a boy and a girl, and they and their
mother survive him.
Four or five years ago the family
moved from this county to Bay City,
Florida, where Mr.. Robinson died

of heart trouble. lie is survived by
a number of relatives in this town,

High Price Cattle.

Mr. r. Z. PAUL sold to Mr. K X.
Young three Aberdeen Angus Stears
for cents per pound and were
weighed up last Saturday. They
were yearlings, but brought a neat
sum. The above price is the highest
ever paid for cattle in this section,
and shows the Importance of raising
high grade cattle. Mr.. PAUL has a
good herd of this noted breed embrac-
ing some of the finest individuals
found any where. The above were
not superb in every particular to sell
as breeders so they were handled as
beef and payed well. Mr.. Young IS
not an inexperienced dealer, but a
trader who knows the worth Of cattle
as soon as he makes a careful inSpec-
ton.

Columbia Team Victorious.

Last Friday, July 4th, the Columbia
team journeyed over to Campbells-
vile in the big auto to play an exhibit
tion game prior to the gruelling con
tests of the coming week. A good
crowd came out TO see the game and
much excitement was aroused.
During the first six innings of play
the game locked doubtful, as Camp
bellsviIle was leading by the score of
Al
Burning, who started pitching for
the locals, was handicapped because
of the fact of having to pitch up hill
out hole. At the beginning of the
fifth inning "BUrley" Young was in
jected into the game by Capt. Rosen-
field at the psychological moment,
and Campbellsville'S run getting was
b ought to a close imm ediately.
One lonely hit was all that could be
garnered off of his delivery, and that
was Of the scotch order
The enc surprising feature Of the
game was the good exhibition of ball
put up by the substitutes. The fea-
ture of the game out side the gilt-edge
pitching of Burley, was the all around
playing of Grimes, Vaughan a d
Sandidge, the latter securing four
hits out of five trips o the plate, and
four stolen bases out of as many at
temptS.
To say the least Mgr. Reed is well
pleased with his ball tosSerS and to be
very conservative h e thinks tn e
team is going to play nice innings of
consistent ball.
Fridays game instilled new conf
dence into the team and every man
is doing good work.
The following is the regular line up
and the men to make the trip:
Judd, Tom, 3rd Base,
Vaughan, s. s..
