trumpets, picture books, little coats
and pants, and all sorts of pretty
things that all helped to make the
homeless little ones without homes and
friends brighter and happier.
The children of Sandstone Presby-
terrain Sunday school had been led in
a similar way by their kind hearted
advisers and sent in a box filled with
all sorts Of articles for a similar pur-
pose.
The friends Of the needy little ones
at Window and also at Springfield had
done a similar thing.s the boxes from
those places being chiefly filled with
clothing to make their bodies comfort
able-a most important thing in this
wintry weather.
To all of these Kind and thoughtful
friends the officers of the Children's
Home society extend most cordial
thanks in behalf Of the needy little
ones. Some Of the little ones have had
the most valuable gift within the power
of any human being to give, good
home-and the rest of them, from the
tiny tots of a month of age to those of
ten years, are waiting to receive it. In
this connection Supt. Savage, 8G2 New

SECOND BASEBALL GAME.-ALTOGETH-
ERs IA; UNIONS 8.
The first game played between these
teams SO enthused the spectators that
they requested second game, which was
arranged for and played on the same
grounds In Nettleton Hollow on Satur-
day, August u, in the presence OF 8
larger company of spectators than the
week before. All the young ladies tried
to keep score but found it hard work on
account of their anxiety to see their IA
vorite team win. The game was well
played throughout. The fielding was
sharp and clean and the batting, al
though rather light, wac timely. Each
team used two pitchers, Z. Seeley and
L. Nettleton pitching the first seven
innings. Both pitchers for the Unions
lacked control, thereby causing that
teams defeat. 1t ia rather remarkable
that the Altogethers did not secure more
runs for they had 10 men left on bases
and four caught at the home plate.
81. Bronson caught superb game. es-
pecislly when the wild pitching with
which he had to contend is considered.
Knowles also caught finely. lei. Logan,
G. Bronson and Smith played their respec-
tive positions excellently. Seeley and
G. Bronson led the Altogethers at the
bat, while 81. Bronson, Fl. Logan and W.
Nettleton batted we'll for their side. W.

and success. r. M. Hol1ister Of Wood
