THE FIRST GAME
The Base Ball Season Is Now Opea
and a Game is PLAYED.
WASHBURN GETS FIRST BLOOD
Ashland Comes Over to Washburn for a
Sunday Game, and is Defeated by
Decisive Score of SIX to
Two.
WASHBURN GETS FIRST BLOOD

Regardless of the fact that chill
east wind blew off the lake all Sun
day afternoon, the initial game Of
the season between Ashland and
Washburn was attended by a good
sized crowd, and by three o'clock
the orandstand and bleechers were
we'll filled with anxious and expect
ant faces. The usual crowd of
rooters were in attendance and fell
into their old vocation with re-
markable aptitude. Macs men
went into the diamond about 2:45
and after about forty-fve minutes
good lively practice left the field to
the visitors who showed up fine in
their work in the field before game
was called.
When the visitors took their
places, the old familiar forms of
Waters, ST Marks, Resseau, Leon
ard, Scott and Corcoran, were dis
covered in the team and Stark, Bax-
ter and Wilmer completed the make
up. Wilmer was in the box for the
visitor, and opened the game with a
speed that left it very apparent to
all that he would be unable to hold
out nine innings, He was followed
in the fifth inning by Corcoran, who
was severely pounded to the close OF
the game. The locals went into the
fed with six of their old players,
viz. Burke, Felix, Holgren, Mann
ing, Lee and Sowder, --Keefe, Jor.
don and Revoir completing the
nine. Revoir was in the box for
Macs mems and pitched his old time
game from beginning to end, with
justas much ginger on the last
twirl of the game as the first one.
He was well caught by Keefe who
played an almost errorless game.
The batting On both sides was
strong, and the good work done by
the fielders went long ways to the
holding down of the score. Sowder,
Felix and Lee, for the locals did fine
work in the field never loosing a fly
that was reached.

over frst-base and made safe.
Revoir followed with a two Dagger,
Felix scoring. Manning flew to
center field. Holgren to left field
and Lee to second base, closing the
inning with one score to the credit
OF Mae S men. Resseau opened with

DIR. BEAN TELLS OF COUNTRY
To THE WAsHBURN TIMES:

Mr.. Editor: = Since one Of nv
letters, unknown to me, found it's
way into The TIMES, some time ago,
| have been beseiged with multi
tude of letters asking information
about the south, about climate, re-
sources, stock raising, farming,
health resorts ETC., but as [ am q
slow correspondent, I will, with
your kind permission and donation
of space, try to answer most of the
inquiries, and also to anticipate
others questions, through the col
umns of your paper, to the best of
my limited knowledge, aud as brief
ly as possible.
CLIMATE
The climate of this section for
both summer and winter can scarce
| ly be surpassed, While not as warm
and enervating as the sub-tropical
climate of Florida in winter, it is
mild and equable, with scarcely
ever fall of snow, and continuous
days of sunshine. It's winter climate
may be properly classed as a happy
medium between he extreme cold
of the north and The warm, heavy
i,enervating climate of Florida. We
! have a little over three months of
cold weather, for November is never
severe, while March is mostly made
up of the days of wind and rain
which precede the vernal equinox,
then after that come the spring
days when the soil is turned, the
crops planted, and every field and
hillside teens with the evidence of
a new AID prosperous year for the
farming people of this section.
The warm rains of April cause the
seeds to terminate, May sees them
luxurating in leafy verdure, and
June beholds their full perfection.
Almost every month holds an inter
est for the student of nature. GAS
spring sees the waving of the grain,
so summers sun glows against the
crimson cheek of the peach and per-
fects the grape, purpling in the
green shade of its foliage while
autumn gives the white fleece to the
South chief staple-cotton.
In winter the weather does not
materially affect the progress Ct
labor as the cold is not intense.
In summer on the other hand, the
nights are invariably cool and com
Portable, and it is an exception
when a blanket is not needed for
comfort. The annual mean tenn
perature is between go and 65 de-
grees.
AS health resort the south is
fast becoming popular, owing to the
climate; elevation which is about
200 feet above the sea level, cheap
ness of living and purity of water.
The country abounds with springs
which contain real medical proper
ties. The noted "Lithia Springs
is beautifully situated in the park
two miles from Austell, where i'm
mense hotels are erected for ac-
commodation of tourists that swarm
there during the summer season.
The diseases mostly benefited here
are: lung diseases, catarrah, heart
troubles, rheumatism, and kidney
diseases.
COST OF LIVING
| In reference to the cost Of living it
may be safely affirmed that the
necessities and Injuries of life are to
! be obtained here at a rate as low,
and in many cases lower, than in
other sections of our country. Al
most everything for the table is
cheap here, for the simple reason
that the land produces abundantly
almost everything that can be grown
in the temperate zone.
Owing to the large supplies of
