Brothers realized that Richland par
ish was the center of the great hard

they, being at that time interested in
several large mills in various sections

several thousand acres, with the In
tention of manufacturing in the fu-
ture. This timber has been increas-
ing in value from year to year, but
these gentlemen knowing that the de-
mand for the manufactured product
is very great, have decided to eStab-
lish a mill in Rayville under the
name of the Richland Lumber Com
pany. The mill will be located in the
eastern part of town and will cover
a tract of forty acres, "a acres OF
which was bought for $40 per acre.
and the remaining 16 acres for SIS
per acre. They paid $500 for a right
OF way three and one.half miles long
and 80 feet wide and will erect a rail-
road and run a train from the mill
to the heart of the forest. They have
$4,000 acres of timber to draw from.

by each nine IN the first inning.
Scheneburg was on the slab for the
Paris team and notl another run got
over the plate fer the Colts.
Everything was running smooth
until the fourth inning, the Lexington
fans being very noisy and confident for
two men were out and two on bases,
with happy Doyle working we'll in
the pitchers box, Barnett had two
strikes and seemed to be gazing at a
big sign on the fence "a box Of blue
ribbon twist for home run" One
fioated over to his liking. He caught it
square in the nose. Left fielder Tate
turned and made a desperate run to
the fence and then turned, looked up
and saw the bal; go over the fence
about ten feet to the good. He threw
up his hands and looked beseechingly
to the grandstand. In the meantime

TUESDAYS GAME.

The Lexington Colts were here again
Tuesday and put up a stubborn fight,
for eleven long exciting innings but
could not win, the score being to 2,
the game being called on account of
darkness.
Simms was in the box for Paris, be-
ing relieved in ninth inning by Scheme
burg. The change was made to streng-
then the batting line, but it was
not in the cards for Paris to win. Rob-
bins, the hoodoo to the Bourbonites,
was on the slab for the Colts until the
ninth, when he became angry with the
umpire and retired in favor of Frye.
The BOurbonites were unable to get
a hit when needed was the cause Of
Paris not winning. The home team
had five different chances when hit
meant a run and the game, but failed
to get the hit, or even bunt.
About six hundred fans were terri
bly, disappointed, for they should have
won under the circumstances. The

Prisoner ESCAPES.

Will Leer, negro about "a years of
age, was arrested by Officer Ben Bis
hop, on Tuesday, charged with forgery.
He was taken before Judge Denis Dun
don and his trial set for yesterday.
Not being able to give $500 bond Off
Ger Bishop proceeded to jail with him.
He had arrived at the jail door, when
Leer suddenly sprang over the railing
of the porch and dashed around the jail
building. Leer was faced on the other
side of the Jail by the steep wall, which
he first attempted to climb, but chang
ed his mind and darted back, crossed
Houston creek and became lost in the
high weeds that line the creek bank.
Bishop took shot at the fleeing
prisoner to stop hi n, but il had nc
effect on the desperate young negro
and he kept going. He was tracked
to some distance in corn field but
managed to escape.
Leer had forged the name of A. w.
Cottingham to a check for S25. He
had been doing some white washing
for Mr.. Cottingham at the Paris Dis
tilling Company. The check was pass.
ed through the bank and was discover.
ed by Mr.. Cottingham, who happened
to be looking through his old checks.
Leer had just returned ONE from
the Frankfort penitentiary, where he
had finished serving mis- second term
He will no doubt be captured in {
short time, and a life sentence for hin
| will be insisted on by the officials.

YESTERDAYS GAME.

The Bourbonites visited the capital of
the State yesterday and won from the
champions in a twelve inning game by
score of to 2. The old reliable Dug
ger was on the slab for Paris, while
Baker did the twirling for Frankfort.
Paris started the run getting by scor-
ing in the second inning, making one
more in the third inning. lJo runs were
made then by either side until the
eighth inning. Frankfort managed to
get men on second and third, and a
tWo-bagger put them over the plate.
This ended the run getting until the
twelfth inning. The Paris sluggers
then went to work and batted Baker
at will, four runs coming over the plate
in quick succession.
Piepho, the umpire, gave close de-
cisiol in favor of Paris during the
game and the fans attempted to mob
him after the game. He was escorted
from the grounds by the ball players.

Laying Of the Corner Stone o.
Masonic Temple.

