It Is a Necessity.

A local newspaper is absolute ly necessary to any community, says the Buckner Tribune. It is home paper that keeps the people of the community in touch with each other by giving them all the news of their own neighborhood and country. For that alone they are of value and worth far more than the small subscription price. They keep the local pride and progressive spirit aroused and in various ways are worth far more to a community than community ever spent on them. The daily paper, with its large news service and quicker facili- ties may, in some instances, overshadow the weekly, but the weekly home paper fills 8 place in the hearts of the people that a daily cannot fill. It comes to you

AN EASY GAM E.
Augusta Defeats "VoIunteer Organist"
Eleven to Nine.

There was lots of fun at the Driving
PARK yesterday Afternoon when the Au-
gusta team defeated the team from the
volunteer Organist" company by the
score OF ii to 3. The score and summary
SHOW nothing of what the game was
1hs. for after the first inning it was
evident that it was an easy proposition
for the home team, and from that time
On the plays or misplays made by Au-
gusta, in order that the visitors might
get some runs was a most amusing
contrast to the hard work the boys
have been doing all through the season.
During the game the team was
changed about in most every combina-
ton imaginable and the crowd enjoyed
the fun as well as the players. II. Ken
niston started in to pitch and for the
most part he tried to make them hit
which, they did from time to time,
Then Henderson went into the box and
did the same thing. During the latter
part Sullivan landed onto one of these
easy ones and made a home run on a
los. ball into right field. Two men
scored ahead of the batter-Wnlch
brought the score quite close. Nobody
cared, however. and it only added to
the fun.
Augusta could proba bly, have shut out
the visitors ii they had tried, still II
may be said that the theatrical troupe
has some good ball players in their
number and it can be easily seen how
they could win from many an ordinary
team, although of course they couldn't
be expected to be the champions.
Their captain. Hallman. was OF
course the candy man and he showed
that he could play ball in the fastest
company Their pitcher also had some
good curves at times and in fact the
whole team was firSt-class, and it is
safe to say that they can surprise the
local teams in many of the towns they
visit, as indeed they have already done
from newspaper accounts.
