picnic at Pine, a picnic at Orange
Springs and big doings at Palatka and

people at this place to celebrate the
Glorious Fourth, and but for a small
shower about noon the day vas an

other contests were over Fort Mccoy

ball game, Fort Mccoy winning both
CT them. The last game was called
by agreement in the fifth inning to
let the Rodman team catch the train.
The battery for the visitors was Nc
Duffie and Bennett; for Fort Mccoy,
Clapper and Howell. Both pitchers
worked hard but Clapper had it on
McDuffie for support. Fort Mccoy
kept them from crossing the rubber
until the eighth inning, when an err
ror, a hit and a passed ball let in two
runs.
Fort Mccoy played Burbank Thurs
day, July End, winning by a score OF
8 to l.
Out of eight games this season Fl.
Mccoy has lost one.

with the utmost indignation against
this revolving act of barbarism and
brings it to the knowledge and appre-
citation of the civilized nations

the name given to the city proper and
the surrounding suburbs, which are
