been nicely pressed and the bats oiled for the occasion. Captain McRae had his men out early this morning practicing on hitting home runs. Of course no actual ball and bat were used but the men lis tened to an hours lecture on the art and all went away feeling that slugging had been made easy. Red Pepper O'Neill, who made himself famous on former occasion asked permission of the captain to be allowed to bat only when three men were on bases. As H. Scudder Ryall all ready had that job cinched Red Pepper was turned down. First Baseman Bynum notified the management last night that he had ordered bat from Sylacauga made from a hickory hitchlng post which was guaranteed to hook anything within ten feet of the plate. He will show the people how 1t works in the beginning of the third inning A net has been stretched over the top of the fence to prevent balls being knocked too far.
 A committee of citizens called on H. Scudder Ryall yesterday and presented him with a handsome bat in commemora- tion of his distinguished home run slashed off the delivery of IT. Gait Braxton in the former game with the News. The bat is elaborately trimmed in silver and is tipped with gold. A handsome dia- mond adorns the small end of the bat and it was presented in a Morocco case. It IS now on exhibition in a heavy plate glass case in The Age-Herald press room. Tick cts of admission to see the handsome momento can be secured from Captain McRae of The Age-Herald on proof of good character.
 Outfielder Williams and Catcher Cook have been released. The former was sus- pended for jumping his contract, the latter was fired for inability to appear well in uniform.

Huntsville, July 25.-The game this after noon between Pulaski and Huntsville was forfeited to the latter in the last of the fifth inning.

RELIEF SOCIETY'S
 ANNUAL REPORT

Last Tuesday afternoon the Relief Society met with Mrs. L. H rseb. This was the first meeting of the year, hence the tardiness of the report for 1902 Tn order that all members, em- bracing most of the business firms, may know how their dues are used and have some idea of the large amount of good accomplished by the Society, we kindly ask the editor of this paper for some of his much ap- preciated space, for he prints our notices free during the entire year for which we now thank him.
 Not taking time to itemize we give below a few expenses of last year: Drug bills for few summer
 smonths ........ ...............-....... $20.90. Wood bills for few winter
 months .... ...................-....... $10.75. One case-a sick mother and
 babe e.................... $36.25 One family where every member
 was sick at once with nothing on
 hand. ..o......,...... ....... $40.OO. Bills from Merchants $84.35. The election of officers resulted in the re- election of the old ones (with a few bouquets.)
 We start in this years work with s220. .35 in bank and a membership of seventy five.

 in their proper order, to which Campbell gave his ready consent.
 The court then overruled the motiofN of Mr. Campbell, who next introduced motion to dismiss the petition of Henry Bordwell ct al. on the ground that the same was filed January g, 1903, before the expiration of the two years for which the prohibition order was made and in support of this mo- tion, cited decision from the Ala bama supreme court, reading state- ment of the case and opinion of the court
 Judge M. M. Stuckey took up the one decision brought forth, arguing that the court had not acted in this instance as in the Alabama case, prior to the expiration of the time for which the order was made.
 The court then overruled this sec ond motion of the prohi attorneys and began the hearing of witnesses who had taken the census and carried the petition for the restoration of licensed saloons within the three mile district of the Newport public school. Will Whitaker was first examined as to the time and manner in which he had taken said census and J. M. Stayton was put upon the stand and questioned in regard to his alphabetical compila ton of the same. The attorneys then compared the lists, some of the names being almost illegible. The prohis, it thus seems, are preparing to contest the qualifications of many signers of of the license petition. These lists were being reviewed at press hour and the end was not in sight.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
PUSHING TOWARDS MARSHALL.

IO6dlNf IOW AhlJS 0lAfNCi1AllL.
 The railroad situation is all that could be desired this week. Welsh Bros, contractors, are now encamped at the gap of the mountain east of town and are rapidly pushing forward the work. Several hands are clear ing the right way and digging stumps on this side of the mountain, others are building culverts, while a large force of wheelers and scrapers are at work right in the gap of the mountain where a cut of seventeen feet has to be made. Another force of hands are grading further down in Wiley's Cove. Meanwhile the bridge work at Buffalo and the grading on Brush creek is being pushed forward at rapid rate. Cars are almost sure to run into Marshall by June 1st. Marshall Republican.
 HARRISON SEEKS TO RECOVER.
 The eighty eight citizens of Harri- son, who sued for an.alleged balance of $1 300 by the railroad company have employed Attorneys J. w. Story and Frank Pace to look after their inter- ests in the case. Much more than enough remains uncollected of the or iginal subscription to settle all claims; and it seems evident that the railroad received a larger amount than was guaranteed them by our people. liar rison Times.
