the Southern Bell Telephone Company
| will be denied the right to string its
| wires on Eighth Street. under a tenn
| porary franchise of six months. which
| has been recommended to the Coun-
Gil by the Street Committee Even the
| members of the Council who voted for
| the Council. They claim that il the
! company ever wants a franchise It can
| apply for it now as well as it could six
! months hence. The company wants to
| get a six-months' franchise for the pur-
pose of removing it's wires from Mayo's
/ Bridge and placing them across tho
| Free Bridge. going out Eighth. It will
connect with its new power-house in
this manner. In view of the fact that
| Mayo's Bridge is to be torn down, the
| company does not want to place cables
| across it, when it would have to remove
them at a large expense The Council
meets Tomorrow night when tlla whole
matter will be discussed.
TO PLAY RICHMOND.
/ The Fulton Brownies have sent chal-
lenge to the "Blue Jeans baseball team

received no answer to their challenge
and do not know what to think of it.
I. The Blue Jeans" team is composed OF
the best known young men in Manches-
Z ter. The social standing of the mem
bers of the team IS the best and they
play good ball. Whether they wish to
ignore the challenge or whether they have
just been negligent in answering It. IS not
known. One thing Is certain. the "Blue
Jeans team is not afraid Of any COM
bination of players unless they be pro-
4 fessionals. The games Of the team are
i always clean, free Of wrangffng and
s made more interesting by the merry
| voices of the beautiful mascots.
