A VISIT


Erata, Miss, May 4, 1901.
On April the 23rd, we started
through the country toward Leakes-
vile. The scenes along the way were
varied and attractive. Occasionally
farm house might be seen, some Of
which were modern in appearance.
Everywhere evidences Of happiness
and prosperity predominated.
Again nothing could be seen except
tracts of beautiful timber land which
would have become monotonous had
not herds of cattle and other animals
passed over rendering change.
After a two days journey we ar
rived at Leakesville and spent the
night at the hospitable home of DR..
Pool He is a gentleman for one to
know is to admire. At present, he is
interested in bee culture and l think
might be termed successful in his in
dustry. Our stay with the doctor was
indeed pleasant. From there we came
down town and met a number Of
Leakesville good citizens and found
them to be whole-souled big hearted
gentlemen.
They are soon to have a railroad
which will aid in building up their
town. They already have a steamer
and with these two means of trans
portation Leakesivlle will in all
probability become one of the most
fourishing towns in our state. Espe-
cially when the beautiful locality and
almost inexhaustible resources of sur
rounding country are considered.
We had pleasant sojourn in that
vicinity after which our journey was
resumed across the river towards
Vernal visiting friends and relatives
along the wayside. That part Of the
trip was one of the most enjoyable
experiences of the stay. Finding a
welcome everywhere and Jared sump-
tuously with all. Finally the pretty
village of Vernal was reached. The
business and public part is small, as
it consists of a mill, store, postofice,
school ard last, but by no means
least, church. The people seemed
very much interested in education.
They have a good school with Rev.
A. G.Fergason as principal and saw
evidences of a good work being done
along that line. Miss Bufkin, an ac-
oomplished young lady, is music
teacher and her pupils merits her
work, as they entertain friends
with music. | also visit
ed the mineral springs while in that
portion of Greene and partook of the
water which is said to possess valu-
able medical properties.
After spending seven days in
Greene county we came home feeling
that the people we met with were as
kind and hospitable as any that we
ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Harris Team Defeated,

1t is seldom that n base ball game
in West Scranton attracts much at
tention. but when a ccntcst is ar
ranged such as was played on the
Browns grounds Saturday afternoon
it is reasonable to expect that there
will be more than "A handful of specta-
tors. The game attracted an un-
usually large crowd. prominent
among whom We're business and pro-
fesisonal men and old-time lovers oi
the national game.
Little Johnnie" Howell was re-
sponsilJa for the game, and when vic
tory perched on his banner there was
great rejoicing among his players and
friends. The contest was the result
of an argument over the relative SUI
I.remacy of players residing north
end south of Washhurn street. and
when the lineup was announced.
some very formidable talent appeared
on the field.
Behind the bat was "Beatty" Will
liamS. of Princeton fame. who caught
in his old-time form. In the box was
Leo CrOssn. the pianist. who can
manipulate the sphere as handiy as
he plays the piano. At the short
field "Sroozer" Jones displayed his
talent by accepting nearly everything
that came his way. David Owens
played first base in excellent style,
and Sonny" Edwards chased the
leather in center field.
Frank Reese and Billy Jameson
each distinguished themselves by
striking out four times out of five at
bat. while jack Lloyd put up rn-
markably clever game at second and
batted like IL ficnd. Teddy Thayer
was on first base for the opposing
team. and "Billy" Gallagher played a
nice game despite the fact that he
had a narrow escape from serious in
jury by striking his head against
stone.
Crossin's pitching and batting was
the featur" "f the game. having five
hits striking out eleven men. and al
lowing but six hits. He also accepted
six fielding chances during the game.
The game was we'll contested, up T."
the seventh inning. when tho Harris
team went to pieces and allowed six
runs on two hits. three bases on
balls and an error. The seventh in
ming WAS repetition of the sixth.
The detailed score. as near as posi-
bic, was as follows:
