S. had another of its enthusiastic meetings last evening— fifty present. Do you know that the same pic tures that are being shown in the finest treatres in the world can be seen at the Arcade. Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Tyler entertain ed Miss Jannie Burnett and Mr. Boadwee at a lovely dinner on Wea two'game se ries with Brookhaven, it was an nounced today noon by the manage ment of \he local ball club. This is the greatest news ever peddled to the baseball fans of central-south ern Mississippi, and will dr$w to Brookhaven the sport-loving public from Hammond, La., to Jackson and from Natchez to Hattiesburg. Anyone who has witnessed the ma jority of the games played this sea son by the Brookhaven club will im mediately acknowledge that Brook haven has a team superior to any team in the Cotton States League. Many of the fans believe the local team almost equal to the average clubs of the Southern League, and now that this golden glorious op portunity to see the Brookhaven club in action against a Southern league team is given the public, its a safe prediction to say that the park will be filled'as it has never been filled before. The confidence of the players of the Brookhaven team to at least break even with the leaguers in the coming series has caused the fans to believe that the locals will show up fully as well as the visiting leaguers. Monday’s listless ball playing—to give it an euphonious name—Extend ed over to several innings of Tues day’s contest, especially the first frame when the locals sorter took things easy until Flora put over four counters. Neither scrimmage was of the brand to set the grass in center field ablaze. The best thing that can be said about it is that it has been a lesson—or rather a warning —that will prevent the local team from taking any unnecessary liber ties with visiting teams, no matter how weak they may'appear. \ Nothing In the world takes the pep out of players-^-and fans—like go ing into a ocntest with the resfilt as sured—it tends to cause carelessness, with unpleasant errors. At that, there were several bright, yea even brilliant, spots sprinkled throughout both games. Miller, in the first game, hurled splendid ball. He remained on the hill until the game was safely salted away, then Echardt and Barbour exercised their flinging wings for a spell. The out field played infield, Castaing - went behind the bat and Weeks parked himself in the right garden. In the second game both Williams and Taylor pitched steady ball, but numberous errors on both sides—on the Flora side it was mostly errors of judgment, but none the less expen sive—allowed many unearned runs to scamper across the plate. The locals go to Hattiesburg for the week-end for a three game se ries, then return here for a two game series with the Qhftttanooga club of the Southern League Monday dnd Tuesday. 1 • SPORT SPARKS * and ' DIAMOND DUST *---—* ‘/Hit it out, Eckardt, hit it out”, pleaded a frenzied feminine fan at Tuesday's game when Eric came to bat with the paths clogged with Brookhdven runners. "Yes, you’d better do your hitting now” suggest ed another soft voiced fannette, “for you’re going to be married Wednes day, and after that the wife will, do most of the hitting in your family— with a rolling pin.” Cupit made a sensational nab of Smith’s long drive to right in Tues day’s game when he raced back to wards the fence and pulled down what looked like a three-bagger bill ed through the fence. Cupit was running full speed away from the grandstand when he reached up and speared the ball with the tip of his fingers. The runner went on to sec end base, thinking the hit was a safe one, and the umps had to explain that Cupit made the putout. The first negro games of the sea son will be played on the home lot rhursday and Friday, while the Brookhaven boys are in Hattiesburg. 1’he black boys always play sensa tional ball, arid a game between two negro teams carries more jazz and pep than is found in a panful of Mexican tamales. The caustic com ments from friend and foe in the grandstand is better 4han a vaude ville show. There will be reserve sections for the white patrons at tending these games Thursday and Friday. There is not a better first-sacker In any of the big top line-ups than Ham Fish.” Once in two whiles Man ager Ham will perpetrate an error— all of ’em do it—but taken by and large, his work is so doggone good that he makes the most difficult chances look tame. _As a performer :>H. the paths, Ham Is certainly the class of any players below major leagues. His success as a manager Is not to be wondered at; for he knows baseball, 41kes his players and the players like him. A combination that will win in any league. - - NOEFELD NEWS.' ¥-m—----* Miss Jessie Burt left Monday, June 12, to spend some time with her brother, Clifton, in Baton Rouge.

The blaze was first discovered in the home of Sam Harve^on, and quickly spread to an adjoining house occupied by John Britt, negro, and conducted as a hoarding house. When the fire department reached the scene the Haverston home was a solid mass of flames and the other building a flre all along the cojnb of the roof and along the side next to Harves ton’s house. Efforts to save the Britt home proved futile. Nothing at all was saved from either place. Acording to Mr. Haverston, who with his wife and two children have lived in Brookhaven for several years, the Are was first discovered in the top of the building between the roof and 'the overhead ceiling. By the time an alarm could be turned in the entire top of the house was blazing. The loss of both buildings will to tal, according to an estimated made by the fire chief, around t*,500 with $250.00 insurance onJ|e Britt home and only $500 on th™home of Mr. Harveston. LATE PLANTED CORN. * f *-* Some farmers are asking if it , is too late to plant corn. Experiments and experience both say no. Many farmers have gotten excellent yields when they planted as late as the 1st sf July. Experiments at the Missis sippi A. & M. College and at the Alabama Experiment station show hat plantings made as late as June 25th produced fair returns. The land should be well plowed and harrowed before planting and if this is done, weeds and grass do not nterfere with the growing crop as hey do with early plantings. Late planted corn should be put ieeper in the soil especially if the and is stubble and dry to secure prompt germination. The corn may je covered deeply and the surface iarrowed off just before it comes up. When the land is treated in this way. the corn plants come up in a :lean surface „ and do not require )arly working. It is observed that late planted -orn suffers more from smut, rust, ind roasting ear worms than early )lantings but they are not damaged rom corn weevils to the same de cree. Late plantings or corn respond to fertilizers. When the corn is plant ed, an application of 100 pounds of icid phosphate and 50 pounds of nl- * rate of soda per acre put in the drill ir mixed with the sail at planting Lime will hurry up the crop greatly. [TT V. _ _ 4L.' _ 1_A __ A . A . " v“v *» 731 iu o icci nigh 75 or 100 pounds more of nt ;rate or its equivalent should be ap plied to the corn as a side dressing. VARIETIES TO PLANT.
