At the court house last Tuesday the
first big gun of the local option cam

grand charge. All prominent citizens
spoke and many made speeches that
we're never known to appear on the

though they were entering upon a great
fight the victory OF which ment more
than could be told in the words used.

Harrington
Is the Moses" to Lead the
Richmond Ball Club Out
@of The Wilderness"

1t was an enthusiastic meeting of the
directors Of the Richmond Base Ball
Club last Saturday eveniag ut the Elks
club and as the night went on the en-
thusiasm strengthened.
The meeting was called by Ex-Manager
Greenleaf for an understanding as to
just what was going to be done this sea-
son and TO appoint a successor to him
self an manager. Judge Greenleaf, NJ.
C. Kellogg and T. J. Smith, three of the
most loyal fans who have labored un-
iiringly for the success of the team for
the past two years, declared that they
could not give their time and attention
this season, under any consideration and
it was up to the directorate at this meet
ing TO choose leader or quit. Many
enthusiastic supporters of base ball were
present, including Col. "Bill' Order,
who declared there must be a team 10
represent Richmond in the Bluegrass
league and he was willing to do anything
to promote the cause. Others not mem
bers of the directorate also spoke and
pledged their support.
Several committees were appointed to
retire and select man to take the lead,
but all those selected refused to act in
that capacity. Ii was growing late and
Judge Greenleaf declared that something
had to be done or else sheriff's sale
would take place within few days and
this would positively be the last meeting.
Mr. Harrington was suggested A COM
mittee waited on him, but he refused,
saying that business matters over which
he had no control would not permit of
him accepting the honor. Everyone
present seemed to realize that the
Moses" had been discovered and strong
influence was brought to bear on him
to take the place. 1t was plain he was
the only man and the situation was grow
ing desperate. 1t was either do some
thing then and there or, no base ball for
Richmond in 1911. Mr. Harrington re-
allied the situation and addressing
those present, declared if it was a case of
patriotism, he could not shrink and if
they wonld stand by him during the
season he would give his best efforts.
There was loud cheering and the meet
ing adjourned after few business mat
tiers were arranged. Richmond has the
brightest outlook of any team in the
league, for the reason that she has not
sold all her good players as the others.
Everything will be arranged for early
training. If you are true fan, make a
donation to the club and show that Rich
mond is willing to support team that
will be winner. Mr. Harrington being
law partner of Judge Greenleaf, gives
him an excellent opportunity for an ex-
change of ideas, "a the Judge is well up
on inside" base ball and the best moves.
An expert demonstrator will be in
charge at Sewell & McKinney's store
Thursday and Friday to show the excel
lent qualities of Sniders specialtieS.

Ex-State Senator George I. Farris, OF
Lancaster, who represents one OF the
largest wholesale furniture concerns in
the country, was in Richmond last FRI

friends. He is interested in the local
option fight here and if necessary would
return at a moments notice and speak in
the cause for local option,
He is the ''Father" of the first real 10
cal option legislation ever passed by the
Kentucky General Assembly and has
done more, perhaps, than any other man
in the state for the County Unit idea;
Senator Farris was born in Madison
county and lived for many years at Sill
yer Creek. When young man he
learned TO like the Juice of the corn
and would often come to Richmond and
get on hilarious loot wi h several
com rades.
On December court day in 1877, he
was in Richmond and at the court house

organization which was known al that
time as the Francis Murphy movement,
was winning hundreds 10 the cause. The
Senator said he had a bottle in every
pocket and six shooter on each hiT
when he arrived in town that day, ano
he dropped into the court house TO heal
this great temperance lecturer, whose
name was Winzell. Afterihe lecture h'
gathered several friends to his side am

Eggs are cheap, the local produce peo-

can dish them out at Is cents and then
make a little profit. Colt Bros. shipped
three car loads of eggs to eastern mar

price and the market bids fair TO be a
