esting descriptions of his recent visit to
Chickamauga battlefield, Lookout noun
tain and other historical points in the
South. The address was listened to with
marked interest by the audience which
filled the hall to it's full capacity. Appro-
pirate musical selections were rendered
by the choir, Rev. II. K. Riegel director,
Mrs. ]. H. Kidder organist.
After these exercises the procession
moved to the cemetery, where the ritual
istic ceremonies were performed by MEM
bers of the post and the graves of de-
ceased comrades were decorated. Re-
freshments were served in the post hall,
and after doing full justice to the repast
the people returned to their homes feeling

TOW NJ SHEND.


Last Friday and Saturday witnessed
some good base ball playing on the part
of the local team. With some assistance
from Newfane they defeated Williams
vile at Newfane Decoration day by the
score of % to II. The battery work of
Harvey and Sparks was effective, and the
rest of the team gave them good support
HarVeys home run was a feature. In
the morning the Townshend Juniors de-
feated the Newfane Juniors by the score
of q to 4.
Saturday the Wardsboro team visited
town, and the most exciting game of the
season was the result. At the end of the
first half of the ninth inning Wardsboro
led by two runs. With one out for
Townshend, Sprague and Maher singled
and Sparks and Davis reached first on
fumbles by the pitcher, Sprague scoring
Hughes followed with a hit bringing in
Maher with the tying run. The next bat
ter struck out, but Smith then hit to
Landman, who threw wildly to first. and
before the ball was recovered the bases
were cleared. According to the rules
however, the score must stand Is to IA in
favor of Townshend The work of Davis
and Lawrence in centre field and in the
box was the feature of the game. Land
man pitched well for Wardsboro except in
the fatal ninth inning.

OUTPUT MUCH GREATER FOR APRIL
THAN THE SAME MONTH LAST
YEAR, OR IN MAACH.
DEMONSTRATES THAT THE
MINES ARE ALL WORKING
Eastern Journal Says That II Proves,
Too, That There Are No Restrictions
Placed on the Output at the Mines
Exports Less in April Because OF Lack
Of Speculative Shipments.

For the first time this year-in April
copper production as reported by John
Stanton for the companies SHOWS an in
crease over the corresponding month las,
year, says the Engineering and Mining
Journal. The gain is considerable one
amounting to 2,7S0 tons for the reporting
mines and 400 tons from outside sources.
The total Of aI,6a4 tons is greater by $50
tons than the quantity reported in March
and by $3.50 tons than that for April oi
last year.
his considerable gain has reduced the
falling OFT for the four months ending
April 80 TO $50 tons, as compared with the
corresponding period in 1907. 1t is of
special Importance as showing that there is
no longer any considerable restriction in
the output and that most OF the mines are
running AT about their normal capacity
he number Of new mines which are
shipping copper this year is not large, and
their total production is not OF great i'm
portance The resumption OF full work al
most OF the mines indicates that the auan-
tity OF copper turned ont is going to be.
Tor some time TO come fully up to the
standard OF last year and possibly a little
ahead Of it. The United States exports
Tor April were less than the very large
figures for March by s,675 tons, but still
reached the large quantity Of r64a4 tons.
Four Months Report.
his makes a total for the four months
OF o7.656 tons Of copper sent abroad from
this country, which is nearly two and one
hall times the quantity reported for the
same period last year. 1t may be safely
said that the falling OFF in April exports
was largely due to the elimination Of spec.
ulatlve shipments, and that the total repre-
sents a legitimate business done in re-
sponse to the increased buying Of copper
abroad.

Gently is shown by the fact that in face of
the increased production there has been a

In the epistle Mr.. Cahill says that a
mining company operating there has let
contract for piping water into Toncpah
from a point so miles away. The water
is to supply the inhabitants Of the town
and ioo-stamp mill which the company
intends to erect. lie says il will take a

II suppose you have heard Of the cx-

place. On the strength OF the reports
several men went from here to the scene
OF the reported discovery to get options

man come here and thus lose his time aud

which all who come must pass.

said, would be sufficient to satisfy all the
creditors and leave substantial surplus
for himself, though this would not be SO If
