/ George Schroeder has stood and
I watched his fine bunch of hogs grow
Ing all summer and concluded. the
hrst OF the week that they were high
: enough so he could make some good
money so he disposed of twenty eight
of them.
The Gray ball team went down to
defeat last Wednesday when thew
played with Audubon. The game was
, closely contested however and gave fine
visitors as much to do ifnot more than
they nave had at any place yet The
score as given to us was seven to three
IN favor of Audubon, which is not bad
playing.
| viii Barger an d Old Mr.. Lacy
h1tched one ofthe latter's big horses to
sled the first of the week and used it
as dray TO convey shingles to their
oarns which they put thereon. The
TASK OF getting them conveyed was
aoout as great as getting them nailed
on ana Their desire for either job was
about equal.

The Fourth will soon be here with
its attendant fire crackers and other
instruments of torture. Our peonle
will celebrate. But the towns win re
ceive division of the population as
some will go to Audubon and some to
Manning. But all should turn loose
the hired help and let them rest:
should take mother and children and
let them have one good days rest.
Yes, let everybody celebrate some
place.

# the inhabitants of Gray had the
beliefs pre- valent in the Roman Empire
lew centuries ago they would have
PAID homage to the god of base ball
last Saturday as at the game then Gray
Won hard fought victory over Botna
by the score of seventeen to sixteen.
One inning of errors on both sides al
lowed the scores to go where they
were, but it took ten innings to detiie
the contest as at the end of the ninth
the score stood even. The boys, and in
fact all the inhabitants, felt iubilant
over the vic tory.
