TWO GOOD BASKET BALL GAMES.
Dawson Defeats Americas and Loses
to Mercer.

Dawson gave return game in
Americas last Thursday night and
won from the Y. M. G. A. team by a
score of "a to 16. Dawson played
excellent ball, and Americas first
tried to win by fair play, then los
ing both game and her head she pro-
ceeded to rough it up a bit, but our
local fans know our boys are always
there with the goods and lively
scrap ensued. Dawson only had four
men able to play and had to get Mr..
BILLY" Lockett OF Albany. Lockett
played a fine game, and made our
boys think of our old player, Mr.. Lee
Ingram.
When Americas played her last
game here and was defeated the
claim was made that they could not
do themselves justice on the poor
court of the local team, which is an
old empty store house with barrel
slaves for goals, but that they would
show the trough necks" of Dawson
how to play on their own well equipp-
ed court. Well, the game turned out
disastrously for the braggarts, and
the local trough necks,' as they were
called, gave the Americas "dandies"
the whipping they so richly deserved
and proved the old adage that 'he
who laughs last last best"
The Americas boys still think they
have the best team and will play
Dawson again soon.
Dawson tied up with the Mercer
University basket ball team Saturday
night, and the first half of the game
looked as IL Dawson would be wal
Hoped good, but after the first half
our boys came back strong and play
ed Mercer to a score of 23 to 10.
Mercer had her football team, and
played football instead of basketball,
and our boys were forced to play a
game they had never played before.
The lineup in both games
was: Dozier, r. c., Lockett, l.. G.,
Christie, c., Black, r, F., Mathis,

Many Attended Religious Services.

Last Sunday being the first pretty
Sabbath this year large congregations
greeted the pastors, the attendance at
Sunday schools was better also. A
feature of the evening hour at the
Methodist church was the choir of
young men, who furnished excellent
music suited to the special sermon to
the young people. The subject was
"King Saul's Failure" Many express
sions of approval and delight were
heard concerning the singing by the
young men, and all will join in the
hope that this is to be a permanent
feature of the evening services.

THE MAN WHO REPEATS

Have you ever noticed how few
middle-aged men can talk along and
say what they have to say without
stammering and repeating? In this
county the repeaters are mostly resi-
dents of the towns and are engaged
in some kind of business that re-
quires headwork, sometimes supposed
to be able to lie a little. The man
down on the farm, II he has anything
to say, goes ahead and says it and
quits. But the stammering man, the
repeater, starts to say something,
says few words and stops abruptly
as if he were afraid he was about to
corner himself in. a lie, and he starts
again and keeps repeating until he
has time to. reflect upon what he has
told about. the subject at some other
time, and when he decides what it il
safe to say he; finishes. It doesn't
seem to be an impeachment of speech
but an impeachment of plans, as If
he had been speaking guardedly on
certain subjects and the habit had
grown upon him until he unconscious
ly spars little on the beginning of
every discussion.

had some bills that we're not present
ed within the time laid down by the

they debated whether to lay them
over until the first meeting in De-

do.

seemingly found something alive for
he spread it out on the table and
showed it across to the clerk, blush
ing as he did so. 1t was his October
bill and the council ordered it placed
with the other bills that came in late.
James Boyle, Mrs.. Boyd and Miss
Brooks asked the council to put in a

was denied for the. reason that the

asked the improvement committee
why they had moved so much dirt.
He had been out to look and was
very much surprised that they had
plowed up and moved the whole sur
face. 1t was not in the original plan
to move any but the high points and
use them to build the dykes where
dykes were needed. Councilman Ber-
ryman replied that the survey called
for the removal of practically all Of
the surface, and as the sod was heavy
they had to pillow deep.
