Holly Grove basket ball team met Jackson High School basket hall team on the Jackson court Saturday, Mar. 11th. A good game was played by Jackson players considering the fierce March winds which hindered both 'teams from demonstrating their best playing. The score was 16 to 6 in the "Jack's" favor. The second game was scheduled for Thursday, March 16th to be played on the Holly Grove court. A very large crowd of the Holly Grove com munity citixens were gathered around the court to see the game. They were sadly disappointed by the Jark son boys failing to show up at all. Investigations were made by the Holly Grove manager. He made jthe Jackson manager a two-fold offer; Ms first offer was to play the second game the fdllowing week-end on the Holly Grove court, and then if neces sary to arrange the third game on a neutral court. His second offer was to let the second game remain a for feit game as H was, and play the third game on a neutral court. The Jackson manager chose the secdnd offer leaving Holly Grove a victory of 2 to 0 for the second game. The third game was played on a neutral court at Creaksvilfce March 29th. In the beginning of the game the "Jacks" took the lead in scoring by violating the rule for running with the ball. But the Holly Grove "grades" in spite of the running "Jacks" retained the same old pep and grit that always exists while they are playing and caged enough field goals to bring the score within one point of the "Jacks" at the end of the first half. The score being 17 to 18. During the second half the "Grades" gained the lead in scoring and held it by a small margin until the time keeper blew his whistle for time out. The final score was 30 to 2 in favor of the grades. Stars for the grades were G. Vann and G. Revelle. Stars for Jackson were Selden and Stephenson.

I have already taken charge of the office under my new commission, and shall try to serve you even better in the future than 1 have in the past. I am not going to run a political post office, or show special favors, but am going to try to give honest service to all alike. I am going to try to improve the rural free delivery ser vice and have village delivery of mail established in town. 1 now enter into this work with no hard feelings toward anyone, while it is very true that some of the people that I i .thought were my very best friends, proved to be no friend at all; while others that I thought would be my worst enemies, turned out to be my most loyal friends; the friendly smiles i have been cherished, and the enemy's frowns forgotten, I freely forgive ; them all, and am going to try to i treat them in such a way that they ? will be compelled to forgive me. The false reports so current on our streets i are no cause for alarm. They are not ; fostered by the best people of the . town and have not got enough truth i in them to live; they are doomed to r die. Yours for better service, A. T. WILLOUGHBY, Postmaster. j % ?
