The Grand Free Barbecue, held
on Saturday, July 18th, on Tom
Suck, was a glowing success, only
one fight occurring to ma the oc-
casion, and that being all on one
side and of short duration. All
present seemed to enjoy them
selves hugely.
The religious revival, which has
been in progress at the Methodist

White, of the White & Hummel
Mfg. Co., who was taken to St.
Louis some five weeks ago, for an
operation for a tuberculous hip
joint, has SO far recovered as to be
able to return home, the operation
being entirely successful, and al
though the head of the femur was
entirely removed, the operating
surgeon, DR.. j. j. Link, says the
lad will have a pretty good leg.
Our postmaster, w. L. Bays,
has been making an improvement
in the shape of a porch in front
of his living rooms, over the store,
but on account of the slope of the
same, it will be necessary for him
to brace his feet to keep from slid
ing off, when he sits out in front
of an evening to enjoy the cooling
breezes.
The corn crop is suffering con-
siderably in this section, and &C.

Obituary..

Died-At noon on Tuesday,
August 8, aged 8 years, 4 months
and 2 days, little Macie, daughter
of Walter and Emma Ruble, of
Corridor. The sickness and death
occurred at Annapolis, in the
home OF Mrs. Ruble's parents and
the little one was laid to rest in the
cemetery there.
A year ago the baby received a
fall from which it never recovered,
Its sufferings it bore with uncom-
planning fortitude. She cried but
little. During her long period OF
affection her faithful parents did
all they could to relieve the suffer-
ings and to give her pleasure.
Little Macie was a constant
source of sunshine. Her favorite
song was 81 am going home to
glory in that good old-fashioned
way" This song she requested
to be sung while she was on her
final illness.
Monday she passed into a stupor
which continued until Tuesday
noon, when she opened her eyes,
reached her little hands into the
air, smiled a welcome smile to the
invisible callers, and passed away
with them. She was like a little
flower loaned to us but a little
while that we might enjoy its
fragrance, and then transplant into
Heaven to shed its sweetness there,
She was a beautiful baby, even
in death, and the sweet smile she
wore in life left its impression on
the corpse after the soul had
slipped into its Heavenly gar
ments. Let us not complain that
she is gone but rather be grateful
that she was loaned to us even so
long a 8 she was. The fairest jew
els Of earth remain here but a little
while--God takes them unto Him
self that with them He may en-
belish the City that abides.

Annapolis News.

Cool nights, hot and dry days.
; The boarding cars are still here.
We have one crew raising track
and putting in ties-about thirty
five men-and one other boarding
car. Their work is loading up
ties along the railroad. About 80
men and women-with white
bosses for the gang. There is
another crew that is called the
painting crew and their boarding
cars, and the grading crew that is
made up around Annapolis and
vicinity, with about 20 or 80 men
and IS teams, all told. And all
men who want work need not be
afraid to ask for it. If they don't
want work they had better pass
them by. There is also a survey
ing gang here on the road.
DR.. O'Bannon and wife returned
home yesterday. He has been
absent from this place preaching
at Pilot Knob, Irondale and else
where, and reports a good attend
ance at Irondale, Mo-, in the Holt
ness cause.
Elmer Declore, our railroad
night agent, is still on duty here.
He has been on duty at this place
place for about eighteen months,
also his best girl is here teaching
the primary department of our
school and from all appearances
they may stay with us.
Well, Mr.. editor, our road over
seer is putting our roads in good
condition, but has NO help. The
most of the road men have receipts
for work done on the roads here
and the present road overseer,
David Paris, has not many men
in his road district to work, and
by that way of doing u roads
will get very little work this year.
Charley Hampton has a very
sick child at present.
Mr.. Russell has a very sick
child.
Mrs. William Kelly is on the
sick list. N. A. Farr is the attend
ing physician.
Esquire Kitchell has the water
melon trade. Has sold over two
hundred melons in the past week
and fifty of them were the meanest
melons ever brought up the Iron
Mountain railroad. He bought
fifty more this morning and hopes
to dispose Of them before the
melon season is over. His ex-
perience in the watermelon trade
enables him to always have first
class stock.
Mrs. Ellen Carter, Dora Garter
and @. L. Collins were down from
Sabula to have some unfinished
work done on pension voucher.
S. Kitchell is badly outed in the
shipment of bread. 1t is put on
the express train, dumped off al
Des Arc, or Gads Hill and stays
there two or three days to be
claimed, before forwarded to its

into and looks as though the hogs
had helped themselves to some Of

HARVARD BUSHES TWICE
 OVER DARTMOUTH GOAL LINE.
Score 12 to 3-Hanover Eleven Scores
 on Captain Tobin's Place Kick.

Dartmouth's goal line was crossed for the first time this season on Sat- urday, when Harvard scored two touchdowrs in the second half and de- feated the Hanover team 12 to 3.
 Dartmouth was stronger than against Princeton, but had nothing that made the Crimson team show it's full hand.
 All the Harvard players came through the game in good shape, with the exception of Captain Fish. who retired after the first half, after re- ceiving two severe blows in the chest.
 Throughout the contest Harvard, without showing much more than straight football made steady gains through the Dartmouth line.
 The Crimson team seemed slow to show it's real worth except in emer- gency, but displayed great reserve power and an almost impervious de- fense
 The first half was practically a bunting contest, Ingersoll of Dart mouth outkicking Minot of Harvard. The loss, however. was almost imme- diately regained by rushing. Helped by Dartmouth tumble on the Greens 30 yard line early in the second half, Har- yard in nine rushes crossed Dart months goal, Frothingham making the first touchdown. P. Wilmington boot ed an easy goal.

 The Mohicans received the ball on the 40 yard line and by great work on the part of Fielding, L'Heureux and Wagner the ball was rushed along to the two yard line, where they lost it on a tumble Here the Cannonball team punted. the ball going offside. After the ball was brought back, the Mohicans received it on downs, and it was at this stage of the game that L'Heureux made the drop kick for a gooal. Score to 0.

From tthe middle of the field the Mohicans by clever work landed the ball on the Cannonball 10 yard line, giving LHeu- reux the change for a drop kick that missed.

MICHIGAN SURPRISES PENN.
Westerners Win on Philadelphia Grid
 iron, 12 to 6.

Michigan's heavy football team. coached by Hurry Up Yost, outplayed Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on Sat urday, winning it's first victory on an eastern gridiron by the score of 12 to G.
 Michigan scored the first touchdown within two minutes after the game started. Braddock, for Pennsylvania. in running back the kick-off fumbled and a fleet Michigan end fell on the ball 30 yards from the Quaker goal. A line play gained ten yards, and then Allerdice shot forward pass to Mich igan, who was across the line before a Pennsylvania man could lay hands on him.
 The second touchdown for Michigan came soon afterward, and was earned by hard playing. in which the heavy Michigan men gave a great exhibition of how to carry the ball.
 Near the end of the half Pennsylva- mia got the ball on Michigan's 40 yard line, from which they carried it over by a steady series of small gains through pounding the line. Hutchinson carried it through center for a touch down and Braddock kicked the goal.
