Death at CampbeIisviIIe.

Fannie. the beloved wife of Mr.. J. s.
Suits, Campbellsville, died at her late
home Wednesday night of last week.
She was victim of a Cancer and was
sorely afflicted for seven or eight years.
Her husband did everything in his pow
er to prolong her life, much of her time
during her illness, being spent in Louis
vile and CINCINNATI where she was
treated by the most eminent physicians.
She was the youngest child of the late
Ferdinand Heistean, and was born and
reared in Campbellsville where she had
many friends and where her death is
deeply deplored. Her husband is al.
most comfortless, as no children are
left to cheer his lonely hours. There
is One, however, who can give comfort,
and to Him we would admonish the sor.
rowing husband to go and with a con-
trite heart ask for the balm that will
heal bleeding heart.

Base Ball.

Quite an interesting and close ball
game was played at Greensburg last
Saturday the 10th inst, between Buck
nersville and Gresham local base ball
teams. While the Bucknersville boys
claim a victory of 6 to 4, we beg leave
to differ since the umpire was a citizen
of the Bucknersville vicinity, and his
partiality to them could be plainly seen
by all present. He did not only give
them all the close decisions, but also a
couple that were wholly inconcistant,
this being the only thing that put them
in the lead. Our boys all did excellent
playing, but the leading feature
throughout the game was the pitching
by Johnston. who won the admiration
of all. He certainly held the Buckners-
vile boys down nicely, she's little
too stiff, for them, they can't quite hit
that twirl," and they can no longer
boast of having players who never fan
for their first six men were put out in
that way and the total number of fan
ming and striking out was 10 times.
Doesn't that seem like Johnston knows
his business?
To make long story short the game
was ours although the umpire decided
it agaitst US. x
