Manchester, in Adams county, has a
cOlOred baseball nine that has been
beating everything in Southern Ohio,
says the Ohio State Journal. Not long
since they sent word to West Union,
the county seat of that county, that
they wished to arrange for a game
with the colored boys at that place.
Although West Union had no regularly
organized nine the challenge was ac-
cepted. A team was gotten together
and put to practice.
The day for the game arrived and
the two teams met on the Fair
Grounds. The West Union boys had
several players in their team who
had never been in a match game and
knew as little about the rules as they
did about playing. One of them was
Pete Johnson, tall raw boned darby
who was assigned to hold down first
base. Pete's hands were as big as d
barn door, and when he opened them

To the Voters of School No. 10:
/ noticed an article In the Logan

being discontinued, to mfslead the
voters at the next school election, July
20, 1911, when they will vote on the
question Of locating Z site and build
Ing new 5000 school house at Lo-
gan This is the plan on the part Of
several notwithstanding the hard
times, and our taxes are likely to be
double, altho they are plenty high
enough now.
Two members of the school board
made levy of $500 this year, which
is LOCO more than was ever levied
before. 1t looks as though we will
soon have from $25 to $50 taxes on
each quarter, the same as Sawyer and
Surrey. Wake up before It is too late
and vote against such graft. There is
no more use for q school at Logan
than for a cat to have two tails. We
have three school houses in the south
half of the township, and they are
talking about building another one In
the south half close to the township
line. II the present scheme Is push
