American league team winning the

at good odds if they care to back their
sentiments. A Cincinnati bettor will
lay to that the Red Sox do not finish
first or second. He is also willing to
lay the following wagers: One hun
dred and fifty dollars that Detroit will
beat out Bos ton; the same amount that
Detroit beats out the New York Yam
KEGS, and 800 against 5000 that Chi
cago White Sox finish ahead of New
York. He will bet $3.50 against 800
that Washington finishes ahead of st.
Louis and 5000 or more that the Ath-
letics win the pennant next year.

farmers are protesting, as the inspector
did not make the contractor build the

inspector would not have been appointed
by the commissioners if it had not been
for some of our citizens. He has lived

feet wide. but 1t is only eleven feet
and eight inches wide. The farmers
know of many places were the gravel
and Stag is so thin that they can dig to
the bottom of 1t with their finger.
Some of the hot days the inspector sat
in the shade of Ed. Coles barn. Some
days the inspector would not go out
to work and would stay at home. Some
of the road was built without planks
at the side to hold the gravel The
farmers are wondering whether the
contractor gave the inspector leo swag
to arrange this. The farmers have toIu

right and he took off his coat and told

they went on the other side of the

he is very handy with his fists and the
farmers had better keep out of his way.
