Store Bttrned--No Insurance.
The store of Sims & Beaty, at Maybinton,
was burned last Friday under
very suspicious circumstances. "NVhen
the lire was discovered the back window
was open and the wall near the oil tank
was burning, several kegs of powder
being in stock no one would venture to
enter the building and consequently
nothing was saved. The loss is very
heavy, between S3,COO and $4,000 with
no insurance. The building belonged to
Mr. G. E. Tucker. No arrests have
l>een made but every endeavor will be
made to discover the guilty parties.
A Close Shave.
Young Mr. Holcomb, son of Mr.
John Holcomb came near experiencing
a serious if not fatal accident on
the night of the Fourth, while returning
from Lockliart's in a twohorse
vehicle with his sister. Just as
he was about to cross the railroad
near Mr. Win. Munro's residence he
saw a freight train rapidly approaching.
He endeavored to stop the
team b*ut one of the mules bocame
unmanageable and started up the
track. With quick work and a liber~
al applecation of the whip Mr. llolcomb
succeed in cr6ssing the track
just ahead of the rushing train. In
the excitement Miss Ilolcomb dropped
her umbrella. When sho stepped
down to regain it, thero being no
stop on the surray, she fell to the
ground and the team startod causing
the vehicle to*run over her. We are
glad to roport sho was hot injured by
the mishap.

opera house Wednesday night to a faiily
large audience. The majority of the audi*
ence was comi>osed of the fair st*x, who
seemed to be esjiecially delighted with
the lecture, and some of them gave evidence
of the fact, to the Doctor's satisfaction,
no doubt, that tl ey knew how
to laugh. The Doctor is an eloquent
speaker, with a ^wonderful llow of fine
language. lie moves his hearers at will
from tears to laughter. Ilis lecture was
interspersed with funny anecdotes- lie i
believes in laughing. lie commended
the newspapers who devoted a portion of
their spaca to pure, innocent fun.
<4Daugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone."
The lecture which lasted an hour and *
a half was enjoyed by all who beard it. 1
UNION VS. ATLANTA,
The Fourth of July lias toine and
gone, so has the Atlanta team, and
Willie went with'em. Union did them <
up to a turn. A nice sliower had fallen
on the night of the .'Ird and everything 1
was in apple pie order for the great
came that every body's mouth was watering
to see. Atlanta had beat the game
played Monday evening, the score standing
8 to 7. At the beginning of the
ninth itiuina the score stood 7 to 7, Union
was at the hut. She was shut out in
one, two, three order, and Atlanta
stepped in with the determination to do

then they walked in saving they were sat- |
istied. A large crowd witnessed the
eaily morning game, and at tho after- i
noon game the grand stand, bleachers,
and every available space for standing
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
No such crowd has ever before been
seen in Union witnessing a ball game.
The crowd was estimated at SOO, onefourth
of whom were ladies, who were
about as enthusiastic as the men. and
did not mil to applaud an excellant play
made by either side. Union went in to
win from the jump the second day, and
what she did for Atlanta was almost
enough if not a ''plenty." Atthewindc
up or1 toe uiorninK frame the score stood
21 to ! ? in favor of Union, and the crowd
cheered the home team as they had not
been cheeicd since?well since before
"Piedmont" arrived. The Atlanta
laws are chock full of nerve, and they
left the ground with determined faces,

iu tlie evening. They put in their tim-*
practicing in the yard at the Hix House,
and when t lie game was.called at 4 :-'JU
sharp, tliey sprang nimbly to thei. places
amid great cheering from the over
crowded grand stand. The boys are all
stout, manly fellows and in their green
uniforms looked like a hard tepm to
whip. We succeeded in getting in one
run when our lights went out, one, two
three. This began to look squally right
at the start, but our "New-Man" stepped
in the box, l'elt his men with a few balls,
gave his arm an extra swing and like a
camion ball the white message Hew over
the plate. The message was one "ingle
word, that word was "strike." Well,
they just dropped their candy until it
rounded up into a goose egg, second inning
another little round ring, third inning
one run, fourth same goose laid,
tilth iuuiug some rotten playing allowed
three runs to be made in a lump. Our
boys could not stand any of that sort, so
the next four innings was just like they
hadtf t played. Total, four runs. It was
very pretty playing, taken as a whole,
aud we were glad to see that the visiting
team received liberal applause for every
brilliant play they made. They are a
clever set of hoys, if they did strike a
snag in the Union nine, aud we hoi>e to
have the pleasure of crossing bats with
them again. Barring "Willie's" fainting
spells, about the only casualties of the
games were the right fielder in the morning
game ran too far backward and went
a back summersault into the ditch, tried
locale:i tne bail wiib ma feet, mulled it
and let two men in, then they brought
him iii for repairs. lie was soon O K
and ready to go out on his "regular
run." The next and a little more serious
accident was during the sixth inning.
Atlanta's catcher received a very hard
ballon the b.iik of his head, which came
near knocking him senseless. Willi
medical attention, and regular railroad
grit, however, ho was ready for business
when his side went out. Several tine
plajs and some rotten ones were made,
but we lefer you to the otliciai record for
them. It was a glorious Fourth for
Union.
