Versailles vs.. Eldon.

The series of ball games to be
played here Saturday and Sunday
between Versailles and Eldon ball
teams promises to be the most inter-
esting series Of games eve played on
the diamond here. The teams are
both at their best and are probably
two OF the best in this part of the
state. and many enthusiasts both of
this city and Eldon are anxious to see
the contest. There is good naturcd
r%evalry between them and the BOYS
will play to win. These games will
ne clean and fairly contested and
nothing will be permitted on the
grounds of a disorderly nature.
Good games may be expected and
large crowds will be present, espec-
Tally at the doublc-header Sunday
afternoon. l.ldon will bring up a
big excursion and our people should
make it a point to treat them royalty,
The game Saturday will begin at 3 p,
m, while the game Sunday will star
a little earlier because of the double
header.

Change at the Fair Store.

During the past week a change has
has been made at J. A.. Petty's
''Fair.' by which Harry Mills. son
of the Post Master and Mrs !. W.
Mills, purchased an interest in this
splendid establishment which carries
a large stock of shoes, clothing, fur
nishing goods, etc. and is up-to-
date in every particular.
The Fair has always been con-
sidered one Of our best business
houses. and Harry Mills has been
holding a position in the store for
several months. His qualifications
as a salesman and his pleasing man
ner with customers has proven to his
employers that ne was the right man
in the right place and worthy OF
something better in the way Of pro-
motion, hence the opportunity was
given him to secure a partnership in
the business and the same was &C.
cepted.
Harry has grown up in Versailles
and is one Of the sterling young men

Tuesday. August 7th, 1905. The

SteeIynrds Still Popular.

1t beats me-" said a clerk in hard
ware store how the old fashioned
stcclyards hold their own. | can re
member how popular they were with
certain farmers wives when | was a
boy iii the country and what a delight
it was to me to be allowed to try my
hand at weighing a roll Of butter or a
bag of wool. But even then the women
ana children were the only persons who
seemed to take much stock in steel
yards. The tradesmen who bought our
produce very fatty said that the figures
represented by steelyardS not only
could but did tell lies, and they pro
ceeded TO weigh all our stuff over again
on scales that were supposed TO have
the quality of truthfulness.
Up to the present day Steelyards
have had the reputation of being unre-
liable. bat in spite of their i'll repute
people still buy them. Just why so
many householderS and tradesmen re
tain their fondneSs for an antiquated
style of weighing machine when there
are so many new and approved pat
terms on the market is a puzzle, but
even though mystified we keep sup
ply on hand for the benefit of those who
stick to the old way of doing things. -
