THE FLlMFLAMMlNG
 OF THE FRATERNALS
Williams Had Them at His Mercy, Then MercifulIy Allowed Them a Chance a. Home.

The only whiff of the platter enjoyed yesterday afternoon by the Fraternals
 came in the eighth inning. when Will Hams threw wild to second to make a 1 double play and let in one run, and gave the batter third station. from which point he came home on sac rifice fly to left They were runs en- tirely unearned for otherwise the Fra ternals exhibited preponderance of no sabe with the stick and IS strike outs were credited up to the Mesa battery.

The Confederate Veterans are Cordially Invited to be Present

The annual reunion of the Mis-
sissippi Division, United Confeder-
ate Veterans, to be held at Green
wood, October 7 and s next, prom
Uses to be.a red letter event in the
lives of the old soldiers. Grand
preparations are being made to
entertain the veterans and make
them realize that their deeds of
valor in the great struggle for con-
stitutional liberty have not been
forgotten by a grateful people.
Every veteran who can possibly do
so ought to 60 to the reunion at
Greenwood, for it may be the last
opportunity many will have. The
ranks OF the old soldiers are rapidly
thinning as Father Time with his
scythe is making his ceaseless round
and is moving them down one by
one. Soon there will be none left
to tell the story of the days Of the
great conflict. Go to the reunion,
old boys, and meet your comrades,
maybe for the last time.--Laurel
