yves, very fdentially-that Cor
don had quietly entered the little
towrs of Newman, Ca, and did then
and there pluck from said town one
of its most attractive and valued jew
els, an offense for which there seems
to be no legal penalty-it ali being in
the hands Of the parties to the Of
tenders (?). Well, in nutshell, it
was a marriage. The bride was
Miss Ella Martin. The marriage was
indeed quiet one, having been wit
messed only by few particular
friends and home relatives. Mrs.
Griffin. the bride, has already made
many friends here, and Gordon wears
a smile all over his face, and any
one acquainted with Gordon, or has
seen him will not be surprised at the
dimensions of the smile.
To say that crops in this section,

considerably ahead of any year in lhe

continued much longer may seriously

speed was wonderful, and he kept his
hits far apart, but he walked two in
succession, who were advanced a base
on a sacrifice and scored on a timely
hit 4 similar performance scored
another run for the Electricians.
When Flowers got them over, there
was mighty little doing for the visit
ors. Thackham famed four times,
and there are six more strikeouts to
Flowers credit.
The feature Of the game was a triple
play. the first made in the league this
year, which the Game Cocks made.
All the sacks were covered when
the batter famed, Stephens shot the
ball to first, the runner was playing
off. This forced the runner off at
third. who was promptly caught by
Dingle. and by some bone-head base
running the runner on second was
retired by Sunater's redoubtable third
