Hundred of people from here took
in the celebration at Cassville July
9Th. The Steamer Potosi carried
upwards of two hundred people while
many went on the early morning
train and some on the afternoon train
1t was the largest number of people
from Potosi that ever attended cele-.
bration in Cassville. The celebra-
tion IN itself was not what drew the
large crowd there; other features
were responsible for the great num-
Der of people going to Cassville that
day. First the Potosi Military band
had announced an excursion on the
Steamer Potosi and the big crowd
on the boat bought tickets to help
the band boys along and to enjoy a
boat ride on the river. Second a
game of base ball between the Potosi
and Cassville teams helped to swell
the crowd. The Potosi team lost the
game but not to the Cassville team
only. as but five of them played in
the game the other four being from
other places. 1t had been agreed
between the manager of the Cassville
team, and the manager Mr.. Campbell
of the Potosi team, that there should
be no loading from other localities
that the game would be played by
only the direct members of the two
teams. Potosi fulfilled its part of
the agreement to the letter while
Cassville violated their part by
getting players from Bloomington,
Glen Haven and a railroad man from
Lacrosse. We must admit however
that the game was lost by such great
odds of IL to 9 through the fault of
some of the Potosi players who we're
not in proper condition to play
ball.
Jess B. Key a member of the
POtosi base ball team sustained bad
sprain of his left ankle last Sunday
and was unable to play at CassYil1e
Monday. Mr.. Key is good player
and his absence crippled the team to
quite an extent. A young school boy
was taken along to fill the team.

Mrs. Theodore Longmier, of South
Lancaster and Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Myer, of Boice Creek, were guests
