STILL WINNING THE GAMES.
 Southford played the Oxford and Quaker Farms nine on August 12, beat ingthem by a score of p to 5 in favor of Southford. The manager, Mr Ol- sen, of the Oxford and Quaker Farms nine has asked for a return game but the Southford players object to this strongly, for he needs at least another year or two to give him time to get his players together and teach them the game.
 Southford played the Stevenson mime on Saturday, August 15, winning by a score of to 1. This is one of the best local hines that has ever played on the Southford grounds. They put up one of the best games that was ever wit messed in this vicinity. There was a. good part of the Stevenson nine that could not seem to find the ball that was pitched by the Southford pitcher,, O'Neil, the great college pitcher and short stop when striking: at the ball. was so slow that the catcher had the ball in his hand at least two minutes before he struck. McDonald and Thompson cut the wind and dug up, the dirt and still could not find the South ford pitcher. James Roche, the great Derby first baseman played. with the Stevenson nine and was cracked up to be one of the greatest players in the state, but the best part ofchis' work was to stand and talk. The Southford nsme has beaten this team three times. In the first game that was played at Zoan Bridge Southford beat them IA to l2. The second game played om the Diamond Match Co., grounds was won by the Southford nine 8sto.6s The third game played on the same grounds, score being to l m favor of South ford. As this team has been beaten three times fair and square by the Southford nine the Southford players object to playing them any mora. While the Zoar Bridge nine brought an umpire with them he refused to- take the position. therefore Southfard had to get an umpire for them.

A CORRECTION.

To The Editor of The Newtown Bee {: It may seem rather late to correct the statement in The Bee relative to the death by lightning of Raymond Hallock, son of F. L. Hallock. but think 1t best to do SO. It was stated that the lightning came into the window but that is not SO; also that his mother was the only one that was in the room at the time; not correct. His oldest brother and little girl less than four years old were in the room with him. The rest of the family were in the kitchen. The lightning struck the telephone wire somewhere west of the house, it being branch of II. 0. Av' eril's line. The wire was fastened to the southwest corner of the house. The charge of lightning followed the wire till it struck the fastening. There il split, part entering the paror west room and cracking the walls and paper badly. The rest of the charge followed on to the telephone where it came through the walls in several places, tearing off piece of wood from the castings and threw it across the room and they think it struck the little girl as she cried out as if hurt. The sand from the walls filled Raymond's neck and face full and blacked one side of his neck as he sat in chair and was killed in less than three minutes. They tried to bring him to life but no helr they and the doctor could give could save him. His heart beat three mn. utes-[S. August 10, 1908.

"Blind TOM" OF Thomas Virgins,

born a save near Columbus, Ga !,

had heard played by others. In 1861
he became SO proficient on the instru-

and exhibited.
Though "Blind Tom" made fortunes
for the men who managed him, he
