her Vinol. and the effect was marvel

thrown down and clubs taken up.
For short time nothing was heard
but the squeak of the rats and the
wells of the participants and spec

large rodent ran up Henry Ker-
foot'S trouser leg, but Henry was
50 badly scared and trembled so
violently that the rat was quickly
shaken out, and killed.
After the battle a pile of dead

High School Entertainment Friday.

Next Friday, commencing mt 80
p. m, the Literary Society of the
Berryville High School will Give
Especial program in the Auditorium
forthe benefit of the Baseball Team.
Among other things. the pro-
gram will contain special vocal
and instrumental music. a debate
by four members of the Senior
Class in English on the subject.
Resolved. That we should have a
compulsory education law" and
two scenes from Macbeth by a
number of boys Of the Junior
English Class.
Ii is hoped that the patrons and
friends of the School will aid the
boys by large attendance.
1t is hoped 10 raise sufficient
money TO purchase uniforms for
the team.
The boys have voluntarily con-
tributed small sum each month
this session, until now the treasurer
has a sum with which to defray
incidental expenses.
Last year, with no money, and
with outfits borrowed from the
Town Team, and with little prep
aration or practice, the High School
team played a number of match
games with teams from neighbour
ing towns and came off victorious
in all but one.
When the receipts were not
sufficient to meet expenses, Pro
fessor Farmer made up the amount
from his own pocket. and it is to
be hoped that he will not be called
upon or expected to do that this
season.
The uniforms will not cost a
great deal. and in view of the sue
cessful work by the team last year
and their strenuous efforts this
term, the friends and patrons of the
school are urged to give literally to
to the cause 10y their patronage
and support, so that our High
School may not be different from
other schools in this respect.
While the admission to Friday
entertainment will be only &c and
lOc, anyone wishing to give a
larger sum to the aid of Baseball
Team can hand same to either of
the ushers, and it will be promptly
turned over to the Club Treasurer.
