EXPLOSION NOT
MEXICAN ARMY

Bob Rice has been achieving motor
iety again. Last month it was with
new born son at his house, this
month although early in the month,
he is again on the record for surprises.
That loud noise Friday was an explos-
of patent sprayer he was using to
protect potatoes from bugs. A large
number thought war had been declared
between Mexico and the United
States, and that Huerta was here with
his army. Those who rushed to the
scene found Bob in the centre of the
potato patch holding the affair in his
hands, which looked like a gigantic
piece of popped corn, calmly murmur-
ing: "It was only about 900 pounds
pressure. Nobody hurt, except the
potato bugs, and they fell off the vines
in fright nd broke their necks. Bob
wants another one, for he says things
were working fine when he put on
more air pressure. Then it relaxed
and the alarm was sounded.

The handsome total of 100000 per

The average yearly amount paid to
each person ON the pension list. &C.
cording to the latest report OF the
State Board OF Pensions. Is S121.25.

extend a warm and generous welcome

on the occasion Of the Jacksonville
reunion Florida, while situated far
South of the great theatsr Of war Of
1861-'65, felt the shock of the conflict.
Jacksonville was occupied four differ.

poses of this occupancy, according to
official reports on file in archives OF
the War Department, were to keep
the st. Johns river open from Its
mouth to the head of navigation and
to arm the negroes for service in the
Union Army. The small Confederate
force in East Florida in 1863 was com.
manded by Gen. Joseph Finegan. On
March 13, 1868, Gen. Ftnegan issued a
proclamation here in which he said:

SEQUACHEE, IA,
JASPER, II

As pronosticated in these columns
last week, Sequachee tied up with the
Jasper team again at Jasper Saturday
for a more satisfactory game. After
a hard fought contest of nine thrilling
innings they came off victorious, IA to
II. The locals were considerably
strengthened from the previous game,

lent players, Brewer and Leland, and
T. Martin uf Battle Greek, who is on
the local team for the season, also be.
ing in the line up and doing fine work.
The game started with Sequachee at
bat. T. Martin scored in this inning
on his hit and sacrifice by W. Mar
tin. No further damage as done by
either side for the next two innings,
except that Templeton got on base in
second. and Hawkins in third for Jas
per, but couldn't score.
In the fourth T. Martin and Smith
scored for Sequachee, but Jasper rOmp-
half, a wild throw by Martin from
first letting in a brace of runs, and
other errors including fly back of
second dropped by Hill after a hard
run, scoring some more. Two bases
on balls in first of inning put the air.
ship up. In fifth Jasper took another,
Templeton scoring, making score 8 to
3 in Jasper's favor. T. Martin went
in the box in this inning. Brewer who
was catching received injury and Hill
took his place.
In sixth Sequachee came within one
of tying score, making three, W.
Martin, Smith and Burnett being &C.
cessories to the fact. Jasper didn't go
in their half. Harris being left on
base.
Sequachee's turn at the cannonading
occurred in the 18th. Leland started
the fun with single, Hill duplicated,
Mosier singled, T. Martin out at first
scoring Mosier and Hill, w. Martin,
Smith, Curtis and Brewer delivered
the correct dope with Texas leaguers
to left field and sundry other points of
the compass, all scoring except Brew
er. Leland made his second hit for
the inning and Hill likewise, but the
latter got involved at second on Mos
ier's clout to short, Jasper ending the
agony with double play.
In eighth T. Martin scored for Sc
quachee, on Curtis hit after W. Mar
tin and Smith we're out Jasper took
one also, Hankins' scoring. Harris
and Fl. Brewer got on the bags also on
to first base too hot to handle,
but did not score.
In ninth it was three up and three
down for Sequachee, but Templeton,
the first man up for Jasper. scored.
Anderson famed. Raulston was
caught at second attempting a steal,
and Thach famed.
Several pitchers got their finish.
Thach essayed to pitch for Jasper but
gave way to Brewer, who stayed un.
