clubs played in Hunts field last Tuesday
afternoon, and two or three fights took
place that would disgrace the back
alley OF any town. None of the club
boys had any thing to do with it but
some outsiders. Some of the outsiders
from Oxford bought with them large
bottle of whiskey from that whiskey
town. No disturbance would have
been created ifthe Sun club had exclud-
ed young vagabond from the play
ring This disgraceful experience
I should be remembered in future.
D. G. Mccoy started his canning
factory on Wednesday on corn.
His is the only factory running in
this neighborhood. Dull markets do
aot deter him from pursuing the
business. Every branch of business
meets with its seasons of flow baro-
meter" 1t is the steady goer that
makes "the average" tell. Mr.. Nc
Coy is we'll eqipped for the business
with all the most improved machin-
cry. This season the huskers are
paid 2 cents basket for busking.
The annual Changers picnic at Will
liams Grove will begin August 26 and
continue six days. 1t is expected the
display of farm stock, produce and
machinery will be extensive and the
attendance large. Special exhibits
will be made by the State Boards of
Agriculture of Kansas, Nebraska,
Oregon and California.
This annual exhibition is an earnest
of what the Agricultural Fair of the
future will be- The Changers will run
the Agricultural exhibitions and the
horse jockeys the races. The two
have no affinity for each other.

Speaking of bicycles, reminds us of
header" Hanna got a few day ago.
He was coasting down the hill on
Wilson Avenue with feet resting on the
cross bar when big stone in the road
that should not have been there, met
the cycle, or the flying machine met
the stone; at any rate the next moment
Hanna was flying heels over head
that is called header" He fortunate
ly lit on his feet but kept a-tumbling
till four summersaults had been made
before the momentum was exhausted.
The rider was propelled with such
speed that vacuum was created in the
atmosphere, causing small cyclone and
the returning current filled his mouth,
eyes, ears and the pockets ofhis clothes
with dust-no bones broken. These
athletes are very hard ,-especially their
yarns.
The American Telephone ard
Telegraph Company which is build.
ing line from New York to Wash.
ington, have reached Rising Sun.
A gang of their men and teams have
been making Rising Sun their head
quarters this week. The poles used
by tie compady are immense cedars
cut in Canada and railroaded along
the line. Large numbers of poles
have been brought TO Rising Sun and
the company's teams haul and dis
tribute them where they are to be
planted by the line men. The line
will cross the Susquehanna river at
Conowingo. The poles are TO haye
81 wires strung upon them, which
requires the heaviest poles to sus
tain such weight. The line passes
through the Sun on Main Street and
on to Harrisville.

mission. Will Pogue went down to
Elkton few days ago to get the vehi-

not there and also to learn that Mr.
Strickland knew nothing about them.
On further investigation he discovered
