colored BOYS Play Interesting Gam.

Quite an interesting game of
ball was played by the colored
boys of Northeast Spencer and
Petersville. Davidson county, at
Northeast Spencer on Monday.
The Petersv;lle boys we're not in
it even a little bit. The score
stood % to 2 in favor of the
Northeast Spencer boys. There
certainly must have been some
dust kicked up at this game judg
ing by the amount of running
done.
