THE GOOD OLD GAME

Wen, Solf may be all right to NAV
Io"hd out fellows who are skinny,
but II Is not candle ray
10 that old boyhood game Of shlnney.
hor making youthful blood run red
II had golf chased below the bed
NOW they POLITELY walk about
and nave boy to tote the brassy
ana go upon the green logged out
IN garments very loud and sassy.
ana all too proud and dignified
10 shinney on the other side,
mat was game to stir the blood
Alright. If memory isn't tickle,
But Oh, players name was mud
ana often were his shins In pickle
AZ on the wrong side he essayed
10 venture when the game was PLAYED.
IN vacant lot when school was out
Inc players for the game assembled
And when contest was IN douht
Tho old earth with excitement trem-
bled.
no side could 90 to sleep and win II:
1here was mtxup every minute.
IL may be golf is more polite.
WIN less excitement and blood spill
BUT II my memory serves me right
Old shinney was a deal more thrilling
Gdf may be better on the whole.
DuA satohey was no morning stroll.

Where He Fell Down,

Where He Fell Down
he had the moral courage
To face a belchtng gun,
And from female agent
He wouldn't ever run.
When fearful wife asked him
What kept him out so late,
without a sign Of flinchlng
He always told her straight
He even met his tailor
With calm and steadfast eye:
he went through darkest alleys
When holdup men were nigh.
But. oh. his moral fiber
Lacked one important prop
he always tipped the waiter:
He hadn't nerve to stop.

To those whose patronage aid

alive. through the years when
Ocilla was a mere village till now,
Nnen the splendid growth of the
town opens up for it an era of
prosperity. l am also grateful,
though l shall not share in its
prosperity. However if it shall

toll l have given it thrown away.
l have been retired from the

have no kick 10 make. They
simply exercised the power they
held, whether wisely or not, the
future of the paper alone can

The new management owns

to the time paid for, and those

Is there any connection between the ON

Hon. Walter Steeds IS retirement just at this

Gambler, West aud Blalock will not run the
ace alone. The vacancy caused by Steed's
vithdrawal will soon be filled.
When the great mass of the people take the

Most of the streets and side alleys are very
'presentable, but we have grave doubts about
some of the back alleys and back yards especial

We know very little, either personally or
POLITICALLY, of Hon. Walter Steed, but the lofty
'aentiments expressed in his letter of retirement
mark him as man of more than Ordinary

ditical smallnesses.

and long life to Hanlon.
We have fully determined not to be coaxed
