There Is talk on the streets to the
effect that there will be a test of the
constitutionality Of the act that seeks
to extend the limits of the Yorkville
school district to two and a half miles
from the court house.
Some of the boys claim that IL Jim
Beckham could have ridden Roth's
thoroughbred colt I the tournament
the other day, he would have made the
course in less than six seconds and
taken all the rings just the same.
Miss Rosa Lindsay has sold sew
eral hundred post cards Of the Con-
federate monument and has quite a
number on hand. They constitute a
very nice advertisement for Yorkville
and should be generally scattered.
- The assignment of the third place
in the tournament the other day to Mr..
A. S. Barron was an error that was
apparent on its face. Messrs. F. E.
Quinn and ]. P. Allison having tied for
the second place. the settlement of the
tie in favor Of Mr.. Quinn left the third
place to Mr.. Allison. Mr.. Barron was
fourth.
The work on the addition to the
Neely Manufacturing company's plant
is being pushed as rapidly as possible
and will present quite handsome ap-
pearance when completed. The front
Of the building. looking south, will be
two stories high, finished with concrete
blocks and will contain rooms for Of
fees for the president, secretary and

There was quite a large congrega-
ton at the Associate Reformed church
last Sunday night on the occasion OF
the first of the Union meetings to be
held during the months Of July and
August Rev. H, ]. Cauthen Of the
Methodist church preached, and he
held the close attention of the big con-
gregation with a sermon Of unusual
power and interest.
There Is to be q ball game at the
Park Thursday evening at O'Clock
between "Johnson's Specials" and the
''Yorkville 23's," as the local team has
been dubbed for the occasion. Ben
johnson Is manager. The line up Is to
be as follows: "Johnson's Specials
S. c. Wood, catcher; John G. Barn
well, pitcher; ]. H. Carroll, 1st base;
w. S. Neil, End base; Roy Carroll, Bird
Clark Adickes, short stop; w. H. Nc
Corkle, left field. Walker Latimer
centre field: H. p. Stowe right field
'Yorkville 23's"-Gaines, catcher;
Howe, pitcher; Berry, 1st base; Dob
son, I'd base; Willis, 3rd base; Hern-
don, short stop; Cartwright, left field;
VIII Lowry. centre field; B. Smith
right field. The team designated
"Yorkville 23's," is the regular York
Vile team, and the line up given above
seems to have grown out Of chal-
lenge to the effect that it can be clean
ed up by an organization that has not
heretofore practiced together.
- The election last Friday on the
question Of levying and collecting a
tax of 3 mills on the dollar Of the prop
erty within two and a half miles OF
the court house for the benefit Of the
Yorkvile Graded school district, re-
suited in the polling Of "a Of about 3Ot
qualified votes in the area. OF the
votes cast So were in favor Of the tax
and SO were against it. AS to the prob
able leaning Of a majority Of the 200
who remained away from the polls, II
is rather difficult to say anything fur
ther than that their attitude does not
indicate a great deal Of enthusiasm
over what many Of the most thoughtfu
people of the community regard as
miserable situation. Some Of the ex-
pressed opposition to the tax came
from reluctance to pay the same, some
was by way of protest against the
management of the school, and some
because of the manner in which the
limits Of the district were extended
without consulting any considerable
number Of the voters and property
owners affected.
