Foot Ball.

What is pronounced by the spectators
who witnessed the struggle as being the
best game OF football seen on the local
gridiron was played between the High
School teams OF Jackson and Union
City ON last Saturday afternoon, the
result being a scoreless game. Neither
team was able to cross the goal line OF
their opponents for score. The game
was played by Union City against heavy
odds, the Jackson team being composed
Of heavier men, as well as being older
both in age and at the game.
When the jackson team appeared on
the field for brief signal practice few
minutes before the game, it was pre-
dicted by numerous spectators who had
witnessed Union City's performance
against Fulton week prior to the
jackson game, that Jackson would de-
feat Union City by decisive score.
But a surprise was in store for both the
spectators and the Jackson team, for
when the teams we're lined up and jack
son kicked off to Union City, the local
eleven began series OF long end runs
and line plunges that Jackson was not
looking for and seemed unable to stop,
and it Immediately became evident that
the two opposing teams were going to
find worthy opponent in each other.
Although both teams fumbled and lost
the ball several times during the game,
these errors were not costly. The Union
City team showed splendidly in their
defensive playing, outplaying the Jack
son team in this part Of the game. The
local eleven repeatedly broke up Jack
sons interference, and downed their
runners behind the line Of scrimmage.
Although Union City failed to gain any
considerable ground through Jackson $
line, they more than made this up in
their plays around Jackson's ends. The
back field OF the Union City eleven,
composed OF Semones, Rippy and For
roster, played strong game, making
repeated gains around Jackson's ends.
The interference Of the Union City team
was all but perfect, Jackson being UNI
able, with a few exceptions, to break i
for a loss. Rodgers, at quarter, played
a strong game, showing splendid judg-
ment in the tight places with one single
exception, which probably cost the local
team the game. With the ball on
Jackson's five-yald line, forward pass
was called, which was incomplete, and
the ball went to Jackson on the twenty
yard line. The strength Of the local
team was clearly demonstrated when, in
the last quarter, they held Jackson for
downs on the five-yard line and gained
the ball.
This is the second game played this
season by the two teams, the other
being played at Jackson few weeks
ago, when Jackson defeated the local
eleven by score OF twenty-six to zero.
That Union City was able to hold the
Jackson team scoreless Saturday is due
to the fact that they had undergone
hard practice during last week in prep
aration for the game OF Saturday, and
as result showed a splendid develop
ment.
The game was marred somewhat by
the rough tactics Of some OF the Jack
son players, notably the "stockingless
wonder" OF that team, who repeatedly
attempted slugging during the game.
These tactics called forth loud protest
from the sideIines on the part Of the

Missionary Meeting.

The Young Woman's Missionary So
ciety Of the Methodist Church had its
regular meeting Wednesday afternoon.
The devotional service was conducted
by Miss Clara Mcconnell, followed by
business meeting presided over by Mrs.
Ben Bransford, who has been serving
as president during the absence OF Miss
Kate Robinson.
We discussed the Thanksgiving cake
sale and the bazaar. 1t was voted that
we pay $40 on the new church lot,
which removes the debt.
There was feeling OF sadness in our
hearts because Of the going away of
Mrs. Adams, wife OF our retiring min
lister. We cannot express what she has
been to us. Wewere justin our infancy
when she came here two years ago, and
although she was not made president OF
the older society, she worked with us
ais il she was not serving and giving
through any other channel. Mrs. ADJ
ans is woman of unusual ability, and
her pleasant smile, cordial welcome and
encouraging words have not only en-
deared her to us but we feel stronger in
His service for having known her. Her
great liberality. faithful service and UNI
selfish love for missions reminds us OF
one of old OF whom it was said, She
hath done what she could !"
AS token of our love and appreci-
alton we presented her with two pretty
gold pins. She spoke very tenderly OF
her love forus and the pleasure she had
had in working with us, and that she
would carry with her very sweet and
tender memories OF us and urged that
we continue in the work and to be ever
faithful to Him. May Gods richest
blessings rest upon her and Bro. Adams
is our prayer.

What TO DO in Thunderstorrns.

