YESTERDAYS RESULTS:
Columbus 8
Meridian o

Well! we didn't get but "15"
hits yesterday.
What about Demaree's no hit
no run game yesterday? Guess
he isn't down and out yet, as
some people seem to think.
Jackson begins a series of five
games with Columbus tomorrow.
Two double headers will be
played if the weather premits.
Meridian took the game Thurs
day from the DISCOVERIES by a
score of A to 0, while the game
Friday resulted also in favor of
the Blue Ribboners by a score of
2 to one.
Downing our regular catcher
was out of the game Thursday
on account of a sore finger.
Ling, who usually plays first,
went behind the bat, and was
playing good ball until one of the
Meridian players knocked a tip
foul which glanced Ling's ear,
causing the doctor to have to take
several stitches in it. Ling
reached this city Friday after
noon, and his many friends are
glad to learn that his injury is
much better. He will probably
play in the game tomorrow.

The Woman'S Stores
Challenge Sale.

Begins Wednesday August 10.
This store put on it's first chal-
lenge sale today, August 16, five
years ago. 1t was the first time
in Columbus a sale of blankets,
outings, percales and other early
fall goods had ever been inau-
gurated so early in the season.
The sale proved such a marked
success that Mr.. Leigh has re-
peated the sale each August
since and each year the sales of
the store increases over the same
month of the year previous. 1t
shows that people will buy for
future wants when sufficient in
ducement is offered. The sales
of such merchandise is by no
means new in the commercial
world; for it has been the Gus
tom for many years for the big
city stores to conduct such sales
in August and if you go to the
big cities now you will find that
practically all the show windows
of the big dry goods establish
ments are filled with blankets,
comforts, and other fall mer-
chandise. At this season of the
year it is most too late for the
sale of much summer stuff and
rather early for fall goods unless
merchants offer such goods at a
sharp saving in price. All up
to-date stores are willing to sell
on a very close margin during
this, one of the dul |
months, in order to keep
their force employed and
keep the business wheels turning.
The people c f Columbus and
vicinity have learned from past
experience that what Mr.. Leigh
states in his advertisements are
facts not fakes and when he an
nounces a special sale they ex-
pect and know that they can buy
of this store standard and re-
liable merchandise considerablely
under priced. By reading over
the page ad in this issue of The
Commercial you will note the
sharp savings this store offers to
shoppers this week. By visiting
the store you will find every item
as advertised.

CAMP NOEL RESOLUTIONS.

Camp Noel, Aug Il, 1908.
At a meeting of the Confeder-
ate Veterans of Lowndes county,
this day held at Camp Noel, the
following resolutions were unar-
imously adopted:
First. Resolved: There is due
to General Keesler, ana his staff,
an expression from US of our
high appreciation, of the elegant
and sumptuous dining this day
enjoyed by US, as their guests,
at their hospitable table.
Second. Resolved: Perhaps
the most desirable wish we can
extend to them, is, That should
our Country ever call for them
for the stern duties of war, their
skill and courage in battle may
equal the easy, cordial, and ac-
complished courtesies extended
to us on this occasion.
Third. Resolved: That we ex-
tend to the 18th U. S. Cavalry
Band, a keen appreciation and
thanks for the fine music fur
nished by it, and which contribu-
ted so much to our enjoyment.
Fourth. Resolved: That the
committee be directed to furnish
General Keesler and the Band
with a copy of these resolutions,
the city papers of Columbus and
the Commercial Appeal.

CAMP NOEL
is DESERTED
National Guard And Regulars Broke Camp
Friday; The Former GOiRg Home The
Latter 10 Fort Mcpherson, Ga.

The most successful encamp-
ment Of the mississippi National
Guard was brought to a close at
an early hour Friday morning
and by noon the members had
departed on special trains for
their homes, while the Regulars
went to Fort Mcpherson, Ca,
where they will spend the winter.
The last days of the encamp-
ment have been the most pleas
ant to every body but especially
to the spectators who have
watched with unabated interest
the evolutions gone through with
by the soldiers and noted the
great improvement made by the
National Guardsmen during their
stay in this city.
The occasion throughout has
been a delightful one and will be
pleasantly recalled in years to
come.
A hope has been entertained
by some that Columbus would
be selected as the permanent 10
cation for the annual encamp-
ments, but this is hardly proba-
bic as the Government seems to
prefer having the Guard from
the various states assemble at
same central point, viz: Chicka-
mauga for instruction. But
should this not be done there are
other places in the state wanting
the encampment and the boys
doubtless would like to make an
occasional change. Columbus
will be glad always to have
them here and will ever extend a
welcome hand.

The Bachelors Excuses.

Got The Wrong Door.

They were newly married and
on honeymoon. They put up
at a SKIP scraper hotel. The
bridegroom felt indisposed, and
the bride said she would slip out
and do a little shopping. In due
time she returned and tripped
blithely up to her room, a little
awed by the number of doors
that looked alike. But she was
sure of her own and tapped gen
tly on the panel.

weight weighed over a thousand
pounds.
The clock was installed sever

wire cable that supported the
weights was broken but the cause
is unknown unless there was a
weak place in it.
