Base Ball Game Postpone

The third game of the series
tween DanVille A. A and Bloomsbury
A. A. scheduled at BloOmsbarg for
Saturday, July 29th, has been postpon
ed indefinitely at the request of the
Bloomsbnrg management.
The postponement is made necessary
on account Uf the absence of several
Bloomsbury players and the illness of
Lewis who is one of the star perform
ers of the Columbia county aggrega-
tion.
The series between these two teams
has created lively interest, and the
fans will be disappointed, as large
crowd would have attended the game
at Bloomsbury The local management
will endeavor to secure game for
Saturday at DeWitt's Park and, if sue
cessful, due notice will be given.

One of the finest products of the
photographer art ever seen in this
city is the large picture of the river
bridge that has been on exhibition i'll

The picture is one of several made
by Photographer James Illand for the
King Bridge Company. II is 30 by IS
inches and is an enlarged reproduction
of an s by 10 picture taken by Mr..
Irland. Tie view is taken from a point
west of the Danville approach and
shows the entire length of the struct-
ure. A DanvilIe and Sunbury trolley
car is standing at the Danville end.
The features of persons standing on
the bridge can be easily recognized.

Another Gunboat Victim Dies.

SAN DIEGO. Cal. July 26.-Anoth-
er death among the injured of the Ben
nington's crew has occurred, the VIC
tim being W V. Kennedy. The body
will be taken to Alliance, Nebraska,
where the deceased formerly lived.
The investigation of the disaster,
conducted by Commander Young and
Lieutenants Yates aud Wade, has been
concluded, and a report is being pre-
pared to be forwarded to Washington.
Nothing can be learned as to its con
tents from any OF the three officers,
but there appears reason to believe
they have decided only one boiler ex-
ploded. but that the explosion broke
the steam pipes of the other boilers,
and that thus the latter contributed
their share of the death dealing steam.

Trolley Excursion a Success.

The trolley ride to Bloomsbury and
return given Monday eve for the bene-
fit of the Pine Street Lutheran churC h
was a gTand success financially and
socially.
This is the first time that the Dan
vile and Bloomsbury line has placed
an illuminated car on the road and the
effect was an artistic success. The
many colored incandescent lights and
the bunting with which the car was
trimmed produced most pie 'sing eff
feet. and one that called forth most
favorahle comments along the line.
Early in the evening it was found
that such large number of tickets
had been sold that it would be neces-
sary to make two trips and to run two
cars on each trip The first cars left
Danville at 7 30 O'Clock and were fill
ed to the capacity. 1t was necessary
for many to wait for the next trip
which left this city shortly after
o clock As each of the open cars
easily seats 100 persons it is estimated
that at least 400 people enjoyed the
ride to Bloomsbury and return last
evening

The knOCker.

In the coming of words none is more
used or appropriate than the expressive
term "knOcker" as applied to the per-
son whose pessimism leads him to
criticize unreasonably men and things
He exists everywhere and his tongue
is constant menace to the peace of
the community. No cause is too sa-
cred 10 escape his hammer.
Knock ing is his trade. He mistakes
it for wit and sarcasm Public i'm
pIovements in his opinion are design
ed solely for graft; no one can posi-
bly, favor such movements with disin-
terested motives. Civic pride is joke,
public spirit another name for selfish
ness
Thus the knocker reasons, and he
acts and talks accordingly. He has no
faith in anybody or anything. His
views are always distorted aud his
hand is against all men. His voice is
loud aud penetrating and because
sensible men decline to notice him he
agnes his arguments are unanswer-
able.
But it's fortunate that the knOoker
so soon finds his level, He becomes a
public nuisance and is avoided of all
men He knocks in vain.

FARMERS ARE
Being Benefited

Great is the rural free delivery ser
vice. But it is not as great as it is 60
ing to be- According to a statemen
just issued by an official of the Post
Office Department, during the past year
nearly 40. 900 applications for the es-
tablishmenG of rural services were re
ceived. Up to the close of the fiscal
year IL, 600 os these had been rejected,
mostly because the proposed routes fell
below the standard in the matter Of
probable patronage, and :, 1872 were
granted So there is quite a number
of applications still to be passed upon
even il the demand does fall off. But
the demand is not going to fall off for
some time to come.
On July | there were in actual SER
vice 32, 05S rural routes and many of
these are in such fine shape that the
department is preparing to have the
addressed to box numbers as is now
permitted in the case of post office
boxes. This move in itself may not be
very important improvement, but 1t
is evidence that the authorities are
bent on making the service as nearly
pei feet as maybe, and as such it wi II
be welcomed.
These thirty odd thousand scouts of
the postal service and incidentally of
progress and enlightenment, cost the
taxpayers pretty penny each year, but
they are worth all they cost and more
too The Postoffice Department was
recently in receipt of communication
from Georgia which ran to the effect
that the telephone and the rural de-
livery of mail have increased land
values from $40 to 800 per acre
Georgia is no exception for all over
the land the farmer is beginning to
feel the benefits that accrue from his
being brought into closer touch with
the world. 1t would be vastly better
for all concerned if Uncle Sam were
to devote more money and attention to
development along this line and less
TO building battleships.
