TOLEDO 5; JEFFERSON 8.

Last Sundays ball game was the
fastest game that has been played
on the Toledo diamond for long
while, and will go down in history
as one of the best ever. A large
number of rooters were in atten-
dance and most of them went home
with pleased expression on their
face.
The Toledo bunch was not in as
good form as it was a week ago,
still they did not make any very
costly error. The Jefferson boys
were up on their toes and coming
all the time, ard it locked like they
had the game cinched but in the
ninth inning with the bases full,
and two men out, Gwynn knocked
a two bagger. This seemed to
rattle the Jefferson catcher and he
fumbled the ball letting in two
more scores The Toledo boys were
unable to score until the eighth in
ming when they got one score, then
four more in the ninth. Jefferson
made their scores, one in the first,
one in the third and one in the
eighth.
Struck out by Hayes three. by
Baram thirteen. Walked, by Hayes
two. by Baram FIVE.
In the seventh inning Casey proved
himself to be the champion fowl
killer of seven states, knocking out
ten fouls without stopping for a
rest, and finally got his base on
balls, otherwise he still might be
KIN ocking fouls.
Looney for Jefferson made three
base hit in the eighth inning, being
the longest hit of the day.

Had Mrs. Pickell lived until Sunday
she would have been 81 years of age.
Following their marriage in Sweet
water, Tenn, in July, 1889, Mr.. and
Mrs. Pickell as members of a home
stealing party drove overland In

of Mt. Pleasant. The homestead is
now the site of the town of Wayland
and the white, wooden farmhouse,
capacious in size, which replaced the
original log house, is now included
among the residences of this village.
The home which Mr.. and Mrs.
Pickell founded in the woods was the
center for Methodism for many years
in that section of the state. In this
log house the services for the neigh
borhood with it's unlimited borders
we're held and all Of the circuit riders
of the Methodist church were given
royal entertainment within it's walls.
It was the way station for all of the
travelling ministers in southeastern
