 And good cheer and mirth abounded
 thereat.

 every year
 At each others homes with our friends
 so dear.
 But the circles were broken and
 changes soon made, Leaving few of our kin to solace with
 our aid.
 That set the ball rolling, it's yet on
 the track,
 For in good cause its not wise to
 turn back.
 As through social relations much
 happiness comes. To influence our lives and brighten
 our homes.
 Then others soon hearing our parties
 were nice,
 Were eager to help us and joined in a
 trice.

 Thetis,
 And lastly came Sabra, no longer a

 The boys were ambitious, many went

 Seeking for fortunes and honors, the

 Later Edmund and Lyman were oft
 at our teas,
 Aiding with their presence such fes-
 tivities.
 Ohl girls what pleasures, these meet
 ings of ours, Cementing our friendships and glad
 ening the hours. A fortunate class were the ten school
 mates,
 Of the square roof schoolhouse grad
 uates.

BASE BALL.
Canaan Won Twice Last Week.
 CANAAN 13, ANIENIA '.

CANAAN l3, AAIENIA '.
 The game with Amenia last Satur- day was an exhibition of old time country base ball, the home team play ing carelessly after the fifth inning, and Amenia not having hope of winning after that fatal third, the game dragged along to an uninterestinglfnish, New man, the real thing in Amenia pitchers, was out of condition and only threw few in the fourth, immediately retiring in favor of Banks who gave way to Smith. Deming pitched the first three innings for Amenia, but he didn't have the speed, and his support was awful. Joe Quinn twirled the nine innings for Canaan and did well enough giving no bases on balls and five of the nine hits were made by the well-known heavy hitters, Smith, Cleary and Bartlett. Canaan made fourteen hits in eight times at bat. The score:

Norfolk hired team and came down here to win the game last Thursday but alas for the hopes of Manager Bresna- han, it wasn't to be, Canaan winning out by 5 to3.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1901-07-04

To get away from the torrid
atmosphere Of the bedroom a col
ored individual of the feminine sex
hied herself to Oak Grove, a few
evenings ago there to enjoy the
breezes which are ever present. So
in her native innocence she calmly
diyested herself of her clothing put
on white night dress and stretched
herself on a plank which spanned
the distance between two trees, to
dream, if possible, the hours away.
The contrast between her ebony
form and scanty role de mutt, has
been described to the writer by two
people who were near at hand, as
artistically delightful. Instead of
being grateful for an opportun-
ity to see where nature rivaled
art, our informants say they were
greatly annoyed and i'll at
ease, until by a forced laugh
they made their presence known,
and sthe woman disappeared from
view behind the dancing pavilion
and departed toward the railroad
tracks.

There was large and nice dis
play of vegetation at the market
Tuesday morning. Cherries were
most abundant in the fruit line.
There were lots Of them, but
the demand was good and vendors
found little difficulty in disposing
OF their supply. The writer inter
viewed several of the farmers in re-
gard to the outlook for crops. Each
appeared to feel confident of rich
harvests. Corn, which earlier in
the season was threatened with dis
aster, is, they believe, over the
danger period now, and the warm
days and nights are helping its
growth. All that is needed now
to place the cereal beyond the reach
of injury is rain.
