On Annual Hike
To Lake Gibson

Yesterday afternoon the Boy
Scouts left on their annual hike
which they will enjoy the remainder
of the week on Lake Parker island.
There were about a dozen boys in
the crowd all dressed in their regu-
lation camp suits, each carrying a
haversack filled with provisions,
bedding and a tent. The boys were
accompanied by Scout Master KEEL
sey Blanton. Today Assistant
Scout Master C. A. Wills is to go
out and relieve Mr.. Blanton, who
has to return to the city to look
after his business.
On these hikes the boys spend
the time in fishing. bathing and in
the regular camp drill of the order.
They were a happy crowd as they
marched out of town, and it is to
be hoped that good weather will
prevail during their encampment.

Mayor Eaton To
Umpire Elks' Ball
Game Thursday

The game Thursday between the
crack Mulberry team and the local
Elks, promises to be a great strug-
gle, land, from an artistic stand
point, bids fair to eclipse any game
seen here this season.
The manager of the Elks team
announces that Verigan, one of the
best pitchers seen here in some
years, will do the mound work for
his aggregation, and will be sup
ported by Ted Eaton behind the bat,
with an unusually strong team IN
the field. According to advlces
from Mulberry, their team is COM
ing here stronger than ever before,
prepared to do battle to the death.
This game is to swell the charity
fund of the Elks, and should, there
fore, be patronized literally, as ev-
cry five-cent piece taken in at the
gate will go to charity.
The public is warned to prepare
to witness CORY" struggle, as
Mayor Eaton is to umpire, and the
Elks management assumes no re-
sponsibility for what might occur
However, ample police protection
will be provided, and THE MAYOR
will be properly looked after.
