T0WNSHEND
Townshend Won In the Eleventh Inning
at Rawsonvllle.


Exactly what was meant by the local
weather prophets when on Saturday
morning they told the ball players to go
to Jacksonville as 1t was going to burn
OFF, is not exactly clear Did they mean
the sun would drive the clouds away or
that the bottom of the clouds would burn
Off and let all the water they contained
fall on the heads of those unfortunate
enough to have a 14-mile drive ahead Of
them? At any rate the latter Is about
what happened and a more thoroughly
drenched party would be hard to imagine
Yet Judging from the continued yell as
they drove into town their dripping gar
ments did not dampen the flush of VIC
tory that rested on their shoulders. To
win out an thinning game with a slip
perry ball and in a downpour OF rain was
enough to make them feel good. In the
first the locals made one run, failed to
score In the second and put in two runs
in the third. This was the last for the
locals until the 18th when by an error OF
M. Landman and three goods hits they
made good for three runs. Jacksonville
made two runs in the second and one in
the ninth, which tied the score. In the
last half Of the 18th II looked as OF they
would win out, and no one would have
felt badly had 1t gone their way. The
ball was slippery and hard 10 hold or
throw. Evidently F. Kingsbury trusted
to wild throw when with two men out
he tried TO come home, but 1t was no
use, he was caught and the game ended

OF smoke on the wall the entire length.
In the kitchen boards were split of and

The County eranne.

The meeting of Pomona Grange at
Union hall on Wednesday was pleasant
affair, rendered of uncommon importance
by the presence of Gov. Bell of Vermont
who, besides opportune remarks In the
forenoon private session, gave a pub
lie address in the afternoon on Industry
and Prosperity" which was replete with
good, sterling common sense.
The general program was of interest
and attendance good Speakers of the
Grange congratulated the order on pro-
noting many improvements of the day.
Especial attention was given TO express
sion of the better present opportunities
for farmers education and progress to
keep up with business lines of the age.
A thread of reference in the main
speeches referred happily to the talk Of
the morning on the interesting question
as to whether the young farmer is at a
disadvantage in the matrimonial market
and the concensus of opinion was decided
ly in the negative. The county lecturer,
Mrs. Mixer, mentioned that at the winter
reception of the Daughters of Vermont in
Boston Gov. Bell was so pleased with the
program that he agreed to greet the MEM
bers as sisters in the Grange If ever the
opportunity should come; hence Mrs.
A. w. Pratt of North Cambridge was
presented as "a sister" and she responded
at request with an appropriate song, a
part of the refrain of which was THE
flowers that blow in old Vermont" writ
ten of course by Vermonter.
In the evening an informal public re-
ception was given by the Grand Army
post to the governor at the County hotel,
where he and other Grange officers had
quarters. Many took this opportunity to
greet the chief magistrate of our state.
