Ed. FREEMAN: Our mining population
is having quite boom in the way of work
the last week as they all say they have
as much as they can do. Some ascribe il
TO the passage of the new tariff law, but
the true reason is that the operators have
! agreed to the demands of the miners in
| this section and the great strike in the
| western portion of Irre state. When the
| strike is settled we presume to saw that
| business in this section will fall back in its
| old groove.
BASE BALL
On Saturnay July 3lst. the Cherry,ree
! team of ball players tackled our home
| team on the grounds of the latter. 1t was
a very interesting game throughout and
was well played by both teams AT the
end of the ninth inning the store stood 2 TO
o in favor of Carrolltown. complete
| shntout for Cherrytree. The game was
| witnessed by an immense crowd of people.
On Sunday, August LIST. the Barnesboro
nine played the CarrolItown nine and at
| the end of the game. which was hotly con
| tested, the score stood 16 TO Is in favor of
| CarrOlltown.
On Thursday last our team played Pat
| ton on the Patton diamond. They did not
! fare well as at home as they suffered
| complete shut out. Their defeat was due
to the fact that only five of the regular
nine played on that dav. The boys are
anxious to redeem themselves aud will try
the Patton boys again.
