Recently in conversation with our
good friend, DR. sR. O. Huffaker, Of
Tusculum, he said that he wanted to
arrange TO attend some Of our games
before the season was over. 1t has
been our privilege, as far back as we
ca bark, to see the same por-side, pep
by individual dancing on the side
lines-says he would still play if the
opportunity presented itself. AS long
as we have such good fans In the com
munity as the Doctor, the good old
game will go on and fiourisls - are
looking for you, Doctor, and will say
that Jim Maloney and Edgar Keller
are also trying to arrange to take in
some Of the games.
For the red Of Courage, the Gold Of
Faith
Are woven whene'er a man
Looks in the face Of failure
And does the best he Can.
Our team has been looking in the
face Of failure for some time, but
they are still fighting. It's easy when
you win, but it takes the real stuff
20 keep on fighting when you lose. We
are with you, team, win or lose, and
you will find the fans in this burg
as good sports as any, in the long
run.
When am dead, if men can say,
He helped the world upon it's way;
With all his faults of word and deed
Mankind did have some little need
Of what he gave--then my grave
No greater honor shall crave.
Are we doing our part in the little
procession to push things along. A
Ease ball team or Church, or any
other organization will not 60 on with
It's own momentum; it has to be
pushed. Moral: Get behind the team
and help us to victory. We need your
presence at the games, and we need
your boosting among your friends tc
ret them to attend. Get busy-de
your bit.
No, the Dope writer is not poet,
The matter that. he uses, both Poetry
and Prose, is generally cleaned from
;he book. When he is hard pressed
for something to say, all he has to do
is to get down the book and apply it,
in his humble way, to the scenery
spread out around him. We add this;
as there is some question as to the
0opist being able to turn out the high
literary classics which have, through
The kindness of the editor, been ap
bearing in the Sun.
John P. Bacon says that the Dop.
st was in error when he quoted him
as going to take the second degree in
Masonry; he says that the second de-
gree took him, but that there is still
,nough of him left TO take in the
sames on Wednesday ard Thursday
We are predicting for this chesty bird
hat by the time he gets through with
MS Masonic Degrees, we may still See
lin at the games, but will probably
not hear him SO much, as this tribe Of
dispensers Of corn, wine and oil
sometimes knock all the kick out of
some Of these high and wide takers
Permit us to insert this as we are
anxious to warn our good friend We
nus that the paths of the high and
mighty are sometimes over thorny
ground and sometimes in pleasant
neades, but anon, this neophyte will
snow more of this after he has wan
dered along the mysterious paths of
masonry.
The Oldest Inhabitant can not re
member when he had to dig down sc
deep for potatoes. High and Hand
some says this Old Gent had nothing
on him, as he has been having to dig
them out of the dirt around first fol
some time. Take a tip, infelders
and peg to this splash of feminine de
light, right to the spot.
Senator Harding once played
horn in a Village Band; Billy Sunday
once played professional base bali
Cheer up, fans, we may be entertain

Col. 0. S. Mullen and General Sam
Alexander report that there was an
enthusiastic League meeting held at
Johnson City on last Monday; that
his august body have decreed that
we shall have six games per week.
.hree at home and three on the road.
We are heartily in favor Of this, as
t will keep the FASTENERS keyed up to
heir best endeavor, and it is not
much more expensive than the pres
mt system, as it has been taking
practically all of the boys time to
'lay the four games. Other matters

we're gone into and our representa-
ives assure US that the directors of
he League are doing everything in
heir power to make the first season
