Mason and Huber, New
Material Used at
Last Game

The game of ball between lone and
jackson was won by the home team,
by score of IL to II. In the first
inning Jackson brought home runs.
This was due to bad playing of Ione's
infield. Arditto pitched for Jackson,
Cromer was placed on first base and
Dick Fortner caught. Huber played
short stop and made good. He is a
new player with the team this season.
Myers played his last game Iof ball
with the team. He managed to show
2 runs on the score card for himself.
His runs could always be depended on,

Zeila Sunday last at the local grounds
near the Kennedy mine.
They beat the Zeila miners by a

third inning by catching hot lire
ball, with one hand. The Kennedy

own located directly below the mill.
They have as fine an infeld as any
team could wish, and the outfeld is
not the worst. The teams new suits
were worn for the first time, they are
gray blue with the word Kennedy

bosom. Red caps and red socks make
up the rest of the uniform.

ENGINE TO HAUL LOGS
Large Traction Engine Does
Fine In Mountains

j. B. Parsons who has been fixing
up the roads to the mountains for the
purpose of hauling logs for the mines
by means of a traction engine, started
on the business of log hauling by this
method last Monday. The engine
hauls as much, if not more, than ten
or twelve animal team. 1t pulls two
heavily loaded wagons. The road in
places is narrow for this method of
transportation, notwithstanding the
labor that has been spent upon it.
Whether the venture can be made a
financial success is problem that will
require little experience to answer,
but the one who has initiated this pro-
cess over the rough mountain roads is
deserving of credit for his bold enter

Italian Opera Enjoyed

The Italian opera selection rendered
at Loves hall last Saturday and Sun
day evening were all that could be
desired. Jackson music lovers were
indeed fortunate in having such classic
singers entertain them at home, and it
was certainly to be regretted that the
audience was not what it should have
been. The city needs treat of that
kind about every several weeks to
keep awake the malady that fingers
about the music lovers heart.

Mrs Mary Burlington was stricken
with paralysis at her home on Summit

confined to her bed since. The attack
has affected one side of the face. She
has been under the care of a nurse
since the affliction. We understand

the seriousness of the case.

The nickel in -the-slot machines, hav-

Jackson, are gradually disappearing
from the city. Many of them were

the owners are packing them away

A GOOD FARM.
Better Than Profession If Young
Man Has Pluck and Energy.

Man Has Pluck and Energy.
From the Louisville Courier-Jounal.
An Indian octogenarian who has made
big fortune by farming urges young
men to go to the farm instead of seek
ing 10 enter the professional walks OF
life" The professions, he tells a CORE
spondent of the Indianapolis Star, are
overerowded; he knows thousands OF
young doctors and lawyers who are mere
ly eking out an existence The veteri-
marian OF to-day. he asserts, is making
more money than the family physician.
OF the farming proposition in general
the Indian authority remarks that If the
young man viii mix brains with his
farming a few acres will suffice. Forty
acres In this day and time is too much
for one man to handle; twenty acres is
enough In France more than 100000
freeholders own fewer than four acres
apiece. Near Indianapolis a five-acre
farm devoted to dollhouse products yields
an income Of more than 5000 a year.
"A little farm well TILED" Is a good
source OF income. few acres tended
with judgment viii make the owner
good living, but the farm is no place for
the man who is looking for easy money
A mixture Of brains and industry viii
make a success on the farm, as else
where, and, all things considered, there
is no occupation that offers a safe and
sane living with the same amount of in
dependence.
The advice OF the Indiana octogenarian
is good. The country needs more farm
ers, and the young man who really feels
himself competent 10 farm would do well
to negotiate for few productive acres.
II is better. however, that he should
clearly understand that he is not likely
to get rich quick or to attain even a mo-
dicum OF success, unless he has an album
dance Of physical energy and an innate
love for the soil. More than that, he
must feel reasonable assurance that he
will be content with the simple life of
the farmer and with the somewhat mo-
notonous routine Of the farm In agTi-
cultural enterprise. as well as I'm other
vocations, It is well to look before you
leap
