We notice that our brother cor
respondent at Winnings claims that
the score between the Clippers
and the Winnings team stood s to
Ii IN favor of Winnings. AS to
whether he was here or not we do
not know, but we do know this
much: that Winnings made IA runs
and the Clippers Is runs. There
arose squabble over the last two
runners. The Winnings team COM
promised the squabble by agreeing
that the last runner of the Clip
pers should go back to the third
base. This the Clippers did, but
when every man was to his place,
ready to continue the game, the
Winnings team flew the track and
wanted two put back on the bases.
This the Clippers would not do,
SO the game ended with the score
16 to IA, in favor of the Clippers,
but giving them one run off, as
they asked, it still left the Clip
pers | head. Now we have the
tally sheet in our possession, and
we saw the game, and know these
to be facts. AS to how any hon
est and truthful man could have
made the report to the Atlanta
Constitution as they did we can
not understand, but we can stand
under and know that the Winnings
team was beaten, and if it had
gone to a finish we do not think
the Winnings team would have ever
been heard again.
We regret to note the death of
Mrs. jeff Hales, which occurred
last Sunday about 1 o'clock in
the afternoon. She was a noble,
christian lady, devoted to her
family with that everlasting bond
of motherly love and care. She
bore the cares of life uncomplain-
ingly, and died in the full tri-
umph of living faith. May God
bless the father and children, who
only knom her true worth in life,
and may her departed life prompt
them heavenward, and at the end
may her aged father and mother,
kindred, friends and family sur
round Gods throne as one happy
band, to praise and adore His
name forevermore. The remains
were inferred at Maloney Springs,
Monday at 2 O'Clock.
! For the first time in our life we
had the pleasure of entertaining
our old friend and brother, T. F.
Jeffries, last week. We never
spent more pleasant and profit
able hours with any one in our
life. During the several hours
we sat in constant conversation
time passed swiftly by, and so all
absorbing was his theme we did
not realize, until the music on
the chicken roost chanted the
sweet and peaceful slumberings
of our neighbors. All, if we only
had cold Uncle Jeffries'' to in
spire us every day with his in
structive and valuable thoughts
and flights Of fancy, many worth
less cares of life would be driven
away God bless Uncle Jeffries;
may he live long and continue his
life of usefulness. Moonlight, ("
sunlight, ''come again"
