday
afternoon, as We in company with our
chum were carefully picking our way
through the tangled weeds and briers on
the creek to have some sport with the
fnny tribe, We were suddenly startled by q
babel Of female voices further down the
creek. We looked at each other in aston
ishment, whoa suddenly it dawned upon
us that thy we're playing ball. We could
not resist 5iis temptation to find out what
the racket vas about. Westealthily made
our way 10 the place where the sounds
came from. md sure enough they were
having an cit fashioned game. Our chum
got so full IT laughter he blurted out and
gave us AVA When the girls found out
We were thera they rushed for us intending
to mob Us. Our chum climbed a barb wire
fence in his hurry to get away. But q few
OF them that were more kindly disposed
invited US to play q match game end we
beat 'sm, too.
1t was on last Friday afternoon,
The weather being fine,
We went down the creek with our chntn
And played the woman's nine.
Phoebe wss on the first base,
While Huldy held second place,
Cirdy stood in the pitchers box
And gave balls with grace.
We like to have forgotten third hasa
Mary held that,
Samantha was in the center field
And Peggy behind the bat.
There stood Betsy, the umpire,
As wise as any owl,
Whenever we sent a ball out of sight:
She called it 8 foul.
Watch out there, Lucy!
They all did cry, as cur chum knock
ed q fly,
But Polly muffed it in fur,
Then he threw down the bat,
Pulled off his hat
And made a home run.
