most successful and enjoyable occa-
sions of the kind in the history of

pleasant. The older folks as we'll as
the little ones had splendid time"
even if they were little sore next
day from the effects of over-exertion
in swinging.
AS Sammy Thompson, one of our
most energetic young business men,
was crossing the suspension bridge
Monday evening he was accosted by

ris is worthless negro who if he

The G. M. John base ball club was
organized last week and sent chal-
lenge to the Waynesburg nine for a
game at that place on Saturday Au-
gust 1st. The club which is COM
posed of the best players in town,
outside of the Rough and Readys, is
having handsome suits made. Mr.
John for whom it was named will
furnish part of the suits at his own
expense and the remainder at whole
sale prices. If the Waynesburgers
accept the challenge Mr.John will ac-
company the club and the game will
be called Immediately after he sings
tootsy wootsy. During the game he
will accept all bets offered and dis
tribute peanuts among the ladies.
A LARGE force Of men is at work
grading and widening Long Alley
from Bumbo Lane to Wiley street.
The lot owners having given the
ground to the town this long needed
improvement will be made at small
outlay of money. The old bark house
at the KigeI tannery and the stables
on the John and Price lots are the
only buildings that would have to
be moved in order to widen the Alley
from Bumbo Lane to Walnut street
and the property owners will NO
doubt see the wisdom in giving the
ground for that purpose as they will
then have good building lots to place
on the market. 1t is only question
of time until Long Alley becomes a
residence street.

Fayette club and the r. q r. Mr.
King said that about two hundred
Fayette City people desired to come
up on an excursion and they would
like a game of ball which would form
source of amusement as we'll as gt
towards paying expenses. 1t remains
gentlemen of the r. & RS for you tt
show that old time Virginia hospital
ity is not on the wane, and get your
selves in shape to entertain our visi
tors. There is no fence around thu
ball park but neat sum can never
theless be taken in by stretching
ropes around the ground.
