1t is little amusing how chick
ems will come home to roost. When
the last republican convention wat
held the reformers introduced the
following resolution.
'sWe are opposed to the appoint.
ment to federal judgeship of corpo.
ration lawyers whose environment
is such as to create distrust OF
weaken public confidence in cases
where such corporate interests may
be involved
The Bon Homme county delegation
fought this resolution but it was
adopted. Now vacancy is soon
to occur on the federal benc h in
this state. Many Of the sup.
porters of this resolution are great
admirers of j. D. Elliott and are
endorsing him for the position
yet Mr.. Elliott is general attorney
for the Milwaukee, railroad com.
pany for North and South Dakota
but this resolution, intended to
serve only as a slap at Pres. Taft
now hobs up like Banquo's Ghost
to haunt them.

POCA WINS
ANOTHER GAME
Takes Game From RiChwOOds by
Score Of Fifteen to One

The game of ball played on the
local diamond last Friday between
Pocahontas and Richwoods resulted
IN a victory for the home team by
the ore s!fed score Of Is to /.
The game started off nicely and all
expected to see pitchers battle,
but the home boys got to Prater,
end his support became ragged and
from then on and 1t was only a ques-
ton of how many runs our boys
would score. The numerous errors
made by both teams didn't figure
materially in the run getting, with
the exception of the run scored by
Richwoods,. which came in when
Douglass let a wide one get away
from him. Angle pitched shut out
ball, allowing only four hits, one a
scratch, and striking out sixteen
men. Prater had the strikeouts to
his credit.
Features of the game were Angles
pitching, Andersou's timely hitting,
and the fielding of Stewart and
Presley. A noticeable feature of the
game was that not a single base on
on balls was given during the
game. The visitors took their de.
feat good naturally aud there was
no contentious whatever.
Pocahontas has lost oily one
game this season, and if the boys
keep on improving, we should have
one of the best teams in North East
Arkansas in the near future.
Another interesting game was
played on the diamond at this place
last Wednesday evening between
the Pocahontas and Hoxie teams,
the former winning easily, the score
being to 2. Pocahontas has good
material here and our citizens are
becoming interested and they will
organize at once a fast team, taking
some of the boys from the country
into the club.
