COLUMBIA WILL
BE In LEAGUE.
Professional Ball Again This
Summer.
Tennessee-Alsbama League. With
SIX Clubs. Among Them Chat
Ianooga and Knoxville.
SEASON WILL BEGIN MAY Is

Columbia will certainly have pro-
fessional hall this summer. and will he
in the Tennessee Alabama League.
This was decided Friday night. when
local promoters of the sport, after a
canvass of the city that day, tele-
phoned TO the President of the league,
Mr.. Van Valkenburgh, at Huntsville,
that sufficient subscriptions toward a
stock company had been made to jus
tify them in asking for franchise.
President Van Valkenburgh stated that
he was glad of it, and that Columbia
would be given a franchise.
The league will be six-club organ
iZation, and will continue under the
name of the Tennessee Alabama
League, " the same as last summer, as
the ''Tri State League" would be a
misnomer, fer the reason that the
towns composing the league are all
located in Tennessee and Alabama. 1t
was at first thought to take in Rome
Ga, which suggested the name of the
''Tri State League, but this idea has
been abandoned. The league will be
composed of the following towns: Co (
lumbIa, Decatur, Huntsville, Annis- 7
ton, Chattanooga and Knoxville The
season Will open May is. A schedule
committee is already at work at Chat
tanooga on the schedule. A special
from Chattanooga says that it has been
decided that that city shall open on its
own grounds, with Huntsville, on Sat
urday, May IA.
The leaders in the move to organize
an association in Columbia are DIR.
Robt. Pillow, j. III. Carpenter and j.
E. Dedman. Constituting themselves
as a committee, they canvassed the
town Friday and obtained 5000 in
subscriptions toward stock company.
The new league will be a great deal
faster than last years league, and next
to the Cotton States and the Texas
Leaguers, viii be the fastest league in
the South, excluding the Southern.

No Danger That Any important Fish
Will Become Extinct.

In a chapter on the artificial culti-
walton of sea FISH. contributed by X.
Il. Marston to Aflalo's British Salt
Water Fishes" it is stated that there
need be no fear that such important
fish as the cod and the herring can
ever become extinct or even reduced
in numbers by man. except locally.
A cod of ten pounds has . million
eggs. On July 26. 1895. Prof. Hensen
calculated that there must be over
27S.0O0. 100000 of impregnated cod
eggs in each square Norwegian geo
graphical mile of the surface OF the
Skagerrak. Consequently the three or
four hundred millions OF eggs artif-
cially hatched and turned in annually
from a Norwegian hatchery are only
drop in the ocean.
In America, however. Goldfish cul.
ture has had beneficial results in es.
tablishing lucrative fisheries in in.
shore waters of New England that had
entirely depleted or had not contained
any great stock of them previous to
the operations of the fish commission.
Still more splendid have been the re.
suits from the culture of shad. once a
luxury obtainable only by few. but
now plentiful and conIpa. atively
cheap.

Somehow when the fall comes on.
And the leaves turn and come down.
Feel like throwing up my job
Feel like getting out OF town.
Want to ramblc in the woods
Want to hear the north wind blow
Want to hear the choppers axe
Want to hear the cattle low.
Want to trudge across the fetd
When the night Is drawing nigh.
To the home from which the smoke
Rises to the yellowing sky.
Want to sit down by the fire
In the evening in the fall.
While the blazes from the logs
Throw their shadows on the wall.
Want to lie down in the night
Want to feel that rest Of brain
That comes only when one hears
On the roof the fall OF rain.
Want to go to sleep and rest
To the patter that comes down
On the shingles in the fall
OF the old house out Of town.

Natures Defense.

How are children so often able
without injury to swallow such sharp
things Hs pi1.s, needles, tacks and hits
Of glass? The secret. as disclosed by
DR.. Albert Exner OF Vienna, lies in
the fact that. when pointed or sharp.
edged body comes in contact with the
lining of the stomach or intestines,
the part touched contracts and puck
ers so as to thicken itself in that
place. At the same time it withdraws
itself in such manner as to form a
little pocket and gradually twists the
object around SO as to turn the edge
or point away. pushing the thing
along.
