York and Chester.
The Yorkville baseball team went
down to Chester last Friday and gave
the Chester boys a good trouncing.
The score was 81 to 16. From the

ever is explained by the unsuitable
character of the ground on which it
was played.

Out at Piedmont Springs.

have already tried it, are going out to
Piedmont Springs again this summer.

fine, the surroundings are delightful
and the expenses are nominal. A
furnished room can be had for only
one dollar a week, and the price of
table board is in proportion. The
comforts and conveniences generally
at the springs are much. better now
than they have been heretofore.
