Cheaper Groceries.

There has been lots Of talk
here of late about the High Cost
Of Living" and we are inclined to
believe that many people in the
neiehborhood Of Baxter are not
keeping themselves posted on the
prices that prevail here with many
of the merchants, especially those
that are to be had at Dents.
Mr.. Dent tells US that a few
days ago he was fortunate in find
ing one Of the -four mills out in
Western Kansas that had too much
-four and mill run feed, and after
considerable correspondence he
managed to buy their entire lot at
considerable less than the market
price. He has now decided that
instead of stacking it up in the
warehouse to wait for the price to
advance to sell it and give his Gus
toners the benefit Of his lucky
buy.
For example-He will sell bran
and shorts mixed, called mill
Run" in 500-pOund lois at $1.1S
per hundred, and from what we
understand this is less than it can
be bought for in car lots today
He also told us that he is going
to sell for a short time some
Guaranteed Kansas Hard Wheat
Flour in lots of 500 pounds or
more at $2.35 per hundred. OF
course this price will be with.
drawn as soon as their present
stock is gone, in which case. if
any of our readers are going to
buy their -four for the winter, it
will be well for them not to put it
off, but take advantage Of this op-
pOrtunity today. 49,
Potatoes are something that we
find are being sold very low for
this time in the year. Pure Red
River Minnesota Early OhioS are
being sold at Dents in lO-bushel
lots or more at zoe per bushel.
Others are asking ST for potatoes
not nearly so nice as these.

MOLESWORTH'S BIG STUNT WAS WHEN HE FIRED ELLOITT
JUDGMENT IN "CANNING" "ROWDY" ELLIOTT
 NOW COMMENDED HEARTILY Y
WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN FLAG WITH ELLIOTT WORKING AS HE WORK ED FOR NASHVILLE

Various fans will give various reasons as to why Birmingham won the pennant of the Southern league this season.
 Some will say that the hitting of Me Gilvray and Almeida turned the trick. Others will contend that the pitching of Foxen, Smith, Boyd and others was re- sponsble. Others still will give credit to the speed of J. Johnston and his eoni- rades. And each man might be correct in his contentious.
 But the writer believes that despite the excellence of the players mentioned above, the flag could not have been won had Earl Fleharty and "Rowdy' Elliott been on the local payroll The former a pitcher of marked indifference, was canned last season, and immediately afterward Birmingham's stock picked up. I he latter, formerly brilliant catcher, was sold in the spring just prior to the beginning of the current season.
 In connection with the disposition of Ell lott, there is an interesting story. In the spring, Manager Molesworth was in consultation with Robert H. Baugh, pres ident of the local association. After dis cussing several matters, he said: Tt is ny opinion that Elliott is without an equal as a catcher in the minor leagues. But I have made up my mind to get rid of him.
 Mr Baugh replied: well. if you feel as you do concerning his ability, and are still determined to sell him, l must say that I admire your nerve"
 
 Molesworth then explained that his req son for desiring to can the catcher was due to his belief that the player would tear up his ball club. It is not known whether or not Elliott is responsible for the showing of the Nashville club this season. But it is indisputably true that whereas last season he was the best re- oeiver in this circuit, today he is as juicy a demon" as ever went ''unsqueezed."

Philadelphia, September 15.-Pitts- burg won it's tenth straight game here this afternoon when Carey sent a home run drive into the left field bleachers in the tenth inning making the score to 5. Donlin was put off the field by Umpire Brennan for kicking when called out at the plate in the ninth inning and a few minutes later the same official banished Walsh for pro testing when called out on strikes Philadelphia played a fine uphill game and tied the score in the ninth inning The home team used four pitchers and had IS players in the game.

This afternoon will occur the last game of the season of 1912. The Barons meet the Bllkens on Redwood Field at S,31 o'clock.
 Manager Dobhs will bring his aggresa- ton to Birmingham today at noon. It Is very probable that he will send his strongest slagman to the hill in order that he might defeat the Barons In the final game of the season even as he de- feated them in the first.
 The Barons are not superstitious, and do not believe that just because they lost the first game of the season they will lose the last. And what is more, they are not fearful to announce that FoXen, who opened the season, will close It. For Bill is going to pitch, and if every indication holds good, he will win.
 While nothing Is dependent on the out come of the game the fact that it will be the last will cause many of the dyed in the wool variety of Eye fan flock to troop to Redwood.
 The Redwood band in all it's regalia will be on hand with special programme

IDLE GOSSIP FOR FANS
By C. W. GREER

You simply can't tell about this old base ball game. Bristol, the recent pennant winners of the Appalachian, a Class D league. in a championship series with Roanoke, the winners of the Class c Nir- ginla league pennant. walked away with the series, winning three straight games from the Virginians. Now Knoxville, an- other aggregation of the Appalachian cir cle, is to tie up with the Southern leaguers of Chattanooga in a post-season contest. While the odds favor the followers of Billie Smith, the minor leaguers are like ly to throw a surprise into the Chatta- nooga camp-who knows?
 The Nashville Banner has the following to say concerning the quondam Baron backstop and hero, "Rowdy" Elliott:
 Tt is with pleasure we announce that Monsieur "Rowdy'' Elliott. author of that popular ballad, Where Are the Home Runs of Yesterday? has at last slammed out his first circuit drive of the season. The accident occurred at Red Elm park and is still the talk of the town"
 The effort that the Birmingham fans are making to raise bonus fund as a token of their appreciation for the work or the Barons is causing quite a bit of comment among the different scribes Practically every one has a remark of approval 10 make upon the spirit of the Birmingham fandom that prompted such a move; and, according to the New Or leans Item, there will be no kicks from any managers of Southern clubs on the ground that this is against the salary limit rule, unless, as Charlie Frank ob- serves, Mike Finn cant resist the oppor- tunity to raise a squeal

Just at present the main thing that Is causing misgvings in the camp of Jake Stahl's Boston Red Sox is the irrigated slants of one Jeff Tesreau According to Johnny Evers this ponderous member of the Giants box artists has about as much on his "spitter' has Ed Walsh, and if there Is one thing that worries the sluggers of the American league leaders 1t is this same Walsh Tho Boston scouts who recently visited New York to get a line on Marquard, Mathewson, ct al, re- turned with a full appreciation of the abil- ity of Tesreau, and declared that he would be a most important factor in the coming championship series. Muggsy McGraw seems to be of the same opinion from the way he has been saving the big fellow recently. It Is probable that Joe Wood and Tesreau will meet during the early part of the series, and the ability of these master artists will mean much in deciding just which aggregation will be the winner.
 Alabama fans may well be proud of the showing that the Alabama teams have made in the Southern league this season. With Birmingham and Mobile anchored flor keeps in first and second place, re- spectvely, and Montgomery well out of danger of being cellar champion. there Is no reason why the local fandom should not view the passing Of the l9i2 season with smiles of satisfaction.
 It is reported that Charlie Frank will take his bunch of Peicans to Cuba after the close of the current season for a post season series. There is always method in the chubby managers madness, and there Is little doubt but that he sees a goodly amount of coin in the proposition which was turned aside hv the Cham- pion Barons.
