SIZE congregation at the morning
service. 1t was another hot day in
the house. We were so glad to see
5, many visitors present. and we
assure you a hearty welcome every

park service was well attended and
we had good service. | must con-
fess my surprise at the people of
various churches that have not
been to single service this sum-
mer at the park. Some are taking
it easy, some are taking JOY ri les,
and so it goes | am frank to say
that | fear we have been making a
mistake and will have to meet it
in the judgment against us The
services have been good but what
might they have been if all the pro

Mr.. WILLIAM HUNT IS
VICTIM Of ACCIDENT

Mr.. William Richard nunt was
struck by an automobile driven by
Mrs. Will Williams on Church street
Friday afternoon and died at a sani-
tarium in Atlanta late Sunday after
noon without regaining conscious
ness.
Mr.. Hunt was utterly deaf and ac-
customed to looking always just IN
front of his Ieet, never turning to
either side, so he could not hear
either the calls of bystanders or the
Aauto horn and when he saw the
HCar and tried to get out of the street
it was too late. The accident was
unavoidable and Mrs Williams risk
sd her life and ruined her new car
III trying to escape a collision. She
ran into big tree on the side walk
and Mr.. Hunts head struck the curb
stone with such force as to produce
fracture aud conclusion of the
brain. Although an OF ration was
resorted to on Sunday morning it
was without benefit.
Mr.. Ed Gilbert chanced to be leav-
ing the Brumby garage when the ac-
cident occurred and he took Mr.. Hunt
in his car up to Dr. Elders office.
The funeral was held in Blacks
chapel by Rev. Randolph Claiborne,
rector or st. James Church, and the
burial was in the city cemetery be-
side his parents. He leaves one
brother, James B. Hunt, of Rock
well, Fla, who was with him before
he died and one sister in California
. and another in Boston.

score of to 4. Bryant pitching for
Marietta, was hit hard but by good
support and some clever headwork
managed to pull out of several bad
holes. Rucker, who needs no intro
duction to Marietta fans, was also
hit hard, the hits coming with men
on bases and meaning runs. The
fielding of both teams was decidedly
off color but was largely due to the
condition of the grounds Notwith-
standing, several pretty plays were
made by the Marietta infeld. These
cut off number of Roswell runs,
as they were all made when thera
were men on bases. A fast double
play was pulled by each team-Bry-
ant to Hill to Hawkins, and Rucker
to Rucker to Oliver.
Extra Dase hits were FREQUENT
Norris, Hill and Waddell, getting
doubles and McNeel a triple for Ma

the number of hits, each getting two.
McLain and Morris hit timely scor-
ing men from second and third. OIiv-
er and NJ. Rucker led for Roswell
