Baseball.

:. The first match game of baseball for the
seasonwas played Saturday afternoon by
the Graham and Tazewell clubs. 1t was
played in the field just south of Col. Jos
Harrissons, and was witnessed by large
crowd of ladies, men, and boys. For the
first few innings the game was very close
and nicely played. 1t lookedin the fourth
inning like the Graham boys were going
to be the victors. After that inning the
Tazewell boys forged steadily ahead, and
when the game closed the score stood
10 TO l3 in favor of the Tazewell club.
There was but very little trouble during
the game and everything passed off
pleasantly. The batting was very good,
the pitching excellent, but the fielding
not good. Mr.. G. NJ. Kilby played be-
hind the bat for the Tazewell boys and
made the champion plays. He made a
home run, and made wonderful catch OF
o foul fly.

and have gone out of business write this
in order to correct the error. While it is
true that l have sold my store yet | can be
found at the same old stand, and am better
prepared to serve you than ever before,
and the fact that am not the owner OF
the store at present should make no diff

management not only has more money to
keep a larger and better stock, but with
the assistance of Mr.. Jackson, who s a

Death of Hiram A. Neel.

Our neighborhood, for several miles up
and down this valley, was made sad at 2
o'clock Saturday evening when it was
announced that our friend and brother,
Hiram A. Neel had breathed his last. He
had been afflicted for many years, but not
so great but that be could attend to the
business cares of life until about two
months ago. when his aff1iction seized him
with mightier force and naturally grew
worse until the end came. He was man
that was full of sunshine and lived in the
fear of God. He had made the bible his
study for many years; and the writer does
not hesitate to say, that outside the
ministry, you could hardly find man
that was better acquainted with the blessed
book than Bro Neal. He frequently on
his death bed would make eXhortions to
his friends, urging them to get ready for
the great judgement. And, On! how sad it
is to think that he is gone. Uncle Hiram ,as
we called him, is singing redemptions story,
on the other side of the river, where tears
and parting are no more. The funeral
services were held Sunday afternoon by
Rev. j. T. Taylor, assisted by Rev. W. K.
Neel, there being at least $50 persons pres
ent to pay the last tribute of respect to the
valiant old soldier of Christ. After the
services were concluded his remains were
taken to the place of his boyhood, and
there buried in the old family graveyard,
to await the trumpet call
ga few more struggles here,
few more partings Ger,
A few more tolls, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more"

the county commissioners Of Mercer County
will have to grant the privileges upon the
recommendation of the council. If saloons
