on excursion trains from Townsville,
Bainbridge and Quitman to celebrate
Emancipation Day. Two trains were used
to convey them and the streets here were
pretty well filed during the day. The fea

bah between mines from Quitman and
brownsville. The Thomasville nine was
the winner, the score being to 5. The
game was interrupted by two or three
fights, and at one stage pistols and raz-
ors were drawn, though the belligerents
were separated.
