splendid reputation up and down
the valley as being fine town for
baseball, Manager Murtha is daily
receiving kilograms from the best
amateur teams in this section of the
state for games to be played with
the newly organized team. Last
night game was arranged with the
East Stroudsburg Normal school
team, to be played at the new West
Side park. Stroudsburg is one of
the fastest amateur aggregations of
ball tossers in this section of the
state and in a recent tour through
this section they demonstrated their
ability to play ball. They played
a 13-inning game in Honesdale and
also played very close game with
the Archibald team.-Carbondal

Farmer Dennie drove to Way
mart one day last week and pur-
chased a No. l hayrake, but before
leaving town with his rake tied to
the rear end of his wagon he stopped
at Merchant Dimond's to inquire the
price of eggs and, finding the egg
machine was still out of repair but
under way of being repaired, he
made up his mind to hustle home
and gather up a few dozen of eggs
before the machine raised the price,
not thinking of the rake until he ar
rived home, when, to his surprise,
the rake was missing. Going back
over the road about one-half mile,
he found the rake turned out of the
road in as bad a shape as the egg
machine at Merchant Dim0nd' S
store, minus the tongue.-Steene
