BURLINGTON. Aug. 19.--Manager
Dick Rohn yesterday closed a deal for
the sale of Center Fielder Glare Pat
terson to the Oakland, Calf, team of
the Pacific coast league. The price is
S1,250 cash and Patterson will start
for the coast tomorrow morning.
Patterson is one of the best feeders
in the Central association and likewise
a master with the stick He was
bought outright from Quincy by Man
ager Rohn who had been camped on
his trail for some time. The local
manager Is one of the best "pickers
OUT in the business. II man has any
class whatever he is quick to detect
it, and 1t was not necessary to exer-
else any particular astuteness to take
the measure of Mr.. Patterson, al
though several other managers failed
to do so.
Manager Rohn regretted to part
with Patterson at this interesting
stage of the race, but he was compe's
ed TO do SO as measure Is prnteo
ton. The draft season starts tomot
row and Patterson could have been
drawn by some big league arbitrarily
for the trivial sum of $500. And it does
not require much figuring to detect
the difference between $3.50 and 5000
and the fans in general will be pleas
ed to see Manager Rohn profit by the
deal. He has two good ball players on
the road now to join the team and will
continue his fight for the pennant just
the same. His ability to pick up good
men has been demonstrates and he
guarantees that the team vtil not be

MIR. Turner's Public Spirit.

The prize winner in the trades
display of last year was that exhibit
ed by the Corner Store, and, had it
not been damaged by the rain, the
display that was arranged by Mr..
Turner for the parade this year
would easily have been one of the
prettiest creations of the kind ever
seen in Edgefeld. The design rep
resented miniature store in which
the entire salesforce were to ride,
and the decorations consisted of the
latest and prettiest novelties in no.
tions and dry goods. The miniature
store would have been drawn by
four white horses, each being in
charge of a liveried driver. Much
of the decoration was the handi-
work of Mrs. Turner who is ex-
ceedingly gifted in the decorative
art. For public spirit and progres,
siveness Mr.. Turner is among The
leaders in Edgefeld.

A Progressive Organization.

One of the prettiest and most
suggestive floats which did not
reach the fair on Friday was that
of the Johnston Young Peoples
Branch of the w. G. T. U. The
thirty-fve young people who COM
pose this branch had been working
faithfully and enthusiastically, and
anticipated delightful time at the
fair. The design was large world
balancing on the other side of the
float, a basket of boys and girls
with the question which is worth
more, the boys and girls or the
world? This float was somewhat
mutilated by the rain, on the trip
from Johnston and could not be ar
ranged for Saturday, but has saved
enough of itself to be ready for the
parade next year we hope.
Mrs.,J. A. Lott and Mrs. J. Z.
Dobey directed the decoration of
this artistic float, and deserve great
credit for their perseverance under
such untoward circumstances.
The officers of this organization
at Johnston are as follows: Stanton
Lott, Pres; Beverly Epes, Rec. Sec.:
Bette Beckham, Treas; Fannie
Pratt Andrews, Vice Pres. Antoi.
