 There will be a ball game on Hyde Park next Saturday afternoon between teams representing the married men and the single men.

Weber and Ash will be the battery for the married men and Dupre and Guilman for the single. A good crowd is expected. The teams are evenly matched. This is the last time to see the boys in action this year.
 The election of town officers and the vote on the license question comes next Monday. Polls will open in both districts at 9 a. m., and will close in this, the second, district at D. m. and in the first district at D. m. Last Saturday there were 51 new voters made. Of these, 39 were made in this district and 12 in the first. In the first district two women voters were made. Due care will have to be observed in order to avoid losing votes. To vote a straight ticket an X should be placed in the circle, and no other marks made on the ticket. To vote a split ticket no X should be placed in the circle, but an X should be marked opposite the name of each candidate for whom the voter wishes to express his preference.

 Napoleon Pero has leased a big store in the new Holbrook block in Palmer and will open there about Nov. 1st with about the same lines carried locally. The Peros started in business in a small way about II years ago. Their business has steadily grown until at present they have the largest variety store in Tol- land county. William Pero will act as manager of the new store, with Napoleon Pero., Jr., dividing his time between the new location and the local store. Palmer at present is a growing center, with two new rail roads entering the town and prospect of increased business activity. With the well-known hustling methods of the local firm, the new field should prove popular.
