The old confederate veterans when
they get in their new home at Beau
voir will not want for friends among
the ladies' The Clraion- Ledger tells
how they will be remembered at
Jackson as follows: Miss Kate
Porter is getting up a box of clothing
to be sent to Beauvoir from the W.
D. Holder chapter U. ID. G. TO be in
readiness for the soldiers on their
arrival, many of whom will have
nothing but what they have on and
in many cases that will be very scant
and indifferent, for instance, tho e
taken from the poor houses. So an
appeal is made for contributions for
this box. Any article of mani S, wear
ing apparel that is not too badly
worn will be gladly received, also a
few pairs of sheets and towels. -

the preservation of the rights conferred
on them and their brethren in the

The following is from theN Biloxi
Herald: Information was received
here this morning that the regular
term of circuit court which was to
convene at Gulfport this week had
been pretermitted, and that a special
term would be held beginning the first
week in December 1t is said that the
p )stponement of the regular term was
made necessary by the fact that the
records of the court officials, recently
removed from Mississippi City to the
new court house at Gulfport, were in
a chaotic condition. The postpone
ment of the court seems to meet with
disapproval by the attorneys and many
of their contingents, but no doubt it
was made necessary on account of the
short time given county officials to
move into their new quarters.

of bales ginned up to the 18th of Oc-

there have been only 479, 103, this

on the ground that great many gins

was not far behind Gardner at any
stage of the fight, they say, and stray
one thrown over might have made the
result different. OF course, a chance
blow might change any result.
1t would rather seem that the real
way to dope" out Gardeners chances

fighting Root than in the closeness of
that battle.

the manager of the Atlanta Southern
League team several years, and he
made a most creditable race for the
pennant.
positive answer has not yet been
received from two of the proposed
cities of the league, but as soon as they
are heard from, a meeting will he
called. and the first steps towards or
ganization will be taken.
The attendance on ball games in all
of the towns which are proposed for
the league during the last season, has
been sufficient to warrant a successful
league for next year. True, in Au-
gusta the team was a financial fail
ure, but this was largely due to the
manner in which the team there was
conducted, and the poor article of ball
that was given to the patrons OF the
game.
In Charleston the City League was a
great success, and never in the palm
lest days of the national game in that
| ancient city, was so much interest
manifested.
In Jacksonville a professional team
was kept during the entire summer,
and though the venture WAS not a sue
cess from a financial standpoint. no
money was lost. This was largely due
to the failure of the management of
the team to arrange for dates. The
pay of the players was going on all
the while, and the occasional games
only netted enough to pay the men.
In Columbus the season was a most
successful one. A team was BOUGHT
outright from Knoxville, Tenn, and
the same thing was true in Columbia.
1t is a well known fact that Macon
is one of the best ball towns in the
South, and in the days of the South
ern League all managers knew that
they would play to large crowds when
they went to the Central City.
In Savannah the games between the
teams of the Tri-Club League were
attended by from 1000 to 1.5O0 people
every Saturday, and even the games
during the week drew never less than
800 people.

the loss of the fight was due to his
