The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman TOLLS
man was made happy on Sunday last through
the advent of little girl. Mother and baby
are reported as doing nicely.

city, came down to spend Sunday with his
family in town.
Work here with the Syenite Company still
continues to a small extent.
The tOne-cutters at Schneider & Co.'s
have been out of work for a week again. 1t
is thought they will resume work day,
and yet it is rumored that they will not start
any more this month.
The base ball game on Sunday last between
the Graniteville Browns and the Ironton
colored nine was largely attended, but the
game, after the third inning, was devoid of
all interest, as the Ironton nine were "not in
it" rs they only secured two runs, while the
Browns secured II. Score Is to 10 in favor
of the home team. The more interesting
parts of the 1ronton's were the funny
work and muffing of lots of balls by" Windy,"
as they called him. Although one of them,
as did one of our boys, score a homer, amid
great applause. The beauties of the game
were good order and square umpiring. The
colored nine were highly elated, notwith-
standing the fearful drubbing received, but
over the set up, as our boys gave them a
"keg," and it was from this that they were
very much pleased, and, after the foamy
liquid had disappeared, they wendell their
way Irontonward IS merry as merry could
be. Mr.. Joe Dubecker received q very bad
blow in the face caused by foul tip, but
nothing serious it is hoped.
The coming event of the season, perhaps,
will be the big Labor Day Picnic to be given
by the Granite Cutters of this place ON Labor
Day, September It'll, at Kerchner's Park.
The Graniteyille Brass Band will furnish the
music, and, rs there are to be all sorts of
games and other interesting amusements, it
Is safe to predict one of the biggest times
that have been seen in Granitevllle for many
aday, and as it is a Labor Day event and the
first in Southeast Missouri of the kind, no
doubt, If the weather permitting, grand
affair in every particular will De the result.
The committee on arrangements are all
"hustlers," so to speak, and will spare NO
time and means to have everything in perfect
shape and good working order.
Our livery stable men, Messrs. Foley and
O'Brien, have, we see, more company in
their line of business In the person of Mr.. C.
Oesterle of Middlebrook. Let 'em come;
the more hacks and buggies the cheaper the
ride, or at least it should be, but we hardly
think the new line will cut very deep in the
old reliable firm Of F. & OBJ. TYRO.
