A reception and banquet was tender

The banquet which followed the re-
ception took place in the spacious ban-

which appease and crafty the inner
man. The service was par-eXcellence.
Capt. Blake acted as toast master and
all of the representatives of the visiting
companies, as well as the officers and
members of the Hallcwell Company. re-
sponded very felicitously to the calls
made upon them. Letters from those

A Statement.

The "post-mortem' account of q foot
ball game lacks in general interest and
rarely effects the desired understanding
1t is to be hoped, however, that the i'm
pressions' of the Augusta man at
Wednesdays game were only 'impres-
sions." for although the police were I'M
able to keep the crowd of Cony and Hal.
lowell supporters back. and the small boy
was as much in evidence as ever. there
were only nominal and expected disturb
ances until the last lineup. At this juno
ture Referee Simmons decision, given, as
the Journal correspondent believes, in
good judgment and spirit of fair play,
was not accepted and the Cony team left
the field. AS before mentioned. the small
boy was in evidence. For the mud throw
ing which he might have done the Halo
well team and Hallowell lovers of the
game ask forgiveness. One point in par
ticular which the Augusta onlooker men
tons is certainly at variance with the
facts. Hallowell's touchdown was made
fairly by White, and he deserves the
credit for good playing. The score. Cony
!. Hallowell s, was not changed by the
final mixup, unless Cony's refusal to plav
could be considered a forfeit in favor OF
Hallowell.

cases of abject poverty within the limits
of the city of Hallowell. Four little chill

years of age and the oldest, the mistress
of the household, is a little girl of seven

evident to residents of the vicinity in

both from cold and hunger. Cannot
something be done?

Among Kind Strangers.

About a month ago a man named
A. Il. Baker dFifted into Chicka
sha from nowhere in particular.
He was victim Of that dread
disease, consumption. He had a
wife, aud one child less than two
years old, and was almost in desti-
tnte circumstances lie sought
for work, but in his condition was
unable 10 obtain it.
Finally be became too in TO get
around and Doctor Thompson,
kind hearted physician living at
Eighth and Michigan avenue, north
Of Line Creek, took him and his
family 10 and cared for them. Ii
was a kind act, for charity was
never more needed. Baker sank
lower and lower us the disease
made Its fearful ravages, and en-
yesterday be gave up the ghos / .
Since his illness bis wife has given
birth to another child.
The funeral services will be hefd
this afternoon 81 4 o'sltcx. The
will be conducted IRON Dr.
Thompson's residence, and L. b

TO raise money for the funeral
expenses, and secured S26 00.
Five dollars Of this came from the

II is said that Baker aud his

that they have simply met with the
hard luck which IS liable to come
TO any or all Of us some time in
