The West Nottingham Academy
foot ball team again defeated the
West Grove eleven last Saturday,
on the grounds of the latter, by the
score of 12-1l. The only game the
home team could play was push,
which they were enabled to do by
having reinforced their team with
toughs from the quarries.
Nottingham won the toss, and
West Grove kicked off. Noting
ham secured the ball, and Wiley
made a touchdown from~the first
down, aided by the interference of
the backs. West Grove kicked off
again, and after long gains by
Smith and Wiley, the latter placed
the ball behind West Groves goal
posts. Both goals were kicked.
West Grove made two touchdowns,
but failed at goal. One of their
touchdowns was a gift from the
referee, as the runner was clearly
out of bounds. The timekeeper
considerably extended the time
about fifteen minutes the first half,
and finally called time when Not
tingham got possession of the ball.
The home team knew little of the
rules of the game. They played
off-side constantly, and used their
hands freely. They finally began
to "slug" openly. The spectators
crowded the field, giving the play
ers no room, and kicked and struck
Some of the visiting players as they
were rising from scrimmage. The
Nottingham players left the field
Il few minutes before time was out,
before any one should be seriously
injured. West Grove refused to
pay their guarantee.

mild laxative, and restores the sys-
tenn to its natural vigor. Try
Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker.

that was claimed for them and

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in Tho form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NV
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Kicking without Cause.

That some of the sick soldiers have
been neglected during the recent war
there is no doubt, but because some
regiments have been guilty of such
oversights is no reason why all should
come in for censure. We have seen
several statements recently which
cast reflections on the Second Ken
lucky. We have talked to a great
many in a position to know, and, in
fact, visited the camp not long ago.
The universal opinion of those I'M
prejudiced is that the men of this
regiment are given treatment far
above the average in army service.
Col. Gather is man who will toler-
ate no Sinking of duty, and knowing
him as we do, we feel safe in saying
that no surgeon would dare neglect a
patient in Col. Gathers regiment
AS 4 matter of course, the sick are not
given the nursing they would receive
at home; such n thing is impossible.
A soldier in camp cannot expect to be
fed on all the delicacies of the season.
We would have no object in trying to
cover up any oversight of Col. Gather,
but knowing him to be strict dicipli-
marian, typical soldier and every
inch a gentleman, we dislike to see
statements going the rounds calculated
to place blame on him which in reality
does not exist.

Holidays.

On the nth of this month falls the
Jewish New Year, sos. The meaning
of this day, as described in the Bible,
is 1.-THE Day of Memorials" he Goth
is the DAY of Atonement." On this
day the Jews forgive all the enemies
they may have made during the past
twelve months and spend the day in
prayer for forgiveness of their sins
Mr.. Jacob Joseph, of this city, tells us
that all his people are strict in the Oh
servance of both these days. They
close their places of business and I'M
der no state of case will attend to any
business matter. Mr.. Joseph is one O:
the most Jealous followers of his reli-
