A Good pitcher.

Pomeroy Democrat.
Harry AlIamang, the Mason ball
player is certainly making good"
in the southern league. In the
averages published last Sunday,
Harry stands at the top of the list
of winning pitchers with an aver
age of SS2 -I4O per cent in advance
of the next nearest pitcher. This
per cent indicates that he has won
almost nine out of every ten games
pitched, and'is a wonderful show
ing in SO strong league as the
southern. He will no doubt be
claimed by either the American OF
National Leagues next year.

ilnd of the World.

Professor Cudwig Morienburger
declares that the world is coming
to an end again. His explanation
of the phenomenon is that it has
jumped it's orbit and is careening
around in space. He says that
owing to this fact the Summers
will become hotter and the Winters
will become colder till the human
race can no longer endure the
transition. There seems to be
something mysterious about this
theory, but the average man will
not attempt to unravel it He will
simply put his trust, as heretofore,
in the coal man and tho ice man,
and the established ways of Prov
idence.

Deltnquents Should Not Vote.

and the amount of taxes for which
these persons are delinquent lie $9,-
