The third game of the ball team was
played at Newport June 18th against the
Newport Center team, and resulted in
score of % to 3 in favor of our boys. Their
opponents used the material of four differ
ent Stowns to help them and then could
not twin out. 1t was like Dewey before
Manila-they simply were not in it and
could not find the ball when hits would
count. The boys have some good material
here now and we hope the citizens will
encourage and help them. The battery
work of Guild and Walker was excellent.

Let Newport and Barton boast no more
of smart men for we have smart woman
here that wishes her own sex to share in
such praise when they deserve it. A few
days since this woman went away with
her team strawberrying. When she ar
rived at her destination the man of the
house put up her horse. When she got
ready to return, as the man was away, SIZE
went to the barn, hitched the horse to the
buggy and drove home. AS she drove up
to the door her husband asked ''where did
you get that hcrse?" Of course this smart
woman said ''what a question, it is our
horse.'' He replied in most decided
manner lit is not our horse or our har-
ness either.'' It proved he was right and
she had indeed make grand mistake and
drove another mans horse home. Now
every one please give her all the credit she
merits for being SO exceedingly smart.
