AT PEACHAM.
Notes from the M. E. Church,

| ing one, as exciting as the result was un-
expected. Up to the fourth inning the
game was very even, the two pitchers,
Bailey and Hawkins, keeping the score
well down. The fielding was very keen,
but in the fifth inning the Green Bay
boys made ten runs and the opposite side
became demoralized. The final score, 35
to 26, showed the way the lead was i'm
proved on. There was large attend
ance of people from all around, the
sterner as well as the fair sex being we'll
represented. One hundred sat down to
the good dinner provided by the Ladies
| Aid of the Methodist church. The result
of the game opens the way for the rubber
which will be played Saturday at the
Corner common. The boys are playing
better base ball every game and very
keen game is promised for Saturday.
Every man will be at his best and the
umpire will have no snap. The ladies Of
| the Methodist church will serve dinner
for Is cents, and ice cream will be on
sale in the afternoon instead OF evening
A collection will be taken to defray ex-
penses instead OF the usual admission fee.
The Town Library.
The Steele store, so called, which has
recently been purchased and fitted up for
library building, is rapidly approach
ing completion. Already the new books
are in place on the shelves and patrons
are drawing books. The most attrac-
tive feature of the new library is the
reading room, which has been fitted up
by Mrs. Laura E. Palmer at her own ex-
pense as tribute of respect to her hus-
band, the late Frank E. Palmer, who in
his lifetime was always friend and
patron of the library. Mrs. Palmer has
had the room painted, papered and kali
somined, and furnished with an elegant
table of quartered oak, with four chairs
to match. and another easy chair for the
bay window; fine hanging lamp and
portiers, separating the reading room
from the main room. The patrons of
the library are much pleased with these
added facilities for reading.
