On Thursday afternoon the jubilant
Salem Jr. Club of Salem arrived at The
home grounds to play u boys a game
of ball, and, we are happy to proclaim,
met with a severe defeat in a seven inn
ing's game.
The game was called at 3.45 p. NJ.
and as first baseman Dole touched the
ball for two bases the battle for victory
began. At the end of the second inn
ing the figures were 2-1 with Penn's
Grove. Then as Chris" Hoffman Of
Bridgeport, the afternoon star, step.
ped into the box wnd Lem Layton went
behind the bat, a steady gain was
maintained over the Salem lads until
the fifth inning when our boys used the
stick 50 effectively as to score nine runs.
1t was indeed a Waterloo for Salem's
jubilants (2) and after thatstley seem
ed to have made up their minds that
after all they were not the only ''dia-
mond chasers" in Jersey.
The local battery, Hoffman and Lay.
ton, was a strong one and the support
given them from from the field was
very able and as Sharp of Salem SEEM
ed to be easy our boys batted out their
victory in seven innings to the tune of
"Penn's Grove! Peun's Grove are We,
W. batted Salem all around, 10 to s."
On Monday, in Salem, the two clubs
will again cross the bats We can but
hope that the visitors viii again score
another victory. THIN SPACE.

We feel it our duty to write of her,
who slumbers peacefully in her silent
grave, her life was so pure and true.
Though we will miss her sadly, it is a
pleasure to know that she has left a
world of care for one where joy reign
eth forever. She was well known and
always regarded us a true follower of
Christ. But this world was not design
ed to be her eternal home and we would
not be so selfish as to wish to keep her
in this turmoil forever. 1t is hard to
know we will see her feebly vending
her way to the house of God no more
and her pew vacant. Her faith was
that of a Christian whose reliance is
the word and love of God. She showed
her faith by her works and when the
summons came to go down into the
dark valley of death, she entered the
shadow land fearlessly trusting that
the Journey Of death was over the path
way that leads to everlasting life.
Farewell mother, for we know eternal
rest is thine.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
winds breath,
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o
Death.

NAMES OF STREETS.
Strenuous Protests Against Changing
Knox Street, East Side.

Strenuous Protests Against Changing
Knox Street, East Side.
The recent discussion in Council over
the embarrassment of having two Knox
streets in Marietta has called out many
public expressions on the question of
changing the names of streets. The
proposed plan of changing the name of
Knox street, East Side, meets objection
on every hand. 1t is argued that when
the city was laid out a mass meeting of
citizens determined that all streets run
ming northeast and southwest should be
named after soldiers of the Revolution
and accordingly the names of Marion
Montgomery, Warren, st Clair, Wash.
ington, Knox, Wooster, SCANNED, Put.
nam, Greene, Wayne, etc, have for a
century been familiar to the citizens OF
Marietta, and there is sentiment sur
rounding them that should not he vio-
lated.
In recent talk we'll known Council
man stated that Knox street (so-called) }
West Side. is in reality Ohio street, as
named while a part of the village of
Harmar, NO ordinance ever having
been passed. to change it, as required by
law. On this ground, an easy adjust
ment OF the dispute would be TO let the
latter go as West Ohio street and not
lake further action in the matter. To
have two Knox streets is certainly an
inconvenience and often confusing.
