Conversation.

Now, sisters, let us have little talk
on conversation. You'll agree, hope,
that there is room for improvement.
We should note carefully the quality of
talk we hear in the parlor and on
crowded railway cars. The prattle of
the average person has long been a So
cial intiiction and we might say, crush
ing to the finer feelings. A lady, to
test this annoying feature and lack of
courtesy, attended social gathering
when she was greeted by the lady hos
tess as so 80 glad to see you. The
guest responded in a society tone of
voice, II have been dead three days. /"
To which the hostess replied, $50
glad" while her eyes wandered to
other cOmers.
Society is merely cold fee faw FUN.
Just kind of bore, small talk of abb
surdity and to sensitive, refined persons
repellant-nothing charming or inspir-
ing no sympathetic insight to touch
the responsive chords in the listeners
heart and draw from them any
thoughts or views.
Social functions are not elevating,
for the lack Of enterprising topics to
talk on and no young lady is benefited
by them. Our mountain girls are the
beauties of earth, and the city girls
may well envy the pink cheeks of the
mountain girls and their speech is not
so uncouth as represented. They are
honest and virtuous and often possess
dry humor and rugged individuality
and are rapidly being sought out by
men who want wives as helpmates
The mountain girls are truly the
daughters of a brave hardy race and
are Just what they are, and I've often
heard it said they were the fairest
among the fair and for humanity they
were not excelled. No set of young la
dies are attracting more attention than
the girls of our mountain ranges, and
as such I've been writing more to their
interest than anything else. They are
my young sisters and love them and
l hope they will do away with all
slang and silly language and not be a
reproach to the rest. Real worth is
measured by words and by actions and
the tone of voice has it's winning side
like the man who heard ladies' voice
over the phone. 1t bewitched him and
he hunted her up and married her, sc
your letter may bewitch some real gen
tleman who may hunt you up and Offer
you his heart and hand.
SO, my sisters, keep out silly, fee
fun language. Don't write what yor
would not dare to say personally to a
gentleman. Your letters are of thu
conversational order. Please improve
and oblige Your Friend, l..

Tracy IS. Sequachee 9.


A team composed of five Sequachee
and four Jasper PLAYERS, assembled on
short notice, gave the Tracy City team
a chance to win game on the local
ground Saturday afternoon. When the
Sequachians lined up for battle to face
the invincible Kane, the crack pitcher
who held Jasper down to two hits and
nine goose eggs two weeks previously,
comments were audibly expressed that
the locals wouldn't make score, but
as the game progressed it was even ev-
ident that anyone was willing to bet
Sequachee would win in the end.
Dixon, the kid pitcher, was in
the twirling position for the locals
the first inning, and while he has good
speed and curves, through neglect to
watch runners closely, aided by a
comedy of errors, gave the visitors six
runs, whereat they waxed very jubil-
ant. In the next inning Harry Simp-
son pitched and shut them out. but in
the third home run hit by Hall, dis
couraged him and he decided his arm
was too lame. Dixon then went in
and pitched the remainder of the game.
getting better every inning Sequachee
scored in the first inning after two
were out, Hill hitting the hottest kind
of grouuder at Kane, which bounced
off of him to left field, stealing second,
and slashing double by H. Brewer,
bringing him in with yards to spare,
whereat the Sequachee crowd in their
turn waxed exceedingly iubilant, for
shut out was now an impossibility.
Sequachee did not score again until
the fourth and fifth innings, when they
got eight more dumplings on hits by
Hill, DeSabla, Tatum, Hunt and
Springfield, aided by rattling double
by Houts, who however got so exhaust
ed running that he allowed himself to
be put out between third and second.
| Sherman slammed the ball twice. rails
ing some high ones to centre, fine
drive he made in the last inning being
taken in with sensational catch by
Tracy's centre fielder, who spoiled sew
eral good hits
Six innings were to have been play
ed, but Tracy was anxious to get start
ed for home as the game was not begun
until @ clock owing to the exercises of
q. A. r. held in the hall holding some
of the participants.
The game was played in a good ma
oulou ooAb VI way, lhCAO pCAAoIN OOAHB
little more guying and alleged wit
ticisms exchanged than we like to hear
connected with ball game. The dia-
mond was covered with an abundant
growth of natures capillary covering,
there being no time to prepare it, af-
ter Tracy gave notice at 11.45 a. III.
that they would be on hand, and errors
were plentiful on both sides. This
perhaps gave Sequachee an advantage.
as its players, for want of practice,
would have made errors any way.
while Tracy, in fine practice, would
have carried out plays on a skin dia-
mond, which they did't make.
Walter Randle umpired in fair
manner, acceptable to both sides, hav-
ing some close decisions to make, and
there was but little controversy.
