The leads made were as follow
Totals ....-.......... $500. 10

The only comment that we care to make
on the above leads is that in every hand save
one we should have opened the same card as
did Hamilton. That hand is No. 20, from
which we should have led deuce Of dia-
monds instead of the 10. We believe in the
top of nothing leads, but the ten Is too high
card to sacrifice, when 1t is unsupported BY
the nine. In deal As, perhaps the king OF
clubs is slightly preferable to the deuce OF
hearts.

Mckee Heffner Run Over by a Gum

Teams chosen from Company C and Bat
terry played game OF indoor base ball at
the armory last evening, which resulted in a
victory for the former by a score running
up into the thirties. The game was played
merely for practice. however, and the battery
players only took the field in order to give
Company some preliminary work before
its game with Company l, Of Minneapolis,
which takes place In the Mill City Wednesday
evening. Company put up a very good
game, but was at no time called upon to play
its best article OF ball, and for this reason
the contest was somewhat without interest.
At the end OF the fourth inning the score
stood % to against the battery team, clear
ly demonstrating that the men with the red
trimmings on their suits would have been
on more equal footing had the sphere which
they endeavored to corral been a twenty
four-pound cannon ball instead OF the elusive
bundle of leather. The batting of both teams
was decidedly weak while Indifferent fielding
permitted home runs and three-base hits on
almost anything outside of the diamond Not
withstanding the rather uninteresting prog
ress of the innings there was considerable
enthusiasm among the spectators, a large
number of whom occupied the balcony and
seats along the side of the hall. The players
and their positions were.

Limiting the Cotton Crop.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 26.-The
sment looking TO no increase
cotton acreage next year was
zugurated by the Memphis Cot
ton Exchange this afternoon at a
general meeting called for the pur-
pose. The preamble to the resolu-
ton adopted sets forth that large
crop of cotton grown at heavy ex-
ponse brings out little if any larger
total value, contrasting the pres.
Nent with past years to establish the
fact, and adds:
"Another matter for the farmers
toibear in mind is that at the pres.
ent time, when there is o remote
possibility of a war, if such should
occur the inevitable result thereof
would be to depreeiate the value
of cotton and appreciate the value
of all food crops; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Memphis
Cotton Exchange urgently recon.
mends to the producers that the
production of home supplies be
made the first consideration in
planting operations for the coming
year. and that the acreage of cot.
ton be not increased over that ol
last year.

work, and to take up the matter at
the earliest practicable moment,
and urge it again upon the atten-
tion of the cotton producers of the
South.

South be and are hereby requested
to cooperate with this exchange in
this matter, and that the Southern

The Lord Loveth Cheerful Civ.
era Practical Sermon by a
Practical Man.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: On the
thirtieth of December just past
Miss Annie QUITS died, the latter
part of last November her brother
Pinkney died in Texas, also on the
first day of last September her ell
dest brother Willie died. They
were all young and in the prime of
life, yet in four months time that
dreaded disease consumption con-
signed them all to the tomb. Only
a few years ago their father and
mother preceded them to the
grave. O how sad tits that WI ole
family should be stricken down
there being only one, half sister,
Miss Ellen May left.
Hundreds and thousands of the
human race have been called from
time to eternity during the past
year, and. yet we have been spared
to see another new years day. How
thankful we ought to be that we
have been spared to see another
new year, and we should love end
serve the Lord better in the future
than we~have in the past, and
ought to be more thankful to him
for the many blessings he hap be-
slowed upon us from time to time,
both spiritual and temporal, and
not live for self alone, but for the
good of others, and help to bear
their burd MS and encourage then.
spiritually to fight on and never
give up the field to the enemy.
The first and most important
duty we should attend to on earth
is to keep Gods law, and obey all
his commandments, and prepare
ourselves to depart in peace, SC
that when he calls upon us to die,
we will have nothing 10 do but fell
a sleep in the arms of Jesus and he
forever happy throughout the ceas-
less ages of a never-endipg eternl-
ty.
But, again, as we journey along
through life there is another inn
portant duty we owe to our fellow
man that we should perform, and
that is if he be so unfortunate as
to have his house burned or his
horse or mule die, and he he too
poor to replace them, apdlke also
being all honest >aalAid aAid industrious
man, should be assisted by all the
citizeps IN the surrounding country,
a little help from all wou'd hardly
be missed by them, and would do
the poor unfortunates great deal
of good,1 not only in financial
way, but would revive and cheer
him up and enable him t. work
with a light and cheerful heart
with love and gratitude to- his
friends for placing him upon a
solid foundation. Where such
unfortup"3rs 90 ssyg '''st''oN
majority of them never regain
heir losses, and are weighed down
With hard labor and toll and are
,ast down all the days of their
ives. We ought never to turn a
leaf ear to appeals for help in
,uch cases. Remember the Lord
oveth cheerful giver for all good
objects.
