HANKS OF HARVARD.
He Got the Best of President Roose
Welt at CoIege-Ta5!~s Turned.

President Roosevelt was noted for
his experiences as a boxer when at
Harvard, and the only man who ever
got much the best of him was husky
fellow named Charles S. Hanks. The
two did not meet for a good many
years after their graduation, but one
day when he had become president Mr..
Roosevelt came across his old college
antagonist on a train, slapped him on
the shoulder and renewed friendship.
He asked Hanks what he was doing,
and the latter replied he was spending
his money and drinking hghballs. The
chief magistrate intimated that IL he

the president gave him the chance and
had him put on the payroll while at

groundless, and the incident was clos
ed by a letter from the president to
Mr.. Hanks in which the former init
mated somewhat bluntly that he
thought he had been imposed upon.

1t is with deep regret that we an
nounce the death of little Johnnie Hol-
Inns, who died March %, 1907, with
pneumonia fever The funeral was
conducted by Rev. J. T. Boston, and
interment made at Shantytown.
He is missed by all his playmates.
He is missed from his room,
His chair is vacant at the table
Morning, night and noon;
When we gather round the fireside,
We cannot see his little face,
And when we gather round the table
Oh there is vacant place.
His little chair is empty now,
The little clothes laid by,
And when the angels called him home
To dwell up there on high, 8
There was an angel band in Heaven
That was not quite complete,
So God took our darling Johnnie
To fill the vacant seat;
But now we have lost our darling child,
He has bid us all adieu.
He has gone to live in heaven,
Our darling child is lost to view.
Oh, our darling, how we loved him
Oh, how hard to give him up,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no darling now,
And all is dark within our dreaming,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
The friends and neighbors all sym
pathize with the heart broken parents.
Weep not, loved ones, for he is better
off than mortal hands can make him.

OBITUARY.

Again the death angel has crossed
the threshold of once happy home
and robbed it of one of its brightest
gems. 1t was on Monday morning at
1880 that our Heavenly Father called
dear Annie away to Him in Glory.
Mrs. Annie Nolen was the wife of
Fred Nolen and the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Davis She will be
greatly missed by large circle of
friends besides her husband and pa
rents. She only lived 10 days after she
was taken sick. Through her affection
she was kind and loving to all around
her. She was kind and loving wife
and daughter. =
Just before she died she called her
husband and parents to her bedside
and bid them all goodbye, telling them
she was going home and asking them
to meet her in heaven. She had them
promise to meet her in heaven, so
father, mother, brothers and sisters
remember her last request. Annie was
II years old. She leaves to mourn her
loss a husband, father, mother, four
sister and three brothers. They have
the sympathy of a large circle of
friends. May God comfort them in
their bereavement, for He alone can
heal all our sorrows. A FRIEND.

Jasper 7, Sequachee 3.

A six-inning game of ball was play,
ed at Jasper Saturday afternoon anu
resulted in the usual victory for JAS
per. The Sequachee team was scrub
bed up for the purpose of returning
the game played here by the Pryor In
stitute team last fall. When they ar
rived there, however, they found sew
en- Jasper players, assisting two Pryor
Institute players to win. For four IN
nings the game was very prettlly con
tested, only two runs being scored
and those by Sequachee. with two
out in the first half of the fifth inning
decision was made at third wnlch
took the gimp out of the locals. The
ball was fielded to Curtis to put out
Jasper runner. Both men colllded
about ten feet off the base, and Curtis
was borne backward, however grasplng
the ball firmly, and touching his op-
ponent with it. He was thrown to the
ground and did not let the ball slip
from his grasp until after he touched
the ground As he was thrown heavl-
ly it is supposed the force of his fall
knocked the ball from his hands, as he
clearly had it in his grasp all the time
he was borne backward A case like
this in a game with Victoria last year
was decided against the Sequachee
player who did it, and no KICK was
made. In this case the runner should
have been called out, for smuggling tao
tics are not base ball. Several wild
throws finished the work, three OF
them by the gentleman who played
left field for Sequence, being very
wild. The game was to have been
commenced at O'Clock, but it was
nearer 3 when "play ball was called.
This of course shortened the game, and
prevented the locals any chance OF pull
ing the game out of the fire. The UNI
pires were L. A. Spears and B. E. Ia
tum, alternating, Spears giving the
best decisions.
Lacy Condra of Whitwell pitched
a fine game, and MINIS for Jasper,
was in old-time form. Alvin Spears
made the prettiest catch for Jasper, a
high fly from Hills bat to right field.
He was playing second base, ?. Bre-
wer, Alexander and Robertson did good
work for Jasper. The only Pryor In
stitute students participating were
Springfield catching and Darr third
base.
For Sequachee Condra made crack
erjack one-hand catch of high fly
and Lee made some nice plays at short.
DeSabla caught good game, but got
his right hand spill In the fourth in
ming but pluckily continued.
Errors were plentiful

Worth Knowing About.

If you need tirst-class laxative,
there is nothing better nor safer than
that old family remedy, Brandreth' s
Pills. Each pill contains one grain of
solid extract of sarsaparilla, which,
with other valuable vegetable products,
make it blood purifier of excellent
character. If you are troubled with
constipation, one pill at night will
afford great relief.
Brandreth' Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.
