The ball game here next Satur-
day promises to be one of the hair
raising variety. Philip has good
team, but if they 20 into the game
with the idea that they have found
something easy, they are liable to
find themselves mistaken. Prac-
ticee and good management is
developing the fact that we haye
had, all the time, some good base
ball timber right here at home and
didn't know it. Baseball fans are
sure to see a good game here Sat

buildings under construction con-
tribute much to the towns ap-
pearance. This fall we are in
hopes of building q school house
large enough to meet all require
ments for several years, and have
it as modern as possible under the
circumstances. As soon ~ lots in
the resident addition to tho town
are put on sale, several modern
houses will 60 up. Here We might
incidently ask who said our boom
