Yep, Its the same old story, three more games kicked ott to the other •Ide ot the column. The first one was lost In an overtime game at Car¬ ml on thursday evening, when Sim¬ mons. Blotter and Bestow, reinforc¬ ed -with Smith, Ooldsby and Pittman, ¦ dropped one by a score ot 30 to 27. The remainder of the first team was kept at home to be fresh tor the Lawrencevllle game on Friday night This clash was lost by a score of 81 to 17. The third game was lost •t Oblong on Saturlay evening by * count of 3 to 22. Possibly the reason no more games were lost was because Saturday ended the week. Carml Game one of "Them Things" The gang had Carml beaten a mile and should never have lost the game bnt some one eot tired In the tlnal qnarter when Flora was ahead 19 to 11. and let Carml make 13 points, tying the score at 24 all Flora hav¬ ing ma'Oe 5 oolnts In the meantime. In the oTertfme session Cayml hoop- •d in 6 points to Flora's 3 and won the game.

ANNX'AL BOOK SHOWER
The annual hook shower at Lib¬ rary hall Wednesday evening follow¬ ed with air entertainment by home talent was creditable In every part and pleasing to tbe large crowd in at¬ tendance. Over one hundred new- books were donatet^ which makes a valuable addition to the large col¬ lection purchased' and donated In former years, n6w numbering more than a half centyry. Our library is growing in favor''each year and de- servely soiand is a credit to our town.        '

From that association of long ago sprang a friendship which has con¬ tinued until the taking away of "Charlie", but which win exi.st untiil we shall meet again.
We were happy to have been in¬ timately associated with- "Charlie" duving the.past two years and found him, as ot yore, the same Intensely' loyal workman. No one of the of¬ fice force conid work alongside thi^ dean of the craft and fall to become Impressed by his apniable disposition and spirit. He was a real man and his departure caused deep regret ntnong every one ponnected with the Jdumal-Record.   ''
His career flnfshed, we oan now pause and take a retrospective view of this noble soul who now stands "Juptitled" before the- throne of the Qteai King, as well as in the hearts ot his friends nnd associates.

IN FIRST IliAME AT TOURNEY,
Draws Probably the Hardest Oppon¬ ent for OiuBe Friday Morning
Drawings for the district tourna¬ ment at Olney on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week, were re- jeevled here on Monday and disclos¬ ed that Flora has drawn about the hardest possfble schedule as she taieets Olney In the first game on Fri¬ day morning and if successful must play the winner ot the Casey-Newton game that night. Casey will doubt¬ less beat Newton and Casey and Ol- bey, together with Flora are picked as the strongest teams In Class A, and to beat both Olney and Casey in one day would me^n the expending of a lot of "tight". Shonid Flora win these Uwo games she should have no trouble fn winning from either Fairfield, Effingham or Albion In the semi-finals.
The pnly ray of hope in the entire dope book fs that Flora will be forced to play her strongest opponents in (he early games and should have an easy game in the semi-finals tt for¬ tunate enough to get that far In the tournament.. ',
