Hand to Hand.

The faint gray light of early dawn
rested upon the outside world, and
through the feeting shadows Of the
mist | was able to distinguish much
which before had been shrouded by
the black curtain. In front Of the
window where | rested, the grass
covered lawn sloped gradually down
ward until 1t terminated at a low
picket fence, thickly covered with
vines. A great variety of shrubs,
which during the night had doubtless
| afforded shelter for sharpshooters,
dotted this grass plot, while beyond
the fence boundary stood a double row
of large trees. To the far left Of u
position the burnt stable yet smol-
| dered DULY, occasionally sending up a
shower Of sparks as a draught OF air
famed the embers, but there were few
signs of life visible. For the moment
| even hoped our enemies might have
grown discouraged and withdrawn.

Y.M.C.A. WINS
FROMBREWTON
BY BIG SCORE
ALARAMlANs NO MATCH FOR
LOCAL BOYS, WHO PLAY A
FINE GAME OF BASKETBALL.

The Brewton Athletic club may
have fine team. but they must have
left it in Brewton. judging from the
easy manner in which the Y. Nj. C. A.
team played rings around their rep
resentatives last night. From the out
set 1t was evident that it would be a
one-sided affair. At the end of the
first half the home team had the big
end Of a "a to score. The Bewton
boys picked UP in the second half and
the playing was fast at times. but
they could not stop the stampede and
at the last the score stood SO to II in
favor of Pensacola
The local team will go to Brewton
for a return game In a short time.
Brewton promises them more inter-
esting contest at that time.
Interest now centers in the con-
tests scheduled for next Wednesday
night. A double-header is the bill and
the public win be treated to some
good sport
