A picked nine from Hickory Valley and
Grand Junction and the Bolivar Blues
played match game Of base ball on the
Blues ground In Bolivar last Thursday
which resulted in favor Of the visitors By
score Of 81 70 z.
During the game Of base ball between
the Hickory Valley and Bolivar clubs last
Thursday, Mr.. Hermon Meyerheim Of Boil
ivar, who has catching for the Bolivar boys
received a severe lick over the eye BY the
ball. He was confined TO his room for sew
ersl days but is better now. If the lick had
been on the aKid'S" cheek the damage would
not have been very great. but as it was the
wound was quite painful.
A young gent Of our acquaintance whose
sweetheart attended school in distant city
the last term, slipped OF Ostensibly to visit
a neighboring town. but in fact to go TO the
city and accompany his fair one home.
Imagine his disgust when he reached the
city to find that the principal of the school
had chartered a car for the young ladies
coming this way, and when he attempted to
enter the portal" said "nay." He was
permitted 10 ride in front car to within
few miles of home, where the young lady
left the chartered car and he had the pleas
ure of riding only few moments with her.
He has never "given himself away" but it
was too good, the girls told it.
The Enterprise Laundy of Jackson is now
under full Roadway, and is turning out work
equal to any city. They have lady of ex-
Perience from st. Louis in charge OF the
ladies department. The prOprietors desire
TO say the people OF Bolivar, and especially
the ladies, that they make specially Of
fine work on short notice, and at reasonable
prices. They solicit a sample order of fine
dresser or skirts, and are confident that one
order will lead to many more. Give the
Enterprise Laundry trial and save money
by having your white clothes properly
done up instead Of "dabbled out" Express
charges paid on all clothes one way.
The Glasgow Normal School, of Glasgow,
KY, will after Aug. LIST be renewed 20 Bow
ling Green, KY, and the name will be
changed to the Southern Normal School and
Business College. This step has boen neces-
STATED by the liberal patronage the school
hAA enjoyed. At Bowling Green, large and
more suitible buildings have been secured
and the point is more central. The name is
changed in justice to the pupils of the school,
as they are principally from the South and
West. The school will be under the same
faculty, and we bespeak for it liberal pat
ronage from those of our young men who
desire thorough business education. See
the card elsewhere in the Bulletin.
In another celum of this issue will be
found an announcement Of the opening Of
fall term Of ClOver-POrt Academy. This
excellent institute was established in 1873
with T. A. Futrall, A. NJ, as principal and
has been in successful operation for eleven
consecutive years. We are informsd that
ISIS pupils were enrolled during the scho.
lastic year which closed May I'd, 1884. No
other school la the state located in quiet
village away from any railroad station has
had so wide an area of patronage as the
Clover-Port Academy. About four year,
ago this school was chartered and no intox.
icating liquors have been sold within tour
miles of the institution since the charter
was granted. a number of young men have
recently formed messing" club which re-
duces the price of board TO $3.50 per month
