In conversation with Secretary

In conversation with Secretary
Bent he paid Mitchell a very hand
some compliment when he said that
the members we're gratitied beyond
expression at the magnificent success
Of the convention. He said that the
attendance was the largest at any
convention v e held by the associa-
tion and he didn't know when they
had such a good time. The very
large attendance of the ladies was
remarked upon by the druggists, and
they do much toward making the So
cial features all the more lively.
During the day the druggists and
their wives took their departure for
their homes, leaving behind them
many we'll wishes for Mitchell's flu
ture. The citizens have enjoyed the
presence of the visitors to a high de-
gree and they have put forth every
effort to make the visit a pleasant
one.
Thursday afternoon on of the most
exciting base bali games of the peri
cd was played at the fair grounds be-
tween the druggists and the travel
ing men and 1T was a wonderful dis
play OF the national game. The
druggists won by a score of 10 to ID,
but at a fearful cost of sore hands,
weakened muscles and tired pillmak-
ers. Only five fast and furious inn
ings were played hut in that brief
time nearly every mar on each team
played in a different position. The
umpire had an awful time. de was
killed a half dozen times but was

TOOK 1T WITH EASE
Ball Team Won Out
Oyer Mitchell and Had an
Easy Time i'm the Act.

Ut was an easy proposition Fri
day for Alexandria to beat Mitchell
in the game of base ball, the score
at the end of the ninth inning
standing 10 to l for the former. We
don't believe in Offering excuses for
a defeat, but Mitchell is certainly
entitled to ut on this occasion.
Four good men failed to get into the
game and the substitutes that were
employed could not make good, con-
sequently our fellows put in their
best licks at trying to keep the score
down and avoid a shut out.
One lone run was secured in the
first inning, for which we are thank
full, and the rest Of the innings were
simply goose eggs. Alexandria
pounded out runs in the first, sec
ond. fourth, sixth and seventh.
Jake Hough pitched for Mitchell and
with better support the score would
not have been so high against him.
Paul Williams worked we'll behind
the bat. Norton and Mike Nancy
did the pitching and catching for
Alexandria. Mike does the same
good work that he always does, while
Norton's pitching was of an ordinary
character. Jack kyburn, of Alex
andria, umpired the game, and he
was not particularly partial to
Mitchell in his decisions Alexan-
dria has a good club throughout and
the boys play the game in fine shape.
They have a strong intield and there
was not much getting away from
that outtield. The following is the
score by innings:

The reelection of Mr.. Bent to the
position OF secretary of the associa-
tion is a fine compliment to his abil-
ity to handle the work of the drug
gists and make their meetings fine
success. This is the seventh year
in succession that Mr.. Bent has held
the position and the druggists have
come to think that he is about the
only man that can meet the REQUIRE
ments. Mr.. Bent is a very aifable
gentleman, pleasant to deal with and
is highly popular.
An adjournment was taken at the
noon hour and the druggists will not
meet again until they assemble in
