the sheriff to summon the several town
ship trustees TO appear and prepare a
new jury list from the tax-rolls of 1884.
That was accordingly done, and on
Tuesday, Sth inst, the county clerk.

w. r G. societies, and win be held at the
school house on Saturday afternoon, Aug.
6, at 2 P. n, standard time. The public
are cordially invited to join in praising
him whom anation delighted to honor"
The ladies have draped the building for
the occasion, and one has been chosen to
address the meeting, who was in Gen.
Grants command during the war, and
therefore he can give personal reminis-
cences.
The Wa-Keeney base ball club, while
they gained the game last Friday, did not
carry home as great honors as they had
anticipated, they having expected a result
similar to the score of the game at Wa
Keeney. In some respects they lost
much, as the ladies present had expected
from representatives of our county seat
language OF q more refined nature than
some they were obliged to hear. It
would be good idea for a few members
Of that club to learn some adjectiyes
which would express their excited feelings
on such occasions, or else give notice that
their games are best seen through tele-
scope. The score of the game we give
below, for which F. B. Strong, of Buffalo
Park, acted as umpire:
