Weather conditions were ideal for
the play, the diamond and ontfield
being dry and fast. While a warm sun
shone overhead from fIeecy sky and
made wraps unnecessary. Every scat
in Shibe park was filled and several
thousand spectators witnessed the
tops which overlooked the park. The
b3eacber stands filled almost ilnnledi-
ately after the opening of the gates
shortly after IL o'clock, about 1000
men and boys gaining seats beyond
the outfield, while fully twice that
number were turned away once the
stand was completely occupied The
reserved sections were not thickly
populated until much later. At 1:30
o'clock there were still many vacant
seats, but as the hour of the game
approached the late arrivals flocked
in rapidly and hurried to their seats,
to the strains of the band and cheers
of those watching the players in pre-
liminary practice.
Finishing Touch.
The finishing touch was added to
the picture when the Royal Rooters,
Roston's organized roofing corps,
marched into the park headed BY their
own band and waving red land blue
pennants with the word Braves and an
Indian head boldly outlined on the
same. They even carried the idea
further, for several of the leaders
wore full Indian regalia, including
feathered headdress and tomahawks.
The battle song, "Tessie,' was sung
repeatedly and the 300 members of
the corps cheered each telling Boston

The Sun need not worry about
that matter. If this next two years

both the denomination and re-

Obituary

Rev. w. H. Sparks was born
Feb. 10th, 1S49, and died Aug. %,
1914. He was a good boy from
childhood to manhood. AT the
age of fifteen he joined the Mine
Creek Baptist Church, in Ruther-

has lived a devoted christian life.
His life has been above reproach.
He has been in the ministry about
twenty years. He was well be-
loved by all who knew him. The

whom he so faithfully worked be-

The Times says Hooper saved
the Tennessee Republicans from
being DISTINGUISHED, but it has
never attempted to explain why
he had six hundred Cooke county
Republicans DISTINGUISHED. Still,
when he refused to allow the bill
introduced by C. F. Boyer giving
men who could not mark their
ballots the privilege of selecting a
marker to become a law, this is
what he did. The Times is won
derfully fair when the fairness
suits its purpose, but when the
fairness works against them they
want something else.

Book Review
OH! JAMES!

By H. M. Ellington, an unusual
novel of more than ordinary inter-
est. The reader is held SPELL
bound from cover to cover by the
ever-present but fortunately never
experienced sense of coming ca
lamity. The paternal hero, James
Bright, having more money than
prudence, and possessing wife
who, through long years of careful
thrift, cannot accustom herself to
her husbands wish to spend
money layishly, wishes to prove
the good in the world by becom-
ing philanthropist in a most un-
conventional way. His conduct,
although always honorable, excites
suspicion and threatens great evil
not only IN his own home, but in
his home town.
Catherine Bright, the capable
and wonderful wife, is a woman
of most pleasing and remarkable
personality who, upon discover
ing a way in which her husband
spent his money, does the wisest
and best thing in meeting the
grave difficulty in a most diligent
and officious manner.
The busy-body, Mrs. Hunter,
creates great amount of provo
cation and mirth.
The object of James Bright's
charity are five beautiful and win
ming young girls, who fully ap-
preciates their fairy godfather"
and prevent a cloud of trouble
from falling upon his head, by
marrying the five splendid young
fellows, delegated by Mr.. Bright
to be detectives. All forebodings
of coming scandal are swept away
by the mirth-provoking passages
interspersed throughout the book,
combining as it does most de-
lightful and absorbing novel. Pub
lished by Little, Brown & Co.,
Boston.

The people are we'll aware OF
the fact that under the present
laws authorizing counties to issue
bonds that they have a vote on the
question before the. bonds can be
issued. This privilege the people
want to hold on to and feel that it
is more in keeping with the right
than to have a special bill passed
which would allow the County
Court to issue more bonds with
out giving the people a right to
vote. That's the difference.

The Banner is terribly worried
oyer the kind of speech Gen. Rye
will make. 1t says if he speaks in
favor of temperance the liquor
men will vote against him and
that if he speaks in favor of liquor
the prohibitionists will vote against
him. 1t is safe to say that no
matter what kind of a speech Rye
makes the Banner will not be
suited.

Peahead FrOths at the Mouth

Peahead Froths at the Mouth
The peaheaded editor of the
Sewer County Republican is not
pleased with the notice we gave
him a week or so ago, and states
that the real editor of Plain Talk
hides behind a woman's skirt"
Lord bless your little shriveled
soul, Peahead, it has never been
necessary for Tom Campbell to
hide behind anything when writ
ing about the little Hooper gang
in this county, even when he
wrote about men who were real
men, and now that you have sal
lied into the ring, there is really
less reason to hide than before.
Such as you cannot even brighten
small children; and when one sees
you between the legs of G. L.
Zirkle, it is an easy matter to
know what you will do. 1t is a
well known fact in Sewer county
that Zirkle leads you around by
the nose, the same as Hooper
leads the crowd in this county
who are So displeased with Tom
Campbell. A man who hasn't
sense enough to get up the main
streets in Nashville and to the
capitol building without the aid of
a policeman, has mighty little bus
mess putting his name up as ed
itor of a newspaper. Peahead,
you should get Zirkle to make an
explanation that he is merely u.s.
ing you as a thin shield, not even
thick enough to hide him from
the most ignorant reader in your
county. 1t is street talk that you
possess not the ability to correctly
write ten-line news item. When
such men as Eckle are replaced
by such as you, it is a plain fact
it is desired to replace a real man
with one who will do the bidding
of the boss. You are too small
game for Plain Talk to waste am
munition on, and in future what
ever space we desire to use will
be devoted to your bosses, and
not to one we know has no mind
of his own.

In no respect is the progress of

books. The improvement in their
moral tone, alone, within the last few
hundred years, has been enormous.
The good little boy, the hero of infant

chance of growing up into a particu-
larly selfish and egotistical man. His
virtue consisted in being different

Nowadays the little boy promises
to become much more of a man. He
thinks of others as well as himself

old children's books was the constant
appearance of spirit of cruelty and
