surplus; but II is not allowable to denude

At the Bicrcle Park.

The best joke OF the bicycle season
is on George Con, the well known
blind man. George can see little and
goes everywhere and runs errauds for
anyone If he can make uielSle or
dime.
One day last week he went down TO
d. NJ. Workings with wheel barrow
load OF something and when he started
back got on the bicycle track which
runs around by Mr.. Wotring's place.
The track is one.third OF n mile around
and about as wide as the road. George
thought he was on the road back aud
circled around there with his Irish
buggy several times aud wondered why
the road was So much longer coming
back than going down. About the
fourth lap win Wotring discovered
George wheeling around and sweating
like dyed-in-the-wool Republican Mt
the election. win watched the un-
conscious circumnavigator awhile and
after laughing over IL heartily, took
pity on George and decided to head
him off on his next circuit. When
George trundled around again he was
plainly disconnected. He stopped n
minute and batted his off ear to the
sun like mule studying devilment and
looked around like an old gander i'm n
storm, and then started around again.
Seeing that he had plainly lost his
bearings and fearing that he would
run the wheel-barrow down. win
headed him off and steered him on the
right road mp town. George ac-
knOwledges the truth of the story and
says the road back seemed much better,
but lasted longer than going down.

Base Ball Notes.

Base ball is dividing honors with the
bicycle sport and the Kingwood Club
is getting down to business now i'm
good shape. The Climb has been re-
organized and is much stronger than
for some time heretofore. The Club
has a regular organization of twelve
players and Secretary, Treasurer and
Manager. A good Ball Park is furnish
ed by William g. Brown and splendid
uniforms have been ordered for the
Club, from Spalding Bros, of Philadel-
phia, and when the boys make their
debut in full armor, they will look
like Club for sure. The boys had "A
festival last Friday night in the Court
House, which was conducted by the
young ladies in very pleasant and
satisfactory manner. II was the incest,
quietest, little festival ever held in the
town. 1t had not been advertised
much and most of the people did not
know Of IL, but still the proceeds
amounted TO SIC. 80 The young ladies
and all others who contributed TO the
success of the occasion have tho thanks
of the Club for their help and encour-
ment.
Saturday afternoon saw a lively
game at the Park here between King
wood and Tunnelton. The umpires
were James w. White and John Miller,
and the scorers were Will Wotring and
Willie Lavelle 10 was a splendid
afternoon for game and tho playing
was lively all the way through, but
ended in a victory for Kingwood OF 10

| fellows and with more practice will
put up game hard to down. Quite "a
crowd OF rootcrs came down from Tun-
Melton, headed by Col Bill Lavelle. a
return game will be played at Tunnel
ton soon as convenient for both Clubs.

THE WEATHER.
The average temperature Of the week

OF temperature during the first half OF
the week was not great, but after the

terror more rainfall was received In
many sections the total fan during the
week was above the normal Some
hail was reported, but no particular
damage was reported.
About the usual amount OF sunshine

The cooler weather of the past week
has checked somewhat the luxuriant
growth forced by the extreme warmth

Reports upon the wheat crop show
that IL is not heading as well as usual,
and that while what there IS OF the
crop is good, 10 is generally thin and

Corn is growing rapidly and ina some
sections has been cultivated the second
