Ball Game Tomorrow.

We learn that the Flagstaff junior ball team will sure be here tomor- row and mix it with the locals.
 We have roasted the kids a little but that fact don't signify that they cannot play ball. A little roasting does some people good. What the boys need now is little boosting. Come out to the grounds tomorrow and help the boys square them selves. They can do it, but they could play better if a big crowd turned out. No actor like to play to empty benches, so join the crowd and help win.

Wednesday evening at the home of MT. and Mrs. Reese, the sister of the latter, Miss Hattie Hammond and Mir. Smith Beck were united in marriage by Rev. Oliver, the cere- mony being performed in the pres ence of only few friends and rela- tives. Both are we'll known young society people and have many friends in Williams who congratu- late them upon this most import ant event of their lives. MT. Beck, who is general foreman of the local box factory, had already prepared pretty home, to which he took his bride, where the boys gathered and made the welkin ring with the reg ulation charivari. The NEWS ex- tends congratulations.
