BLACKMLLE WINS FROM
BARNWELL IN FINE GAME
Large Crowd Witnessed Contest on
Thanksgiving Day.
In a highly exciting contest in which
the Goddess Luck played no small
part, Blackville won from Barnwell
in the Thanksgiving Day football
classic, the score being 7 to 2. It is
not detracting from the glory of the
winners in any way to say that the
best team did not win—and this state
ment could have been made truthfully
regardless of the outcome—for both
it would be unfair to say thaf~either
is the best.
The kick-off was made in a drizzle

quarter it was seen that the team
which got the “breaks" would be the
winner, if the game did not result in
a tie. For three periods the score
was 04). and then the fickle goddr«s

THANKSGIVING PASSED
QUIETLY IN DUNBARTON
Many Rested, Others Went Hunting
and Some Saw Football Game.
Dunbarton, Dec. 4.—Thanksgiving
passed off very quietly in Dunbarton.
Most of the people took the occasion
to enjoy a day of rest. As is the case
on the first day when the bird season
comes in, a great many went hunting.
They report fair luck, nobody having
been_j*eported for exceeding the bag
limit. Several others who think more
of football than hunting went to see
•elevens were so evenly matched thaTJthe Barnwell - Bldckville game r.t
Blackville. This was the most excit
ing game played ?n the county this
season and was w?U worth the trip
over there.
