"MADDOXVILLE." "

Backward, turn backward,
 o Time! in your flight;
 Bring back the past, if just for one
 night,
 Over my slumbering vision keep Draw down the veil
 Fer I shall weep"
 Several years have rolled away on the swift wings of Time since l at tempted to write a contribution for the dearest old paper in the world, the Log Cabin Democrat, and l am not sure that our kind editor will pub fish it. However, just at the present moment it seems perfectly natural to occupy myself at this not unpleasant task.
 We have been absent from dear old Arkansas two years. Our home is in our native land, the grand old Empire state, Georgia Our home is at Fig nall, young, progressive town on the Elberton and Eastern railroad, IF miles from Washington, Georgia, 22 miles from Elberton, Ebert county, 13 miles from Atlanta. Our home county is Wilks.
 Notwithstanding the "old red hills" which bear the name of worn-out land, when seasonable it is one of the finest farming sections in the south fine roads, fine schools and among the best people on earth. Certainly, it is state, but three cheers for dear old Arkansas, especially for Faulkner county, which is associated with so many dear and precious memories. In our opinion, she is making rapid pro- gress toward modern improvements, and we are sure that in the not far distant future the roar of the locomo tive will be heard OCT the distant hills, and old Faulkner county and adjoining counties will form the cen tral portion of the garden spot of the world
 We are very much grieved to find our dear father, Uncle Tom" Mad dox, seriously i'll with cancer of the face. Everything possible has been done to stay the hand of that dread disease, but to no avail. Friends and relatives are so kind in lending a helping hand, and we take this means to extend to them our deepest heart felt thanks.
 Granville Short and Henry Good 1 Joe of Bethesda visited their grand parents last week.
 Little Misses Eleanor and Lula Ev- ans of Tignall, Ga, were shopping at Rosebud with MT. and Mrs. S. B. Blackmon last Saturday.
 Rev. and Mrs. Ben H. Maddox are the happy parents of 10 pound preacher-boy.
 s Prof. Raymond Goddard, wife and children of Bethesda visited Uncle Tom" Maddox last Sunday afternoon.
 Now, kind editor and friends, we must bid you farewell. Our visit among the dear old quill-driving fra ternity has been very pleasant and enjoyable one, and we thank you all for your kindness and patience in list ening to our pen-conversation.
 May peace, happiness, prosperity and friends be your companions in your journey through life, is the hearty wish of your friend and old Correspondent,

TIE greatest football game OF the sea-
son will be played in New Haven. Conn.,,
next Saturday. when Yale meets Har-
ward before a crowd estimated at 1000
persons.
This contest will be played in the new
Yale Bowl. when the bowl is officially
thrown open to the public for the first
time.
Harvard with its veteran team drilled
to the minute and in the pink of con-
dition, picked by many as the logical
winner. will find in Yale a sure enough
opponent, and II a victory is turned in
the Crimson resources will have been
tested to the utmost.
Harvard must reckon with Yale in all
its strength. not with the bewildered
squad of first and second string players
who were battered and showed aside by
he inspired playing OF Princeton in the
last ten minutes of Saturdays game IN
the Palmer Stadium.
Yale at its best as disclosed in the first
three periods of the Princeton battle is
a mighty force built around one OF the
greatest backfields ever assembled on a
fotball eleven.
There are those who will say that
YaIe's defense is weak. but this fact Is
not borne out by the detailed account OF
the Tiger battle. The blue linesmen
have a tremendous surprise in store for
Johnny Harvard. The game will be a
battle of giants. and should prove one
Of the most interesting fought by the
rival universities.
That Yale will win next Saturday Is
the opinion of the writer. The Ellis have
just as heavy a rush line as Harvard, a
faster backfield and an attack that VIII
not be stopped.
Charley Brickley the great Crimson
drop kicker and captain will not be in
the game unless his services are required
for just this stunt. Brickley's absence
is sure to hurt. there is nobody at Har-
ward able to lake his place, contrary re-
ports notwithstanding.

typhoid fever at his home in BatssSille. Ind. may

Scrubs Give @. y. Varsity
Fierce Battle on Hilltop

Using Washington and Jefferson's best
scrubs yesterday gave the varsity foot
ball eleven a mighty battle during a
sCrimmage which lasted for more than
an hour.
When the players were sent back to the
gymnasium nearly every member of the
first team rush line was bleeding about
the face, and mo-, than one bloody nose
was in evidence as the second team play
ers walked or the field.
The scrimmage was the fierCest ever
seen on Georgetown field. The tip was
out that owing to the poor showing by
the varsity forwards against NJ. a. c.
on Monday a change in the lineup for
Saturday might be ordered by the
coaches.
Naturally this caused the first string
men TO fight TO hold their jobs. and the
scrubs to battle with equal ferceness to
make d favorable impression on the
coaches.
Suppiee, of the sophomore team. and
MCNulty. of the freshmen eleven, were
drafted by the scrubs and both attracted
attention. The scrubs, by means of
Washington and Jefferson's plays, scored
a touchdown and a safety, while the
varsity rolled up q points.
Another sCrimmage is on the boards
for this afternoon and the men who will
start the game against the Pennsylva-
mans Saturday will be picked Friday
night. Several of the so-caIled regulars.
it is claimed. may watch the game from
the side lines.
