sentative men of Columbia.
HARTLEY H. BANKS.
Hartley II. Banks, president of the
Columbia Savings Bank, sat at his
desk.
I'm a poor talker." he said 1T
seems that the art of conversation is
dying out and it's too bad. There
used to be lot of good conversa-
tionalists in Columbia, but most are
gone now.
II have no hobby to ride All
do is to work and then go home
When | have nothing else to do | go
home
NO, | don't travel. just work.
I've been in the banking business
here twenty-five years last Septem-
ber. was born in Marion County
and came to Columbia when a small
boy.
You go to c. c. Newman and ask
him to tell you about John S. Sam
uel. He was great character here.
He was born a few miles north of
Columbia. He died about 81, think.
In 1856 he founded this bank, and
worked for him. Before that he had
held the county offices of sheriff.
treasurer. clerk. and don't know
what else. He was a grand old char
acter. He was humorous. had strong
dislines and likes. and most people
liked him.
Columbia has had many famous
characters. There was Odon Guitar.

about a year before he died. We
got to talking about some of the
characters that Columbia has had. |
told him that if we just had a Dick
ems, a Thackeray or Hawthorne to
write them up, this town would be
famous the nation over.
Then General Guitar began to tell
NE about the town in his boyhood.
Columbia used TO be manufacture
ing town he said. The Sante Fe
Trail really began here. Here wagons
and saddles were made and sent over
the trail to Old Mexico He told of
the tannery that was where the Globe
Clothing Company now is. When he
was boy Flat Greek was quite a
stream. 1t would swim a horse. He
caught fish in it that weighed fifteen
pounds.
He told pathetic story of party
that left Columbia and went to Old
Mexico. One of them left behind a
wife and two or three children. This
man became sick with the fever and
his partners left him and came home,
telling that he had died. Years
passed by and he did not returned.
His wife, thinging that her husband
was dead, remarked. and with her
new husband went to California to
live.
"One day some Americans from
Old Mexico were driving cattle into
California. They stopped at house
to get water The man who had been
reported dead recognized his wife.
now the wife of another man. News
had come to him that his family back
at Columbia had died of cholera. The
story goes on that the woman chose
between the two and took her first
husband.

Those fans who failed to see Saturday 3
game with Watervile to the end missed the
most interesting and we'll played game of the
season. The game abounded in good hitting
and snappy fielding. Three double plays were
made by the home team and each of them
saved the visitors from making additional
runs. The visitors were delayed in getting
here by tire mishap and darkness interfer-
ed with finishing the game, which stood 8 to 8
at the end of the ninth inning. Among the
features of the game was the remarkable hit
ting of Ladd and Stobie, Browns fine running
catch and accurate throw to second of hard
hit ball to right field and Trundy's difficult
catch in center field. When Waterville comes
again, as we hope they will, all who admire a
good game of base ball should be sure to at
tend. Following is the score

ton, d. c., and Iowa. In all, Is members of

the exercises were attended by the largest
number of ladies that have ever been present
at reunion of the regiment. The forenoon
exercises were held in two large tents pitched
upon the State ground, where so years ago to
day the valiant old 18th was mustered in
The entire party proceeded at noon to Halo
well, where fine dinner was served for them
in Masonic hall by Queen Esther Chapter, O.
E. S., under the direction of Gen. Charles W

The double play made by James. Webber
and Albert showed good head work. James
certainly fills his position in fine style.
l don't know where we shall play Ladd next
but he has shown himself a first class man at
both first and second base, and as good as the
best with the stick.
Everybody is pleased with Cunningham's
splendid work behind the bat. He seldom has
a passed ball and his accurate throwing makes
stolen bases almost unknown.
Labruck's acrobatic method of coaching was
favoraby received by the crowd His motions
were characteristic of his French descent, but
l am at a loss to account for his voice.
Stobie of the visitors is remarkable hitter.
In the two games here he has been to bat nine
times and made five hits. James has not found
that he has any weak spot. Albert struck him
out with two men on bases, which surely pleas
ed the crowd.
One of our local players who has been a
favorite in the past is not giving as good SER
vice this year. When he has his vacation he
won't play because he prefers to go fishing
When working he saws he can't NAV because
his employer won't let him off.
We have been requested to publish the fol-
lowing: The Boston Reds, the strongest inde-
pendent club in the Middle States, will visit
Maine the latter part of August. All Maine
clubs wishing to book the Reds can arrange
games by addressing William Leonard, Dun
dee street, Boston, Mass.

BASE BALL.
BELFAST Z; sEARsPoRT l.

Searsport and Belfast met on the Congress
street grounds last Thursday. Just before the
time for the game to begin hard shower
came along which hurt the attendance consid-
erably. Another shower at the close of the
seventh inning put an end to the game. The
visitors brought over strong fielding team,
but their pitcher was unable to control the
wet, heavy ball. and that accounted for many
of Belfast's runs. James and Albert did not
seem to mind the wet ball and pitched fine
game, allowing only four hits, ,and gave nobody
base on balls. Trundy's home run in the
first inning looked as though there was to be
some batting in the game, but it proved to be
the only hit for more than one hour by the
visitors. Following is the score:
