were tried and convicted in the mag

the governors refusal to extend Glenn

so doing he wGuld give sanction to
Sunday base ball games. and that the
offense would be repeated, but it is
contended by Natchez citizens that
such would not be the case, and they

All indications point to the fact that
the attendance at the games this
season will be greater than for the
past two seasons. The game is really
making very fast strides into popular
favor, and one Of the reasons for this
is the fact thae the ladies have taken
great interest in it, and when the Ia
dies lend their presence the men Will

taken as a good hint for every town in
