A Monroe County Boy
 Makes Good" at Start in League Baseball

Billy Fincher, the Holly Grove
 boy, who was picked by the Little Rock Club of the Southern League, as a future champion pitcher, was tried out" this
 week and pitched three innings to start the game with. He struck out six men in those three innings and not an error
 was chalked up against him, and nothing but goose eggs went to
 the opposing team while Fincher
 was in the box.
 Fincher is a Holly Grove boy and is clever fellow and hard
 worker. He bids fair to not
 only make good in the Southern League but to jump rapidly in national baseball circles. Fincher's cleverness as a ball player was shown when he was Ia member of the Holly Grove Boys Club.

thirty days or until he completed the main well which was under construction. I asked him if he could not get Mir. Reid (the ice man) to furnish water for the the city while he was repairing his we'll and he said he could not afford to pay MT. Reid his price.
 l told MT. Thompson that under no circumstances would the city be furnished water from the tank until it was in a sani- tary condition. We discussed various ways and means to make it sanitary and acceptable. I ad- vised him to replaster it with cement, etc and he said it would take a week and would not con- sent to same. He decided to fill the old tank with water and to use same for the boilers for electric light purposes only and let the city do without water until he completed his well that he had under construction.
 came to town and called a meeting of the Board of Health and they concurred in my action unanimously. The Mayor ar ranged with MT. Reid to furnish water from the ice plant as had been done before. Mir. Thomp- son heard of it and disconnected MT. Reid. The city went without water the balance of the day. There was considerable feeling throughout the city over the water question. MT. Thompson consulted MT. Emmons and Mir. Greenlee, I suppose, and they talked to me about letting the water be used from the surface pool, which would not consent to.
 Later MT. Thompson called me into his office and proposed to empty the water in the pool out on the ground and replaster ii and to remedy it until it was satisfactory to and accepted by the Board of Health. He has complied and the pool in now in use.
 My action in this matter was based merely on my duty to- the | people, whose lives and health I must safe guard and to the best of my ability it will be, done as long as I am health officer, regardless of personal feelings or anything else.
 Very truly,

 Some time ago l was informed that the Water Company was using the old water pool down at the Light Plant, which had been condemned by former Health Officer, Dr. E. D. Me- Knight, last year, and was given over to the boys of the town for a swimming pool. l went down and found that such was the case, that the city had been fur nished water from this pool for possibly ten days or more. im- mediately advised that as health officer, l could not permit same as it endangered the health and lives of the city and ordered it's use discontinued at once. which was done by MT. Neff, who ar- ranged in few hours to pump water direct to the stand pipe by the use of two pumps and all went well for about two or three weeks, when 1, in passing the plant discovered that they were pumping water into the pool again, I asked if the city was to be supplied waterfrom this pool and was informed by MT. Thompson that it was the only way for the city to be supplied, as it was runious to his pumps to continue as he had done for the past two or three weeks. He stated that he thought the water from the tank was all right and if the city did not take that there would be no water sup piled to the city TOT possibly
