Wentworth Loses Second Game.

Although the Wentworth rooters
tried continually to worry the team
representing the Missouri School for
the Deaf at the academy ball-farm
Friday the mutes turned a deaf
ear to all demonstration and con-
tinued to fulfill their duty of piling
up scores at the same time prevent
ing the cadets from piling them up.
At no time during the course of the
fray were the cadets very dangerous
though once, in the sixth, the teams
we're tied up, I to I. From the first
it could be seen that the mutes
were going to have an easy time.
For the first few innings Upton
pitched his usual good ball but he
received support of the FUNNIEST
three-for-a-nickle sort. Richardson,
on second, was the worst offender,
missing four chances out of FIVE in
the fourth inning. The first four
scores credited to the mutes were
due to errors and only one earned
was secured by them.
In the beginning of the sixth, the
soldiers came to bat with the
thermometer standing Z to 3 with
Wentworth in the shade. A single
and a double placed men at the ard
and End stations. Crawford picked
up a willow and smacked the second
ball thrown a fearful wallop on the
nose scoring two men. Ahrens' pinch
to right was the means of crossing
two more and the next two men ex-
pired with the score a tie. The
inger-talkers then settled down and
scored a more runs in the next two
services. A feature Of the game was
the batting and fielding of Kelly.
The score:

Interview property owners hold

for the purpose of obtaining addi-

they desired about two acres of
his land lying south of the cem-
etery. Whereupon that gentle
man astounded the good ladies
with the statement that he would
donate the land to the Cemetery
Association. Inasmuch as the
town council expected to have to
buy this property, and Judge
Prices generous gift relieves that
necessity, the Mayor and Board

Dear Simmons: IL learn that
you called at my Office yesterday

ingly that ! failed to meet you.
/ went direct to my home, stop
ping in my Office only a minute or
two late in the evening, and did
not learn until this afternoon that
you spoke in HazIehurst last
night. From a gentleman who
was present at the speaking who
was in every way a competent
Judge, ! learned that you made a
good speech. He seemed better
pleased with your speech than
with any of them.
You must be in the second race.
1t looks now as if the second race
will be between you and Webb.
IL it should be, you will win out
easily. From all that / can learn
you are by far the strongest man
IN this county. Shelton is strong
in the western part of the county
but will get but few votes in the
east. You have made good
impression wherever you have
been. If the people could meet
you and hear you | feel confident
that majority of them would
support you. There is, however,
great lack of interest among the
people, generally.
Assuring you of my best wishes
