between the Meeker and Craig teams,
came off rs per announcement on Satur-
day afternoon last, and resulted, as an
ticipated, in favor of Craig by a score of
to .. In fact, Meeker wasn't strictly
in it at any time after the first inning.
The Craig nine out-played Meeker at
every point and won hands down."
Craig was represented on the field by
the following nine:
Chas. Gregory. catcher; Chas. Ranney,
pitcher; Bert Garrett, first base; John
States, second; Fred Hartzell, third;
John McKeever, 8. $; Amos Bennett,

Logan b. Crawford of Steamboat

was thought that he leaned toward
Craig in tight places, it was generally
conceded that he aimed to be fair He
is young man of gentlemanly bearing
and holds the position of assessor of
Routt county.
No date for the next game has been
set, as Meeker will await the return of
Rube Ball (whose absence greatly weak
ened the team before setting the day,
but two more games, at least, will be
played, Notwithstanding the fact that
the home nine stands mighty fair
chance OF being downed in each one of
them
Craig has a good all-round team. and
their movements on the diamond show
that they have practiced and have the
art or playing together down fine. This
much cannot be said of the home nine,
as harmony and team work on their
part were noticeably absent last Satur-
day.
The disastrous outcome of the first
game between Meeker and Craig has
aroused the former to the necessity of
having regularly organized base ball
was held at the stage office Monday
evening with this end in view. and was
well attended by lovers of the great
national game. The meeting resulted
in the formation of a permanent organi-
zation to be known as the Meeker Base
Ball association, with w. ii. Clark, as
president; f. w. ii. Pfeiffer, secretary,
and y. l.. Woloh, trooouror. M q
Walden was elected temporary captain,
it being understood that Rube Ball will
fill that position after his return from
the South. The three officers above
mentioned will act as an executive
board and will have full charge of all
club affairs OF the field. a committee
of three, with Herman Pfeiifer at their
head, was appointed to draft constitu-
tion and bylaws, which will be pre-
sented at next meeting.
Much enthusiasm prevailed and it
was the general opinion that Meeker
should be represented in the next CON
test by as strong a team as it is pos
sible to put in the field, and all who
want to see this town make q showing
in the games to come are invited to join
the association Just formed and help the
cause with their financial and moral
support.

The question of road construc-
ton is being made the subject otins
vestigation by the United States
Agricultural Department, under the
direction of Gen. Roy Stone as
special agent, and a bulletin is soon
TO be issued giving the chief feat
ures of the road laws in fourteen
States. Road legislation, General
Stone will say in this bulletin, ''is
proceeding on ten distinct lines,
varying from more rigid operation.
of the old system to the direct build.
ing of State roads. Tennessee gives
the County Courts full power and
direct control over roads and eli
inmates local politics and prevailing
easy going methods. The courts
classify the roads, establish dis
tricts, appoint commissioners and
assess road taxes. Vermont, New
Hampshire, North Dakota and Ore
gon increase tax leyies for roads;
the latter State allows County
Courts to levy special tax of so
cents on the 500 and 50 per head
for county road fund. New Jersey
absolutely abolishes the payment of
road taxes in labor and theabolition
is almost absolute in Wisconsin. In
Oregon, Indiana and by special acts
in Ohio local assessment applies to
construction for three mile limit
each side of the road. In Oregon
the county may assume half the
cost, and in Ohio a large share is
assessed upon the county. InPenn-
sylyania and New Jersey much
work has been done by townships
and by township bonds. The issue
of county bonds is provided for in
New York, New Jersey, Indiana,
Michigan and Washington; but in
the two latter States popular vote
is required to authorize the issue"
From the foregoing itwould seem
that there is glorious prospect of
the government taking strong and
lasting hold of the road question.
Speed the dayl That way we
might hope for good roads in West
Virginia.

BE LOYAL To Your Own TowN.-
Judge Christian, President of the
Richmond Chamber of Commerce,
made a splendid speech at the open
ing of the Chambers new building
a few days ago. Some of the
Judges remarks are just as appli-
cable to Point Pleasant as they
were to Richmond We commend
them to the consideration of our
people. Here they are:
"Be loyal to your city, not only
by your conduct in patronizing our
home people whenever they can
serve you, but in your conversation
at any and all times. 1t is the bab-
it of some people to have their
clothes and their shoes and their
families clothes and shoes made or
purchased in other cities, and they
do SO because they allege they can't
find what they want here. The
reason they don't find what they
want here is because they don't or
der what they need here, and only
for this reason. The people who
live and do business here patronize
US, and they have the right to ex
pect us to patronize them as far as
they can serve us properly. But
again, never decry or abuse your
city under any circumstances, but
talk for it all the time"

Next to the question of good
schools, people who are seeking
new locations, generally feel the
most interest in knowing about
churches. Families that would be
an acquisition to this community,
or any other, are usually solicitious :
first if the place to which they think
of removing has good schools for the
children, and second, churches and
church privileges for all members.
Point Pleasant has unusually good
advantages in both these directions.
We have two Methodist churches.
two Presbyterian churches and one
Episcopal church, and as good a
school as can be found in the State,
provided with all modern improve
ments. So people who desire to
locate in our town soon, destined to
be the best and most fourishing
town on the Ohio or Kanawha riv-
ers, need have no fears of settling
amongst us.

In another column will be found
some indisputable facts and figures
from a correspondent in the Wheel
ing Register in regard to the panic
of 1873, when the country was un-
der Republican protective tariff
and everything was booming in
genuine Republican fashion, until
the bottom dropped out, suddenly
and without warning, and precipi-
tated a panic the like of which the
country had never known; and all
this under that greatest of all bless
ings Ga Republican high protec-
tive tariff He compares the con-
ditions of that panic with the bust
ness depression of 1893, and comes
to the logical conclusion that SINH
lar conditions have produced SINH
lar results-that is to say, that high
protection and other vicious Re-
publican Legislation has been and is
now, for that matter, bearing it's
bitter and inevitable fruits. The
article is earnestly commended to
the perusal of all our readers.
OBITUARY.-The subject of this
sketch, NJ G. Beckner, died at his
home on Cherry Fork, of Eighteen
Mile Creek, December 21st, 1893, OF
dropsy, after an illness of seven
weeks. He had attained the vener.
able age of Y years, but neither
medical skill nor the untiring nurs-
ing of a devoted wife could avail,
and the relentless destroyer, with
unerring aim severed the slender
thread that bound him to life. He
was an honest, upright man, faith
tul, sincere friend, . kind, indnI
gent father, and loving devoted
husband. He was consistent men,
Der of the Baptist Church for a
number of years, and died, as he
had lived, revered and esteemed by
all who knew him. For the last
three years he had been foreman on
the staye yard of d. G. Courtney,
and discharged his duty in a most
conscientious manner. He leaves q
devoted wife and five children TO
mourn his loss, besides a host OF
friends whose expressions of sorrow
are sincere, and who extend to the
bereaved family their t-felt
sympathy. May a higher Power
bind the broken spirit and heal the
bleeding heart of that loved com.
panion who can only say,
Though lost to sight, to memory dear. /"
