Greenville, Miss, o-I4-'o6
To Whom 1t May Concern:
We have purchased from Berry
Bros three gasoline engines ranging
from two to ten horsepower. For
small power and economical work We
do not think they can be surpassed.
We have one engine running our
band, rip and one circular cutoff saw
and it has never given us moments
trouble In this connection, how
ever, vii say that we would feel safer
in giving Berry Bros. an order for
their engines, because they are thor
oughly posted on the construction
of the engines they sell and we know
to our knowledge they have never
failed to make their engines run or
to give satisfaction to purchaser
where they have installed same. And
they guarantee all engines installed
and recommended by them to prove
satisfA tory.

not be seen with the cubs this season. He
also said he would be on hand and be hard
fighter In the race for the championship.
The national commission will meet at Cincin.
natl Jan. II instead of the 18th, as formerly
wac announced. The change of date Is due to
the fact that the minor leaguers viii send a
committee before the committee to discuss the
new plans for drafting. The 18th is the usual
date for the meeting, but this year it was de
cided to wait until the meeting of the minors
was finished, but the sending Of the committee
before the commission will not necessitate the
change of date.
The vanguard Of the minor leagues will ar
rive in the city on Sunday, as meeting of the
constitutional convention will be held then
This committee is composed Of J. H. Farrell

Chicago, Jan. Announcement Of the effort
to preserve the Washington park racetrack and

south of the tract to activity to bring about the
final parceling of the land. The first steps

At several meetings to be held within the next
few days, the Southsiders will plan to compel
the South Side Elevated Railroad company to full
fill the provisions of its franchise by building
a station at st. Lawrence avenue and Sixty
third street. Until The park is divided into
building lots the population contiguous to the
elevated line increases. 1t is not incumbent on
the company to place station at that point.
If the club members persevere in their an.

perm anency of the tract as park the residents
threaten to begin condemnation proceedings tt
have the land subdivided. The plan, however

The Yale men are evidently accustomed to
having the rules interpreted more freely than
they are in the west. They fouled continually
and 1t could be seen that they were playing as
they had been taught. The trick that cost them
the most was catching their opponents by the

trick called continually and each time the
