team of the State.
The playing of the Colonels is so we'll
known over the'country that comment
is unnecessary. Credit is due Mr.. Rob-
ert Reed, of this place, for getting up
the game and making all necessary ar
engagements. He raised the 5000 de-
manded by the manager of the Colo
nels and stood for the other expenses,
and naturally it is gratifying to him to
know that there was a sufficient sum
taken in to pay all expenses and little
the rise.

portions of the county that cows are
given but little milk. A light rain fell
