OF all steel construction Is that there L.

Brown scored on Wesleyan in the sec
ond half OF the game played Saturday
with but 10 seconds for play remaining
and an attempt for goal failed. 1t was
Chase who placed the leather across the
Wesleyan goal line and II was a sensa-
tional conclusion Of a game that was well
played throughout. Wesleyan played
pluckily and hard and though out
weighed the team did some admirable
playing. until the superior weight of the
Brown line told. But had the halves been
longer there Is no doubt the score would
have been more against Wesleyan for the
light men did not last like the Brown
players. A tumble for Brown lost what
appeared to be a certain goal In the first
half. There was abundant brilliant play

The Orange E"wk weed and the
Devil weed. which have flourished in
many fields around Augusta for few
years past. are still noticed in this sec
ton. These pests first made their APP
pearance in this state about 1896, and
they have spread with great rapidity.
They are death to any field they enter.
They kill the good grass and they are
very obnoxious to all kinds of stock.
In fact animals will eat no hay where
traces of these pests are found. They
bear beautiful red and red and yellow
flowers which are quite attractive. In
fact it is said that the first Devil weed
seen in Augusta was brought here from
Somerset county by a farmers wife
who was up there visiting. She thought
the flowers were so handsome she
would bring home some roots and plant
them in her flower garden. She did so,
and the result is that the east side
farms are literally covered with the
nest. On the way to Togus both weeds
are noticed in many of the fields along
the route.
