SequaChee End Team l3;
Pleasant Grove, g.

The Sequachee second team took its
fourth consecutive victory off of Pleas
ant Grove Saturday afternoon, win
ming IL to 8. Sequachee had its own
way with the Pleasant Grove team nm
til the last three innings, when the
visitors started in with a vim, but
failed to make enough scores to close
up the gap. E. Barrett was in the
box for Sequachee, and pitched good
game. Ramsay officiated for Pleasant
Grove and had a swift delivery. Pleas
ant Grove was strengthened with three
new players, and put up better field
ing game. Lasater and A. Barrett
made some nice plays for Sequachee in
the field. A considerable number were
out to see the game, which passed off
very quietly, no rowdyism being in
dulged in.
In the morning of the same day some
of the second team played practice
game with the second team of Jasper,
which was en- route to Whitwell to play
there, and played nine innings to tie,
and ,. Jasper scored one in the
tenth, and the game ended as mis-
taken idea is prevalent that the team
getting first score after nine innings of
play gets the game. This is the case
only after even innings have been play
ed No half innings count, as that
would be manifestly unfair.
The second team and Coppinger Cove
will again get at it on the local dia-
mond next Saturday. Coppinger Cove
is strengthening up, and will make a
desperate effort to defeat the second
team.

MAN FROM
CHATTANOOGA
JAMES BENEDICT DROWNED
IN INDIANA FOLLOWING
SIGNIFICANT DREAM.

PETERSBURG, Ind, July ST.
James Benedict, while swimming in
White river about two miles from here
on Thursday night, was seized with
the cramps and drowned in deep wa
ter, the body having been recovered
yesterday. The strange thing about
the affair was that Benedict had
dreamed the night before that he had
met watery grave and had been
warned by his friends not to go swim
ming. He recently came from Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, and was soldier in the
Union army. He was 68 years old and
had been single for number of years.
He was shoemaker by trade
Mr.. Benedict was from Jasper and
lived there many years with the late
Billy Thornton, of whom he was a
close friend. He was we'll known in
this county and at one time ran cob
bling shop at Whitwell.

MODERN IMPLEMENTS.
Make 1t Possible For the Farmer te
 Dispense With Extra Help.

The scarcity of help on farms may ultimately drive landowners to greate economy and to d more general use Q devices and eonYeniences which light en the work T is surprising how many aim to get along by muscle Howel alone. never trying any other method which might save half their work
 An old farmer says that his neigh bors called him lazy when he first brought hay loader on his farm, ana when he rigged up cable and used | trip hay fork to unload his hay he had d crowd of neighbors around him ssiust to see how il worked.
 The economical and up to date farm CT counts all of these labor savers just that much of his equipment, and it + only by using them that he is enabled to meet present conditions. The walk. ing stirring blow and walking eulti vators are back numbers. Now the suIky or gang plow is used, and three biz, lusty horses will turn over three or four acres q day.
 A manufacturer has got out rotary harrow, which is attached to the blow and the land is turned and narrowed at one operation If any man is tusii fled in venturing money it is the farm CT when he invests it in up to date tools and implements for more rapid and better work on the farm.
