Amateur B. B. at Elliotts.
ELL1o1Ts, June Is, 's4.

ELLIoTTS, June -, "a.
On the Is instant the Leans and Fats Of
Elliotts played match game of ball. Seve'
raj of the players on both FINES had never
played ball before, and they did remarkably
we'll for their first effort. The following Is
the batting order of each nine:
Fats.-Skinner, p; Summers, c.; Coroett,
g. g.; Mccoy, l. f.: Josey, D.; Hancock,
b.; McCoy, r. f.; .McKagen, C. f.; Player,
2b.
Leans b.. !; Law, c.; Baker, J.
+. Green. 2 b.; D. Mathis, p; Neeley, r.. +. (;
Mathis, jr., 8. g.; Anderson, D.; ". Matnis'
c. f.
The game seemed to be all one way up to
the ending of the fifth inning, the score
standing to Is, IN favor OF the Fats, out IN
the sixth aud seventh innings, they failed TO
score and the Leans went to the bat, making
two runs in sixth and six in the seventh,
making the score even. In the eighth the
Fats made FIVE runs, while the Leans made only
one. This left the score l6;to 20. In the ninth
the Slim boys got three men on bases, and it
looked as ifathey would fail TO score. But
the spectators on the bleachers went wild
when Neeiey, who had never played game
OF ball before, went to the bat and made a
safe hit for two bases, and brought two men
in, and making two more runs in this inn
ing, tied the score again. And when the
Fats went to the bat for tie last time and two
mes were pu: out withoas scoring, it looked
as if the game would be draw; but they
made one run, leaving the score 20 to 81 in
favor of the Fats. Every one present ex-
pressed themselves as enjoying the game, and
requested that the same mines play another
game, which they consented to do on the 4th
July. The Leans are not satisfied, and are
conf dent: that they can whip their corpulent
antagonists. The aggregate weights0 the
Leans was l,l40 pounds, and that of the
Fats 1850 pounds. SPECTATOR.

*Partly Cloudy.

Atmosphere smoky and very hazy, obscur-

very dry, everything, even cotton is wanting
rain.
The condition Of the atmosphere for the past
ten days or more has been very hazy from
dust and smoke, the sun on some days having
been dimned to great extent. On the 18th
q thunder storm late in the afternoon brought
a high wind from NEE raising clouds of
dust but only sprinkle OF rain. The clouds
which for the past month have been moving
from north, now are coming from west, a
change favorable for rain, though the barom-
ater still is high.

America until after the next election.
You know it takes long while for the
moIoponsts TO get over their ''scare."
And then who knows but that the re-

wait awhile, the good times will get
here; all that is required is patience.
just vote the republican ticket and
smack your lips In fond expectation.
You are without clothes and food per-
haps, and your family at staryati0n's

should be ready and willing to sacrlhce

don't bother yourself about the finan

delegates the power of issuing green
