The Middlebrook nine went to Greenville
and played there against their nine, and were
beaten little. 1t was then agreed to meet hall
way and play the deciding game. This took
place. or rather was to have taken place, on
saturday last near Bethel Church. A weeks
practice put the Brook" boys in good "Kelter'
to play them. They repaired to the scene of
action accompanied by nearly the whole town;
but when they got there, Greenvllle "Craw-

the match game was not played. In order to

crowd and then have q social game, which
Brook" agreed to, resulting in Greenville get
ting some of Middlebrook's best players, and
Middlebrook getting some of theirs-however,
Middlebrook beat them at that.
From observation, all the cherries, peaches,

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY BY A NATIVE OF THIS
CoUNTY-oRGANIZATIoNo OF FARMERS CLUB
LAMBS AND SHEEP KILLED BY DoGs-PER-
soNAL.
The following was copied from the Weston,
VIVA, Democrat of 18th instant Mr.. Hamrick,
the inven tor, is a native of this county, and a
brother of our esteemed citizen James A.
Hamrick, Esq land Mrs. Ann Mayes of your
city -
"Mr. G. II. Hamrick, of Barbour county. is
likely to become the inventor of one of the
most useful patents known in modern history.
About two months ago, Mr.. Hamrick came to
the West Va. Hospital and asked permission to
test the efficacy Of process for preserving and
embalming dead bodies, which request met
with the appreciation of the Superintendent,
and two cadavers were put under his exclusive
control upon which to experiment, and, on
last Monday, the medical staff of the Hospital.
after thorough investigation of the cadavers,
certified the following statement
West Virginia Hospital for the Insane,
To whom it:rAay concern:
On the l4th day of February. 1888, the Super
Insane delivered to G.. 81. Hamrick two adult
female cadavers to be placed in the morgue of
the aforesaid Hospital for the purpose OF ascer-
could preserve or embalm them. for which he
claims to have method or process. In April
9th, 1888, or IS days after delivery the said
bodies were examined by the Superin tendent
and his associates, and we signify and declare
to the best of our judgment that there is no
decomposition taking place in the cadavers at
the present time. ~

This is certainly grand success already, and
Mr. Hamrick is confident that the process he
employs will embalm as thoroughly as the old,
