Telegram Also a Failure.
The telegram has ALWAYS been more
or less of a failure, too. Every woman
is born with the undying belief that
the presentation of a yellow telegraph
envelope forecasts murder violence and
sudden death. When she finds that her
husband is merely staying downtown
on business engagement" the reac-
tion IS so severe that she won't speak
to him for a week. One would think
that she had rather counted on collect
ing his life insurance and nursed a
sense of injury because she had been
unjustly cheated out of it.
So the telephone and the telegram
have not come up to scra tcf.
How different is Postmas ter Prae2er's
owl mail service.
The gentleman who is una BILE to
telephone distinctly or who is afraid
to send telegram still is able to write
letter filled with sweet sentiment
and touching thoughts. About mid
night he has reached that expansive
state where he is deeply devoted to his
wife-a bsence having made the heart
this feeling is upon him.

BANDITS LOSE FAST GAME.

Monday the Bandits played their
opening game in Ocilla and were
defeated by a score of eight to
three. That is not bad considering
that the Bandits are a new organi-

the battery for the Doc players.
Littlefield is a high school pitcher
of some ability, and will make a
good one in a few years. He held
the locals to five hits. Tucker and
Hammock worked for Ocilla. The
runs were mostly due to errors on
both sides.
