AS the baseball season approaches
the question naturally suggests itself,
shall the town be represented on the
diamond this summer? Many of the
business men, both manufacturers and
merchants, believe that the best in
terests of the community are promoted
by the maintenance of a baseball
team, it having worked to their ad-
vantage heretofore. The laboring
people are interested in having a
ball team represent the town, as has
been shown by their most liberal sup
port in past seasons. A public meet
ing will be held in Eaton's hall
Thursday evening, April 2. 1t is
hoped that there will be large at.
tendance, and the same spirit shown
as during some of the games played
with our old rivals from Monson.
This will mean that when the um
pire says "Play ball" " Stafford will
be there with the goods.
