Sunday Baseball Wins In Georgetown ONLY ONE DISSENTING VOICE AT
 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING. Rev. ATr. Burgess Registered the Lone- some Negative Vote Out of 40 Pres ent-ComInittee Named to Have
 Charge of Permits.
BEDDING
espeeiaI to The Farmer.l

Special to The Farmer.)
 Bedding, July 22-Witn only one dis senting vote which was cast by Rev. Louis Burgess, pastor of the Center Congregational church, sthe special town meeting held on Saturday after noon fixed things so that Georgetown can legally have Sunday baseball for the rest of the season About 40 att tended the meeting, most of them coming from Georgetown. The lat ter contingent comprised Rev. MT. Wise. who has conducted the campaign against Sunday games, but as he lives on the Wilton side of the town line he was not entitled to a voice or vote fort to obtain the privilege of either from the gathering Had he asked the concession it would doubtless have been granted him. Consequently the sentiment and action of the meeting was all one way aside from the oppo- sition offered by Rev. MT. Burgess who had not previously taken any part in the controversy.
 Attorney H. s. Barnes acted as chairman. Business began with the offer for acceptance by the meeting of a lease by which the Gilbert & Ben nett Manufacturing company were granted possession and use as a public park of a tract of land in Georgetown. the consideration being $1I and the lease to terminate on December l next. The discussion on the question of ac- ceptance was confined to remarks by Rev MT. Burgess, B. A. Pinkney and w M. KIink. The latter is a mem Der of the state committee of the Pro- gressive party. MT. Burgess did not very strongly denounce the particular form of Sunday amusement which was the issue under review He said that while a game of amateur baseball on Sunday was not so bad in itself he op- posed it's sanction by the town be- cause it constituted phase of the. servance of Sunday as day of rest and worship to day of tabor ana aYn41sements the latter often Of a harmful and demoralizing character In supporting the other side Of the question MT. Pinkney maintained that a Sunday game of ball without obJec- tionable side features was a positive public benefit instead of an evil. It was especially so in a factory com
 nunitv like Georgetown because the shop hands naturally sought some form Of recreation on their one day of leisure and if they had facilities for recreation of a wholesome ana heaIthful kind they were less likely to spend their time in carous1ng or other injurious ways. MT. Kinks re- marks were of the same general pur- port.
 The vote opposing the lease was fol- lcwed by the election of a park com Tnittee of three Of the 22 ballots cast all were for B. A. Pinkney, A. Bentarnin and Martin Stocking. This committee may issue the pern1ts reouisite for sunday ball games and other forms Of amusement.

crosbyton Review
The Crosbyton Pharmacy has
been one of the old businesses of
Crosbyton that has been repre-
sented in every issue of the
Crosbyton Review from its es-
Enlistment, and it has changed
hands having been sold to Mr..
W. c. Booton of Curio, Texas.
Mr.. Booton will no doubt make
good with the business as ne
says he is here to "cut nothing
out" but to add materially to
what he finds here.
Mr.. Parks has many other
lines OF business which occupy
MS time so much that he has in
trusted the conducting of the
Pharmacy to other hands but has
made good. The Pharmacy is
one of the first establishments Of
the town and Mr.. Parks was
one of the original founders and
his friends will wish for him all
the success possible in whatever
he may DO
