Gottttiy'8 five-flving Confederate Veterans, Andrew J. Currie, Alexander McMillan, William John McCraney, John W. McLauchlin, W. G. Johnson were present. Camp Lamb U. C. V, was organized in the summer of 1912 with fiity six members, and these only remain. After the close of the exercises la the school aaditorium.^tbe U D. C. bad as their especial guests the Confederate Veterans, three widows of Confederate Veterans and several others to whom invl tatlons were extended, to a most •umptuous repast served in t he undercroft of the Preabyterlau church. It was a most splendid mealiand without reftectinn upon any, we think the Old Boys and (iirls of tne sixties made up for ail dedcieucies df their earlier exlstances; and us to this later itsue, we oniv say that Starr McMillan was our lefthand man and Sheriff Hall a close second. P itor Trawick Sick. Rev. W. F. Trawick, the be loved pastor of Raeford and Par ker's Grove Methodist churches, was taken quite ill with appen dicitis last Friday night, and was carried to Highsmith hospi tal for treatment directly. He was not operated on (and is reported as doing well.. AGAIN raeford WINS. It was a close game up to the nlnetb inning, when Raeford laid down a barage of hits and scored five runs before Laurin- burg could negotiate a peace par ley or do much else but bring the ball back from distant climes, and when they were presented with an opportunity to retaliate, at McNelH’s suggection the first timidly whiffed the ozone and mildly retired The final scoro was Raeford 12; Laurinburg 6 The score at the close of the 8th inning was Raeford 7; Laurin- burg 6, anybody's game to the average guesser, but soon all doubt as to whose game that was was settled bv a rap-tap-ticky- tacky-too played with baseball bats in the bands of Raeford high school sluggers, the best battinfif team in the state, as we bet the team batting average for this season will show. The boys discomforted Laur- Inburg last Thursday afternoon in Red Springs On Tuesday afternoon Rae ford highs met New Bern highs on the local field and licked ’em 6 to 1, and New Bern did not earn that lone tally. McNeill made wild pitch with a man on third and be managed to score in the third inning The visitors did not even threaten to score aTter that. Only one,game stands between our team and the Fiasteru North Carollua championship! only two games between them and the State Championship, and a team Iti out of 18 games ptkyed *hOTFa^ chance, and had some misfortune and mumps to handicap them, certainly has at least a iook-in Here’s hoping Raeford High School Base Ball Are The Next State Champions.
