BALL GAME.
The ball game between Nor
borne and Keytesville was too
one sided to be interesting as
Keytesville won the game by a
score of 7 to 1. The best play
Of the game, perhaps, was made
by Chas. E. Veatch of Keytes-
vile who made a throw from
way out in left field to home
plate and put man out.
FIREWORKS.
The days festivities weund
up with ma gnificent display of
fireworks, under the supervision
of G. F Lamkin, the junior
member of the loan and abstract
firm of Minter & Lamkin, from
the top of the Young building.
FINALE.
Everybody's thanks are due
the committee, Messrs. E. B.
Kellogg, G. L. White and j. M.
Haley, and their able assistants
who had the celebration in
charge.
Keytesville's fourth was grand hurrah;
Smite him, who denies it, on the jaw,
And blow him up with great big gun
So he never again can have any fun,
Next fall Well give another show,
We'd have everybody on earth to know,
And we want everybody and you to come
At the toot of our horn and beat Of our rum.

Another Matrimonial Misfit.

Mrs. Mary E. Powell of near
Roanoke has found marriage a
failure, after having tried sit for
81 years, and has broughtlit at
the September term OF SMcuit
court at Salisbury for a divorce
from her husband, Geo. w. Pow
ell. Plaintiff states in her petit
ton that she was lawfully mar
ried to defendant inc Randolph
county, Mo-, Jan. %, 1878, and
continued to live with him until
November 16, 1899. Plaintiff
AYERS that during the time she
and defendant lived together she
discharged all of her duties and
obligations as his wife and at all
times treated him with kindness
and affection; but defendant,
wholly disregarding his duties
as the husband of plaintiff, aban-
doned her, as stated above, and
has since lived separate and
apart from her. Plaintiff says
that 10 children were born of
said marriage, four of whom,
Esa, aged IA; Ruth, aged IL;
Rolla, aged 8, and Gladys, aged
5, are now and have been ever
since her husband deserted her,
in the care, custody and under
the control of plaintiff, and have
been supported out of her means
without any help or assistance
from defendant. Plaintiff fur
ther states that defendant is not q
resident of the state of Missouri,
but, as she is informed and veri.
ly believes, is a resident of the
state of Kansas. Wherefore,
plaintiff prays that she may be
divorced from the defendant,
that she may have the care, Gus. i.
tody and control of said minor
children, and for such orders
and DEGREES as the court may
deem just and proper in the
premises. johnson & Johnson
of Salisbury are Mrs. Powell's
attorneys.

Johnnie's Two fourths.

The cannon roared
And the rockets scared,
And the pinwheels whizzed and
turned.
The crackers popped
A match was dropped
That's how my hair was burned.
The fireworks bright
Lit up the night,
And zigzagged through the sky /;
A rocket dropped,
And when it stopped
Relieved me of an eye.
An ear, my nose,
Two of my toes,
Went off, to my alarm.
Some dynamite
Would not act right,
And took away my arm.
Four fingers and
Part of my hand
We're likewise blasted free.
Fourth of July
Has now gone by
And one.fourth of me.

NUMBER 73
A New Odd Fellows Lodge.

new Odd Fellows Lodge.
The enterprising and ever
wide.awake little village Of
Prairie Hill now boasts of an
Odd Fellows lodge, No. GIT,
consisting of five old and twelve
new members.
The lodge was instituted by
Deputy Grand Master, J. w.
Grizzell of Salisbury, and the
following officers were elected for
the ensuing term of six months:
F. w. Knott, N. GIL. C. Green,
V. g.; DR.. R. G. Epperly, secre-
tary, and G. o. Houston, treas-
urer.
The degrees on the IL new
members were conferred in the
I. O. O. F. hall at Salisbury
Thursday night, and was wit
messed by nearly 200 members of
the order. The new members
were: G. w. Sears, Henry
Keene, Jesse Twyman, Walter
Houston, Chas. Egan, c. G.
Carlstead, Jas. Gilchrist, Thos.
Dunlap, w. M. Ehrhardt, Ru-
fus Ehrhartd, E. R. McAdam
and Mike Roden.
The first, second and third de-
grees were also conferred upon
T. j. Clarkson, j. P. A. Quick,
DR.. H. E. kirkpatrick and s. E.
Harding of Dalton, who had al
ready been given the inltiatory
degree in their home lodge.
The degree work of Thursday
night was divided, Dalton taking
the initiatory, Keytesville the
first, Armstrong the second and
Salisbury the third.
Dalton lodge made q fine show
ing, both in personal appearance
and in the excellence of their
work. The members of the team
were well drilled and their
marching was the very poetry of
motion.
Keytesville team did fairly
well in the first degree, yet some
of the members had not attended
rehearsal as often as they should
have done, but the derelicts
alone had to bear the burden of
responsibility for their short
comings.
Armstrong had a good team
and entered upon their work
with a zeal and zest that was
kept up to the end and made q
splendid impression upon the
older members of the order as
well as upon the candidates.
Salisbury, like Keytesville,
had not devoted as much time to
rehearsal as they should have
done, but as they were hosts and
had much else to look after they
were largely excusable.
A substantial lunch of ham
sand wiches, pickles and coffee
was served at F. A. Roses res
taurant about midnight.
Every Odd Fellow present en-
joyed himself, and joins the edi-
tor of the COURIER in the hope
that Charlton lodge, No. 677, I.
0. 0. F., will flourish as green
bay tree, and that it will be q
power in the land for the des-
semtoation of the principles Of
friendship, love and truth.

The Fourth at Keytesville.

gooo ola Gays OF the keyteSVllle
fair was here the 4th of July and
had a good time in general. In
dependence day is always an
occasion for unbridled patriot
ism and uproarous noise by the
American citizen.
There were no restraints on
those who came to Keytesville
Monday, and if any failed to en-
joy themselves it must have been
because they were devoid of
patriotism or didn't have the
price of package of fire. crack
ers, a toy pistol, national
repeating cane, a parcel of con-
fetti, a sack of peanuts or glass
of pink lemonade. All of these
4th of July indispensibles were
here and then some, but the
greatest of all were the national
repeating canes. They were
noisiest, hence those who carried
them were most ''patriotic.''
Throughout the day and even
ing the sweetest of music was
dispensed by the Keytesville
Cornet band and everyone had
kind word for "our band
boys.'' Nothing adds SO much
to the pleasure of such an occa-
sion as good band music, and
that is the kind the Keytesville
Cornet band furnishes.
The program as it appeared in
last weeks COURIER was carried
out to the letter with the excep-
ton of the 100-yard footrace,
sackrace, the footrace for negro
boys under 10 years old, fat
mans footrace and handsomest
unmarried lady over 20 years of
ago. Those who offered pre-.
miums for these were more than
willing to carry out their part
of the contract, but there were
no entries.
The balloon also failed to
make an ascension for the rea.
son that it was new balloon,
made of cheap sheeting, and the
smoke and air escaped through
the cloth about as fast as they
went in from the pit. In an ef.
fort to fill the balloon and from
the time it required it got so hot
that it caught fire and burned in
the twinkling of an eye. The
balloon "went up" but not in
the way the spectators had hop
ed.
Other events were pulled off
as follows:
DANCING.
Open air dancing-all day
and night, and the more the large
audience would crowd around,
the less "air" the dancers got and
the better they danced. The
music for those who tripped the
light fantastic was furnished on
a banjo and two violins and was
very tempting even to Methodist
feet as they stood around and
kept time to the music with their
pedal extremeties.
AWARD OF PREMIUMS.
