"A grand regulation game OF
base ball will take place in Webster,
on Tuesday next between the fat
and lean men of the city. 1t is
understood that no one belonging
to either nine is to do ANYTHING in
the way of practicing until the day
for the game arrives. 1t will be
the most laughable, red-hot game
of ball ever played in Day county.
The following gentlemen comprise
the mines:
FATS.
]. A. Lee, Captain.

John Norton, W. G.. Dickinson, J.

j. b. Prendergast, Thos. Brigham,
j. /. Blake. L. Lawler, Umpire.
After the game is finished the
members of the clubs with their
wives will pertake of u grand BAN
quct.
Pidcock is inquiring around for a
balloon to run the bases with.
The boys insist OH Ed Small and
AL Smith having a red flag attached
to them so they can tell where they
are rafting around the diamond.
Joe Lee has already contracted
for an extension to his pedal ex-
trenches and swears he amt going
to waddle between the bases.
Adams has made arrangements
for a tanning mill in case it is hot
day and is getting his toe nails
sharpencd 10 retard his fearful
speed from point to point on the
diamond.
Sharretts is particularly anxious
about misunderstanding light
ana durable-that will stand an ex-
tended roll between bases.
Mike Tracy was :ulcd off the
lean nine on account of his being
too fat.
DIR. Harris and Il. a. Bones will
mo;e the previous question If the
fats get there.
We will stick up a bushel of iron
dollars that the fats will play the
best game-at the banquet.
If any of the lean nine get hit in
stomach with a ball, we stand ready
to take a lively bet not one of them
can tell whether they have the
stomach or back ache as a result.
Nearly all the fat nine will have
to pair down their feet to be able to
run in the patch around the dia-
mond.
QuETY-when P.dcock gets right
square down and hustles around the
diamond. how much will the atmos-
pheric displacement be to the square
inch. Answer next Tuesday or in
the sweet remotely.
AT the special session Of the
Day County Agricultural Society
last Saturday the bargain for the
grounds of the society was conclu-
lied and it now has a home of it
own. The premium list will be
issued in short time. The societ,
proposes to hold the best fair eyel
given in central Dakota, and to this
end they ask the cooperation of all
the farmers in the county interested
IN our progress, growth and develop
mcnt. Let every one see to it that
he has something to exhibit at our
fair this fall. Its success is assured
If our people generally will do their
part IN the matter. Put your

There is craze among our psrvenu
population for coats of arms orders, titles
and livery. It becomes very ridiculous
when we step back only one generation to
the fathers and mothers of our would be
no bility. These fathers and mothers of
our aristocracy were much more worthy
Of honor in their labors over the washing
or under the hod than are their children
in ransacking books of heraldry to dis
cover some crest or coat of arms which
they can steal or adopt.
In a recent letter mentioned the fact
that the leaders of two of our most aristo-
cratic families sprang from very humble
origin. The grandfather Of one peddled
doughnuts through the streets of New
York from a basket, and the mother Of
the second took in washing at her stage
tavern. Some Of our bonanza kings kept
small liquor stores. One of the million
aires was stable boy, another carried the
hod, and others climbed the ladder Of sue
cess from the humblest of honest occu-
pations. In their coats Of arms these no
bility should make room for the dough nut
couchanJ, or the Currycomb rampant.
Their fathers would have hard work Sc