The laying of the corner stone of the
new Masonic Temple building at Little
Rock, this county, took place yester-
Gay with impressive ceremonies, al
though the rain poured in torrents.
Grand Master Virgil P. Smith, Of
Somerset. presided, while the exer-
clses were in charge of Deputy Grand
Master Robert B. Burnam, of Rich
mond. The Paris, Carlisle and Mt.
Sterling Communicates were present
and formed in line land headed by
the Paris ElkS band marched to the
site of the building, where the exer-
cises were held.
The rain began to fall in torrents
just at the close of the exercises. The
proposed new structure will be hand
some two story brick building, the up
per floor being used by Hope Lodge,
No. 246 F. & A. NJ. and the first floor
by the Citizens Home Bank, of Little
Rock.
After the laying of the corner stone
the ladies served dinner in a large to-
bacco barn near by. 1t was bounti-
full and royal feast, and the hospitali-
ty of the good people of the Little
Rock neighborhood will be long re-
membered by the visiting Masous
present.
In the afternoon at the Christian
church addresses were delivered by
Past Grand Masters Howard r.
French of Mt. Sterling, Sam K. Veach.
of Carlisle, and John Ramsey, of

of the series of three games with the
Lexington "Selling Platers." called
Colts.
Net much talk doing but at the same
time the Paris management seems to
be awake. Bescher, a fast second
baseman and outfelder, and Bates. a
crack pitcher and outfielder, both of
Ohio. are expected today. Keep your
eye on the Bourbonites.
Ike Price presented Barnett with a
new shirt yesterday morning for the
Lexington home run. MIR. Price has a
standing offer of a shirt or every home
run on Paris grounds, but he stretched
the limit yesterday as he is such an
enthusiastic fan.
A special train will likely go to
Frankfort today with over 100 Paris
rooters to witness the.ga
Tomorrow will be ladies day at the
Frankfort ball park all ladies will be
admitted free TO the grounds and also
to the grandstand. A special train will
leave Paris at p. m. and return i'm
mediately after the game. The round
trip fare will be SLIGO. Lets send a
bunch over. Fans, don't go 1t alone,
take the ladies with you.
Dugger's many admirers among the
fans think he is being overworked by
the management. Looks like "riding
good horse to death. When not on
the slab he is put in the field and
when a runner is needed Digger is
sent to first to run. He is without
question the best pitcher and all round
ball player in the Blue Grass League
and deserves better treatment.
If one hundred persons can be secur-
ed to make the trip to Frankfort today
there will be a special train run over
the F. & C. railroad to the capita
city to witness the game of this series
between the Bourbonites and Law
makers. The fare will be reduced to
81 for the round trip and the train viii
leave Louisville and Nashville depot
promptly at o'clock. Parties desiring
to go are requested to leave theil
names at the pool room of James
Wills, either by phone OF IN person, as
Early as possible. Every local far
who can possibly find it convenient
should go on the excursion and root
for the home boys.

GOOD ROADS DISCU sSED.

(From the ST. Johnsbury Caledonnn)
In another column will be found an
editorial from the St. Adams Messenger
and another from the Mortified News
Oh the subject Of Vermont roads The
two editorials represent two conflicting
policies OF securing good roads in this
State, The Messenger and quite num-
Der OF influential citizens woul,; have the
State incur a large Indebtedness and
begin the construction OF trunk macadam
roads. This as the Mortified News sug
gests is not the policy OF the present
State road commissioner and we believe
is not the method desired by a large
majority OF the people of Vermont
Perhaps the difference OF opinion is the
result Of different ideas as to what CON
stitutes good roads. To the class call
Ing for trunk lines OF permanent high
way nothing but macadam Is good road
while other people believe that good dirt
or gravel roads are good roads
We accept the latter as the correct
one for Vermont. Anyone at all familiar
with Vermont roads can recall many
sections OF highway OF dirt or gravel
that are good roads the year round
Between them are sections OF road that
are not good roads at any season OF the
year To build trunk macadam roads
would mean the tearing out Of the poor
and good sections of the highway alike
and rebuilding them at great cost
Gates Is to leave the good sections of the
highway rs they are. dnless minor re-
pairs are necessary, and thoroughly re-
build the poor sections. In this way the
state Is getting good roads much faster
than 1t could by building continuous
lines OF macadam road and at much
less cost, Vermont will do well to take
full advantage Of Its natural good roads
and road building material to it's fullest
extent and continue its stone road work
to the poor sections for the present and
1t will soon BIO able to boast of good
roads secured at the lowest possible
cost.

Don't they realize" queries the es-
teemed contemporary. that If the
mountain rule were abolished the
east side patriots would mold all the

holding most Of the Offices most Of

TO this the sage Northneld News
replies, with pregnant suggestion
as to mountain scaling: Instead of
grumbling about what can't be helped
the Banner had better try to induce a
few east side patriots into its terri
