BASKET BALL

The girls and boys basket ball
teams of J. H. S. met the respective
teams of the Vidalia High School at
the latter place last Saturday, and
after two of the most exciting and
well played games, emerged only
part victors; the boys winning by a
twenty-five ii twenty-six score, and
after two extra five minute periods
had been necessary to break tie scores
30 to 20, and % to %; while the
Jonesville girls, after a very plucky
fight with their excellent playing op.
ponents, were defeated by a 10 to {
score.
To say that Vidalia treated hcl
visitors in hospitable manner doe:
not do her justice, for in our exper
ichce we have never known more
royal reception accorded visitors
and very Jonesville player is high il
his praise Of the splendid treatnen
they received. Such a splendid spiri
prevailing between the schools is il
every sense praiseworthy, and Vida

GOOD ROADS IN FIRST WARD

AS evidence of what little work
win do toward improving the condi-
ton Of the roads, those who travel
the improved roads in the LIST. Ward
Of Concordia Parish can testify.
From Glendale Plantation to Coo
chic, Black Hawk land Shaw, and
neighboring plantations the roads
have been graded and fairly we'll
drained and at present automobiles
can travel these roads all the way in
high gear. With a graded road well
drained through the Bougere Swamp
for only about five miles, the roads
from Vidalia to the southern end of
the Parish would be in excellent con-
dition, as far as surface roads will
permit.

FIRES. ETC.

A fire alarm at noon yesterday
brought out the volunteer fire de-
partment to the Schiele residence.
The fremen could not get the hose
house open, as it was locked; but a
garden hose quickly extinguished the
fame which caused only a slight
damage to the roof.
Yesterday afternoon bucket of
gasoline was accidently knocked off
the work bench near a burning coal
stove at the Lucas Garage and in an
instant the entire rear end of the
building was ablaze. Mr.. Hagle
rushed to the rescue with small
pyrene fire extinguisher and put out
the fire quickly. Two of the work
men, James Pierson and Henry Dunn,
were painfully burned; the latter
rather seriously. Both men were
