BASEBALL SUNDAY.
The Lovelock Team Will be
Here Sunday to Play
the Rubber.

The Lovelock baseball team
will play the Fallon nine Sunday
in this city. These clubs have
already played two games, each
team having a victory to its
credit, so that Sundays game
will be hotly contested, as it may
be the last of the season between
the mines and will decide the
supremacy. Tom Sanford and
Fred FRANKIE raised $100 in a few
hours Monday to defray the
expenses of the game, and the
willingness with which the citi-
zens came through with the coin
proves that they are going to
take deep interest in the contest.
1t is expected that there will
be a record crowd on hand to
witness the game. Many will
come from Saltwater, st. Clair,
Hazen and other points. No one
should miss this game. 1t will be
exciting and hard fought from
start TO finish. Come out and
root" for the home club and
send Lovelock home with a
basket of eggs.
The F'allon Commerc al Club
Band will furnish music on this
occasion.
Next month Miss Maud Baker cf
Callahans, Siskiyor coInty, California,
will arrive in Fallon for visit at the
home OF her sister, Mrs. Percy b.
Kinney. Miss Baker is said to be one
of the most beautiful young ladies Of
the Golden State and was some time
ago awarded diamond ring in a beauty
contest gotten up by one of the San
Francisco papers.

Manted...Warren E. Brayton.

Mrs. James Musselman, form
erly Mrs. Huldah S. Brayton,
would like information as to the
whereabouts of her son, Warren
E. Brayton, who left Woonsocket,
Jerauld county, South Dakota,
about twenty years ago, and
went to the Black Hills. At that
time Warren was about 20 years
old. which would make him about
40 years of age at the present
time.
Mrs. Musselman says that her
son wrote home off and on for
about a year and a half after
going to the Black Hills, but at
the end of that time all commu-
ceased and she has not
heard from him since and does
not know whether he is alive or
dead. Brayton worked in the saw
mills in the Black Hills. His
right arm was tatooed with
colored Indian inks.
Any information that will place
the mother in communication
with her son should be addressed
to Mrs. James Musselman. Fallon,

LETTER TO CHIEF WEIGH
Clarksburg, w. Va.

Dear Sir: The easiest why We
know of to make little money is
II you are goint to pnlnt--to paint
with the paint that takes least gal
Ions.
Take small Job; say it take 10
gallons Devoe, two coats; that's an
average house. When the Job Is done
and the bill comes in, it is $50; tho
paint, etc. $3.50; the rest Is for la
bor and carriage; the labor is fixing
the surface, shifting ladders, scat
folds, pulleys and ropss, and BRUSH
ing on paint.
Take another job exactly like that
try another paint; it takes IL gal
Ions. The bill is $40 more. Take
another exactly the same; another
paint; It take 90 gallons, The bin Is
800.
There is only one Devnc; there's 4
dozen 12-gallon paints, and 100 that
take 20 gallons to cover ten gall
lon job.
The only difficulty is in finding out
the Devoe. After that you save work.
there's less work in 10 than in IL or
20 gallons; less paint to buy and less
to brush on and less wages TO pay
II Devoe were only a little better
than Others, there would be some diff
fculty in finding out the difference.
Ii goes twice as far as half the paints,
that ought to be easy.
1t wears longer 100. You'l wait a
good while, II you wait to find out
how long 1t wears: there are thous-
ands of people who know that the
least-sallons paint wears longest
Yours truly,
&c L. w, DEVoE & Co,

