Two new families have lately moved
into the pleasant village of Minister
Finks and Bars, and the strange part oi
it is that they live side by side. Finks
have four school children and have prom
ised to send them to school this week.
The little Bars are too young 10 go,

Thomas Miller has erected new fence
around his lot and it looks fine. He was
assisted by Claude Littlefield.
Last week the wind caught the foot
bridge just right and after il scared up
toward the sky as far as the wires would
permit, it came down and the strain was
too great for the anchor on the east side
and ring broke releasing two wire Ca
bles. This put the bridge on its edge
and made it impossible. Our red boat
was launched and the traffic taken care of
until the bridge was repaired, two days
after the break. Thomas Miller was on

Claude Ltilefeld and o. E. Rupe t
went to Kellettville Friday night to assist
in the play THE Prisoner of Anderson
vile" by The Msyburg Dramatic Club.
They report it very good play and well
rendered by the club, which is being
compimented by all who hear it. The
Kellettvile audience was very much in
terested while the play was going on, and
the club received many congratulations
after the play. The only draw back was
the scarcity of music between acts, all
caused by the pianist being absent and
there was no time TO get another one in
line.
There were only few of the voters at
the election held at Lynch from this place
as all we're busy.
The younger element are adjusting
their fishing tackle to try for the speckled
beauties this week. We are hoping that
they will not take short fish, for exper-
ience has taught US that they are costly.
Two of our friends have been soaked for
more than a hundred dollars within the
last three years. Verify some OF us could
not stand crack like that with potatoes
so high.
o. E. Rupert went to Blue Jay last Fri
day to meet Norman and Bert Gilbert,
two former Gusher boys. "Norm" used
to play the violin, with Rupert at the
piano, for the natives of that place. Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Wolfe, and Mrs. A. Show
ers and daughters were there. They all
went to the residence of d. l.. Bean and
played the same old tunes as in the days
of yore. 1t was fine aud took us all back
twenty years, when we were all there at
Gusher and enjoying life with few cares.
Miss OLIVE Blum Spent Sunday with
the girls at Kingsley and had fine visit,
coming up in time to take up her studies
on Monday morning.
We have very good school here this
winter, having two rooms, thus giving
the teachers better chance to handle so
many pupils, which if all were in one
room, would make bad mixture, as the
teacher would have to miss some classes
| one day and miss another next in order
to handle them.

No criticism has yet been made in
these columns as to the quality of
baseball presented by the league. In
deed. the games have been uniformly
good. and the patrons have been well

failed the sporting editor of this paper
owed duty to the readers OF The
Times Dispatch. 1t Is his duty TO not

reading public the exact state of af-
fairs To say that the games played
are league games is obviously foolish,
for. even admitting that the league
will be reborn. how could the percen-
taEe IF the newly recruited members
be reached. Would they be given the
same percentage as the club at the
head, or would they be placed at the
bottom. or would mean be struck?
Any one OF these methods would be
unfair.
The only thing which could be done,
presuming that there will yet be an
other league. is for each club to start
fresh. fight the battles over again, and
let the best club win. To do otherwise
would infict penalty on the new
members. make the race one-sided and
detract at the beginning from the in

how can tho games be classed as

1t is doubtless true that the players
Will work as hard and will use every
effort to win just much II the
games were league games. 1t is also
likewise true that the people who at
tend the games will get their moneys

they will not count. Every fan In

offered TO Buffalo The probability at
this time is that, should there be n
revival OF the league. that Cleveland
will be taken back, under different
ownership.
AS late as Tuesday 1T had been de-
termined to send the Chicago club TO
Pittsburgh and leave Richmond TO
play with the makeshift organization
in Washington. Mills objected and
stated his objections In emphatic
terms to President Whitman, the result
being that the Chicago club Is here.
Waning finances may be revived by
the game to-day. AT least that is the
hope.
At Pittsburgh the final determine

found who is hluninS and who Is real.
