call on James Claypool Thursday. A
very enjoyable time is reported
The local bunch of ball tossers did
splendid work in their game with
Thomas, played here last Saturday.
Everything was on the move from the
time the game started until the close.
The boys did not bother to swat the
lilies as our newspapers are advising
SO much lately. but they did pound
the balls that came from the pitchers
box, and the score was 10 to 2. In
fairness to the Thomas team we will
say that they are probably handicap
ped some by not having had the prac-
tice they should have had, but they
are good bunch, and we want to
see them again. We play them
return game at Thomas, Saturday,

The o. e. Nelson store building is

some time, is gradually improving,
and her friends hope for complete re-
covery soon.
Mr.. Bronson has returned to Ster-

our canine friends left.
