Sequachee II, Coppinger Cove, 8

Sequschee didn't have any widely
advertised "big game" Thursday, Me-
mortal Day, but nevertheless those
who saw the game between the locals
and the Coppinger Cove team had sew
eral chances for thrills.
Coppinger Cove took the lead in the
first inning getting three runs off of
hard hitting and errors. The locals.
however, made a game. up hill fight,
and pulled out at the home stretch
winner, 10 to 8. E. Barrett was in
the box for Sequachee, and pitched a
splendid game. His work in the last
three innings was superlative A.
Barrett did the receiving and caught
nice game. Sam Martin played star
game at first, in one inning, scooping
two grounders and taking liner for
the three outs unassisted. He also
batted finely making four hits and
stealing six bases. II. Brewer did
some neat work at second. Leland was
there with his club and got some nice
hits. Griffith made a peach of
catch in left field, and was also handy
with the stick.
G. Curtis was in the box for Coppin-
ger Cove, and pitched drop ball that
was hit all right, but didn't go any
where. This kept hard hits scattered
and let Coppinger Cove retain it's lead
for long time, but finally Sequachee
got in some beauts of hits and tied the
score in seventh, and after that it was
plain sailing E. Curtis relieved him
in eighth, S. Curtis played a star
game at second, taking everything. A
collision between him and right field
er M. Coppinger, forced the latter to
retire from the game. W. Curtis
caught good game, and Grimes took
in the flies in left in old time style.
Alder played third in fine style, and
was there with his club. The Coppin-
ger Cove boys got on base II times
against Is for the locals, but were not
so lively with their base running.
The score:
Innings, 1913 400 789
Sequachee, 102 015 03x--12
Coppinger Cove, 81 600 210- 8

MEMORIAL DAY

j Its Observance.
FINE ADDRESS BY
BY DR.. STANIFER
Excellent Music Distinguishes
Work of Special Choir.

The Memorial Day exercises of Post
SO, G. A. R., we're thoroughly inter,
esting. The day was an ideal one for
the occasion. There was splendid
: turnout of children with flowers and
flags for the march, and the veterans
were in practically full attendance,
The address by DR.. Standifer, of Jas
per. was heard with close attention,
and appreciation. The music by the
special choir was exceptionally sweet
and splendidly rendered.
In the morning the veterans met at
the Town Hall for their special meet
ing. At the close preparations were
commenced for dinner which was
spread in the hall, with lots of hot
coffee accompanying.
After dinner line was formed, child
rem in number about 100 with flowers
and flags preceding the Post as escort,
and march was taken to Owen Gene
terry, where the graves of both blue
and gray were decorated. Returning
to the Hall the program was taken up.
Major Hill, as Commander of Post,
was in charge of exercises. The choir
rendered the beautiful song, ''Love's
Eirand," after which Maj. Hill read
the Ritual assisted by Comrades Ian
kester for the Army and Comrade Har-
ris for the Navy, Rev. Osborne of
Whitwell, acting as chaplain. 'Slow-
ly Passing Down the Valley y was the
next selection by the choir and was
very effectively given. Mrs. Ava Darr
then recited Lincoln's Address at Get
tysburg in deliberate, impressive
manner that caused close attention.
The anthem, "Sleep On, Sleep On,
Your Cause Is Won" was another
beautiful selection by the choir, after
which DR.. Standifer, pastor of the M
E.. Church, South, at Jasper, was in
tsAduced, who spoke for about half
an hour. His address was much sp-
preciated. He did not ascend to ora
tory, but made plain, simple talk,
He is gentleman who made many
friends during his stay in Sequachee
and is reported to be filling a very sue
cessful pastorate at Jasper. The last
selection by choir was "Our Soldier
Heroes Sleeping, after which Benedic
tion was pronounced by Rev. Osborne
of Whitwell.
The work of the choir deserves spec
ial mention. The pieces selected were
all high class, involving solo, duet
and chorus work, and they were very
effectively and accurately rendered,

Randle, soprano, and Miss Grace Pry

HIM FOR SQUIRREL
Alvin Billingsley Makes Queer Mistake
and Shoots Morris Shumake.

Alvin Billingsley shot Morris Shu-
make Thursday morning, in the ridges
near here, accidentally, while ont
squirrel hunting. Shumake was up in
a mulberry tree and Billingsley came
along, and seeing the branches move
concluded it was full of squirrels and
blazed away at about 35 yards with
No. 9 shot. Shumake fell out of the
tree with the major portion Of the
charge in his neck and back. DIR.
Turner, of Jasper, was hastily sum
moned and picked out Is of the shot
from his back and shoulder. 1t is
feared that one of the shot has pene'
trated to his lung and that the termi-
nation of the accident will be fatal.
Squirrels are great lovers of null
berries, and go to the mulberry trees
to fill up on the fruit, and in conse-
quence hunters are in close watch on
such places where trees are located
Billingsley saw Shumake's hand NOV
ing among the leaves and shot, think
ing it was squirrel, without making
close investigation. He is much con-
cerned over the unfortunate affair.

Now this position of MIR, Brannan
