Nearly go persons witnessed a very ex-
citing game OF ball yesterday at McCall's
park when the Mortified High school and
the local High school played off the tie
which existed between the two teams.
Until the last of the sixth inning neither
side had scored. At this time Goodhart
reached first on an error BY mid fielder,
stole second and third and came home on
Hayward's sacrifice. Carpenter hit safely
and came in on hit by Chedel
In the eighth inning Mortified tied the
score. Lafrana drew a pass to first, adj
yanced two bases ON Downing's hit and
both scored on buttons hit. This ended
the scoring by the visitors. In the last
half Of the same inning the home team
secured the winning run by a base on
balls, hit and an error
Catcher kibbee allowed only one stolen
base during the game and played without
an error. Grow on second accepted six
chances without an error The fielding of
Goodhart and Hayward was also perfect.
The pitching on both sides was fine. Dut-
ton and Downing did great work for the
visitors. Altogether, il is said by compe-
tent judges to be the best game PLAYED in
town for years. Two enthusiastic specta-
tors, who were much pleased by the show
ing OF the boys, treated the whole team to
ice cream and soda as a reward. The sup
port given by the young ladies was also
much appreciated by the boys and il is
hoped that the same amount OF interest
will be shown in the coming games.

YOU to paint il, and then not paint it again
for ten years-unless it needs repainting.
We'd like such a sample as that in every
town in the country-with a notice about
it in the town paper: "Mr. Gllson's
house was painted ten years ago with De-
voc lead and zinc, and has never been re-
painted. The color is not so bright as it
was; but the paint is as perfect coat as
ever, TO keep out water.
a good lead and oil job is expected to
last three years; it is good one that lasts
three years; it generally does not. Devoe
lead and zinc lasts twice as long, il not
IF you have any fault to find with this
paint. either now in putting ii on, or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it.

you as a witness.

association now numbers some 275 meme

most successful reunion ever held.
Special arrangements have been made
with the graduating class whereby the
exercises of graduation will be held on
Thursday evening. This will leave Erie
day for the use OF the alumni. The
banquet will be held az $3.50 p. m. and

presidents reception viii be held in the
parlors. The banquet viii be served by
Landlord Brown, in his large and well
fitted dining groom, by experienced help.
In this way tine inconvenience OF some
of the other banquets viii be removed.
Again several changes have been made
in the reunion program. Glass reunions

presidents and will be held at the same
time before the banquet. Following the
banquet there will be but few toasts but
a class roll call will be substituted. Re
sponses will be heard from every class,

Have a Purpose in Life.

Ambition to achieve has saved
many a man and woman from an
early grave. From a healthy
point of view, a definite purpose
in life, something the mind is
best on accomplishing, is a factor
too rarely considered. The will
power which holds one to a set
task oftimes wards off physical
weakness and WEAKNESS better
than the drug or medicine which

must accomplish this before /
die" has been the expressed pur-
pose of more than one of the
worlds greatest workers. And
though the task proved a long
one, and the accomplishment of
it difficult, the strong mind held
the ailing body up to its duty and
death was cheated for years of it's
victim. A broken spirited per-
son, discouraged by failure, grief
or loss of friends or position, be-
comes an easy victim to disease
and sickness of any kind. With
the mind discouraged, the body
relaXes, the organs are at a low
ebb and life itself is held by a
slender thread. If there is moth
ing to live for, nothing to look
forward to, no hope or ambition,
the patient is III a dangerous
mental and consequently physi-
cal condition that requires some-
what unusual remedies. The
best tonic that can be admins
tered is to arouse the mind to a
state of hopefulness and de-
termination. FIX.

CORN

The rains of the last two days
will work incalculable benefit to
the corn crop. Over the south
ern portion of the State much of
the early planted corn has been
laid by, and is tasseling and silk

making satisfactory growth, but
has suffered considerably owing
to high winds and drifting soil.
The crop is we'll cultivated, and
stands of the late planted crop
generally good.

These crops have suffered

RAINFALL

Up to and including Saturday,
the Bird of May, the week was prac-
tically without rain. Since that
date, however, heavy and in some
instances excessive rains occurred
in all parts of the State, except
along the eastern border and in
portions Of Gulf counties and the
upper Rio Grande Valley. The
following heavy rainfalls are re-
ported: Beeville, BPS; San An
tonic, 1856; Blanco, 1.50; Brown
wood, 1.70 Cuero, 2.10; San Mar
cos, 2.2S; Sherman, 3.20; Waxa-
hachie, $50. This general rain
has come at most opportune time
and will effectually relieve the
drouth that has prevailed over
many parts of the State for some
time past. The rain fall of Sat-
