Nv
baseball club at Porterville, on
Tuesday, is but a further exploita-
ton of the argument that to play
successful ball a team must practice
together. Scooba and adjacent ter
ritory has baseball players who are
players right, yet at P~orterville, for
want of practice together, they got
ratified at the first mishap and went
to pieces like q bevy of schoolgirls
at the sight of a mouse. Get to-
gether and practice, boys, and don't
let's have anym such foolishness
as was instanced on Tuesday.
Mr.. Charles Baltzar, president of
the Hickman Wagon Manufacture
ing Company, spent Saturday and
Sunday in Scooba as guest OF his
sister, Mrs. Ben L. K~uykendall.
Mr.. Baltzar has been travelling
over parts of Mississippi, and SEEM
ed much surprised at the little in
terest taken in a Investigation OF
crops in this state. He informed us
that, in his opinion, tobacco as good
as any raised in Kentucky could be
grown in this immediate section.
Why not try?
The hour for meeting at the Bap-
fist Sunday School has been chang
ed from 10 q. m. to $3.50 a. M, and
it is hoped that all attending will
endeavor to be on hand at that time.
Our Sunday Schools open most too
late to allow time for a full exploit
tatlon of the lesson, on Sabbaths
when there is preaching service in
one of the churches, and a change
in the hour of meeting is very de-
sirable.
Elsewhere in this issue Of THE
HERALD will be found an offer to