Mr.. Whiting Benefits The State

In the matter Of the acts of the
Town Council being invalid since
1904 because only four councilmen
were elected when the law specified
that six should be elected. Mr..
Whiting, the Town Attorney. re-
calls the fact he had made a state
ment to that effect 10 the Town
Council in December last after re-
ceiving the Virginia Law Register
for that month which contained
the decision of the Supreme Court
in case (known as the Pamplin
City case) in which the court
quoted the law referred to. He
informs us that he was we'll aware
of the law referred to, but did not
consider that it referred to Ber-
ryville until the Supreme Court
rendered its decision in the Pamplin
City case. A number of towns of
the State were affected by the
decision, and when Mr.. Whiting
sent his bill to Senator Parks to
have the acts of the Berryville
Council since 1904 validated it was
Immediately seen by Senator Parks
that Luray was also affected, and
the bill was changed so that it would
validate the acts of all the Town
Councils of the State which haC
not complied with the law provid,
ing that six councilmen should bt
elected. In that way. Mr.. Whit
ing benefited the entire State, fol

Dr.. Osborne 10 Remain Here

For some time it has been
rumored that DR.. \. p. Osborne
contemplated leaving Berryville,
but when the COURIER man called
on DIR. Osborne last Saturday and
asked him to give us the facts, he
stated in the most positive terms
that he did not contemplate leaving
Berryville. He said:
Il have no intention of leaving
Berryville; l have made many
warm friends here; | am pleased
with my surroundings and practice;
! came here with the intention of
locating permanently, and l am
located permanently
The COURIER man was delighted
to receive the above assurance from
DR.. Osborne, a we consider him
one of the best physicians in the
Valley and feel that his removal
from our town would leave a
vacancy hard to fill.

Business Booming at BOyce

Business is booming at our
neighboring town of Boyce, and
the citizens of that hustling little
city are pushing their town and its
advantages to the front at every
opportunity.
Sir. Willis Suddeth, of the firm
of II. &. Green & Co., is building
q residence.
Mr.. Nj. j. Dunlap, the popular
and efficient agent of the n. e w.
is building a residence.
The contractor for the new
Boyce High School building is
pushing work ON that structure.
Ground for all the above struc-
lures was broken last week.
Mr.. NJ. l.. p. Reed, Assistant
Cashier Of the Boyce State Bank,
was in town Monday, and, when
asked To give the COURIER a state
ment of the banks business since
its opening on March 10, said that
the business of the bank so far
totaled so, 1853, as follows.
Assets - Expenses Insurance., ,
Sl7I32; real estate. $4,24S. 40;
Bank of Clarke County, 81, 592 9S;
cash in bank. Sl.439. 80. Total,
S1O.45S.39.
Liabilities-Capiial stock paid
in, 50, $4,000; exchange. $3.50: de-
posits. So, ,1O4.79. Total, $40. Ass. 80
That is good showing for this
new institution. and its officers and
directors are to be congratulated.
The town of Boyce has some of
the most public-spirited citizens
whom it has ever been our pleasure
to meet, and when anything is sug-
gested for the welfare and develop
ment of their town, everybody
combines 10 push the movement
forward with financial and moral
aid.
1t is very likely that the next
session Of the Legislature will be
asked to authorize the incorpora-
ton of the Town and the election
of Mayor and Councilmen.

;nC the expeditures of n Council in
one wear To the funds raised for that
yc,r was overlooked both by the
Council and the bankers. and il
would have, been impossible forthe
hanks to have collected their money
without the law which authorized
the Town to borrow $4,000 To pay
olT It's floating debt.
We have since been Informed by
the legal representatives of the
local banks that they consider the
above article Iibelous. inasmuch as
they claim we have (by Inference,
at least) made it appear that the
officials of the banks were guilty
of gross negligence in accepting
questionable collateral for the
money loaned the town.
These representatives inform us
that they had not overlooked any
law governing the collateral which
they accepted from the Town; that
said collateral was good, and that
il could be collected at any time
they called for payment.
We hereby tender apology to
the banks and their officers and
make full retraction of any part OF
the article which might he con-
strued as accusing them OF negli-
yence. We had no idea of accus-
Ing them of negligence, and cannot
81 construe the above paragraph;
but as the banks have 50 construed
the article, we offer rctraction and
apology.
