BREMEN TEAM
BEATS P. H. S.
IN BASKET BALL GAME BY
THE SCORE OF
13 TO IL.
Game Was First of Season for
Locals-Sophomore Girls
Defeat Juniors.

In an exciting and very close
game of basket ball, at the new
Armory Thursday afternoon, the
Bremen High School Team, de-
feated the locals, by the score
of 13 to II. The teams evenly
matched. The Plymouth lads
played an aggressive game
throughout, suffering with bad
luck in throwing baskets. The
game conferred about the visit
or's basket during most OF the
game. There was no spectacular
playing on either team, brilliant
plays being promiscious by their
absence. 1t was the first game of
the season for the locals, and
their showing is considered
creditable. At the end of the first
half the score was to s, in ia
vor of Bremen.
Before the basket ball game,
game of Newcomb, was played
between the Junior and Sopho-
more girls, on the high school.
The game was won by the So
phomores, by the mighty score
of 73 to &c. AT least that is what
the score keeper said it was. The
object of the game is to throw
the basket ball over a rope drawn
between, and above the opposing
teams, and cause the ball to
touch the floor in the opponents
field, thereby scoring one point.
If the ball is caught it is return
ed in like manner. The high
scores indicated the number OF
tfmes the ball did touch the
floor, plus the number of fouls
by the opponents. The atten-
dance at the game was good.
The Plymouth basket ball team
was composed of Guards-Floyd
kebert and Robert Long, Cen
ter Conroy Eley, Forwards OF
to Kruger and Herlas Poor.

BILE in every case if the neighbor
sees fit to make complaint.
The bulletin received by the

large amount of mail matter that

to one patron getting another S

the error b the authorities. In
many instances valuable mail is
lost. The governments remedy
for the evil is the $500 fine. This
applies particularly to mail taken
by mistake from postofhces
boxes and not returned.

received word that the fine for
perjury in mailing first class
matter as second or third class
or fourth as third, etc, will be
raised from $40 to 800 after Jan

they transacted all the business
difficult as some of it was, is
worthy OF all praise, and taking
into consideration the fact that
all their expenses and services
were paid by themselves, and
that is shown by their report and
is known of all men that there
was not one cent OF graft in the
whole transaction from beginning
to end, and a history of their Ia
bors is worthy of being perpetu-
ated for all time TO come.
That the people may know
something in regard TO the dispo-
sition of the money the following
is copeid from the conclusion of
their report:
"The said Trustees deem it
proper to give a more specific ac-
count of the disbursement of the
public moneys available in con-
nection with this work and 10
that end they submit the follow
ing financial statement:
To B. c. Southworth &
Son contract, price of
monument and chapel. $1S75.O0

Expenses of dedication. ..I52.10
Total. .$2,179.20
All of which was allowed and
has been paid.
The total amount appropriated
in connection with the work of
the Trustees as set forth in the
aforesaid Act of the General As
sembly; was $4,000. Deducting
the amount allowed and paid as
aforesaid, there still remains of
the appropriation unexpended
the sum OF $32O.S0. The State
Auditor passed on the bill and
disbursements allowed aud paid
in connection with the work of
the said Trustees, and the balance
remaining in the State Treasury
to the credit of the fund appears
to be $320.S0.
1T seemed appropriate and was
the wish of said Trustees to de-
vote the unexpended balance of
said appropriation to the beautifi-
cation of the ground set apart for
said Monument and Chapel and
convert the same into a little
park. To this end IT was thought
advisable to have the place sodd-
ed and enclosed with a suitable
iron fence, it being supposed that
its attractivensss could thus be
materially enchanced and beoom-
ing appreciation manifested of
its having become public pro
perty. On reference of the matter
to the State authorities, however
it was decided that said surplus
could not be thus expended.
"Tlhe said Trustees, therefore,
respectfully suggest to the Gov
ernor that he bring the matter
to the attention of the next
General Assembly and recon-
mend that proper action be taken
to transfer said unexpended bal
ance of the appropriation to the
use OF the aforesaid Board of
County Commissioners for the
purpose indicated, said Board
having the legal custody, care
and control of said ground mon-
ument and chapel.
All of which is Respectively
Submitted.