A student of electricity goffers in
the New York Sun this advice to
persons who are afraid of lightning:
Il in a building which is isolated
in the open country OF is higher than
surrounding buildings in a group,
avoid chimneys or other flues, open
windows or draughts, especially
warm currents of air, directly below
a high tower Or flagpole, peak OF
angle OF the structure. Keep away
from overhead wires entering a
building. Although, these are. gener-
ally protected by lightning arresters,
the current is not always arrested
IF in the open, avoid trees, wire
fences or poles, and if you happen
to be the most prominent object in
the landscape, as in an open field or
on a beach, do not raise a steel rod
umbrella or in fact any umbrella, as
you may become a living lightning
rod without an approved ground con-
nection
eff you should happen to be caught
in such open space, with lightning
discharges coming very close, as may

tervals between flash and report, it
is better to lie flat on the ground
and risk a soaking than to offer a
possible path for discharge. The
reason for this is that the body, be-
ing warm, offers a better conductor
than the surrounding air, and but a
few feet rise is necessary to at
tract lightning on flat ground
Having observed these simple pre-
cautions, take this additional piece
of advice, with our compliments
Don't worry. The number of deaths
from lightning is very small. Be-
cause they are usually dramatic, they
are wildly reported by efficient and
news writers, but there
aren't many of them. And if it |
should be your rare destiny to pass
away on the wings of an electrical
storm, why, you'll have this consola-
tlon-you will escape the long-drawn
agony of bed Of pain.-Daily States.

Cut Out the Lamentations.

After all there is a good deal in
talk. Let a man talk dull times and
it is infectious everybody talks dull
times. Instead of rustling around
to take care of what business there
is, they all go and sit down and
NOPE over dull times. If a customer
does happen to- drop into one OF
these dull tines stores he act
ually gets frightened out Of one
halt as much Jas he expected to- buy,
because things look SO blue. He
catches the spirit OF the store and
resolves to hang on to all his money
with a death grip even if his bust
ness goes to- pieces on account Of
short of goods to fill up
the empty shelves. The bugbear
Of hard times should be sat down
upon. 1t is doing more to kill
business than anything else. Tell
a man he is sick, keep it up and
you will eventually hound him to
death.-Delhi Progress.

A Tangipahoa Patriarch.

The New Orleans Daily States pub,
fishes an Interesting biographical
sketch of Rev. William A. Addison, a
venerable Baptist minister who died
at his home in Tangdpahoa parish,
June 10, aged 80 years, leaving an
unusually long list of lineal de-
scendants. He was Q native of the
locality where he spent nearly all
of his long life, the only consider
able interregnum in his residence
there having occurred during the ci-
vii war, when he served as a Con-
federate soldier in Capt. Willis
Bankston's company until the sur
render of Port Hudson, when he was
captured and paroled. Mr.. Addison
was married in 1850, when only 10
years old, and is survived by his
widow, six children, forty-five grand
children, eighty-fiye great-grandchil-
dren, three grandchildren
three sisters and a number of
nepheWs and nieces. His mother
died at his home in 1896, aged IS
years, leaving 1853 living descendants.
Indians still Inhabited the Florida
parishes in considerable number
when Mr.. Addison was a youth, and
he learned to speak their language
fluently. He smoked a pipe habi-
tually, but was very temperate, new
er using intoxicants as a beverage,
but taking drink whenever he felt
that lit would benefit him He was
universally respected and esteem
I'd, and his funeral is said to have
been the largest on record in Tan
sipahoa parish.

Boost,

Ihere are a great many people on
this earth we don't need and who
we wish we could just easily push
off. Knockers, for instance. There
is difference between a knocker
and kicker. Sometimes people
kick to good purpose. But a
knocker is a knocker-a pest and a
destroyer. Here is the way to push
the knocker into oblivion:
Boost!
Boost your town. Boost your bust
ness. Boost your friends. Boost
your ideas. Boost everything that
helps you. Be a booster and you
can't help but be a builder.
Boost!
The man who boosts is a leader.
He is always followed by a crowd.
His philosophy at once becomes con-
tagious. He leaves a trail of
boosters in his path, and those who
follow him cut his name into bronze
Boost!
When You don't know what else
to do--boost. It makes little odds
what you boost SO long as you boost
something. Once you form the habit
YOU need have no fear for lack of
things to boost. They will spring
up from every direction.
= zBoosti
II you want to be happy-boost.
It you want to get higher in the
World-boost, The busiest and
wisest men that live will be glad
to listen to you if you're booster.
Learn the knack Of boosting. It's
a great knack-more important
than any pull or Influence e.
and it's bigger than money.-George

Times-Democrat.
