Game Calls at $50.

The Melrose Athletic Club, of At
lantic City, bowed to defeat Satur-
day at the hands of "Kid" McLain by
the score of 8 to l..
McLain, who is scarcely nineteen
years old, is developing a magnificent
pitching stride, and in Saturdays
game but one of his opponents was
able to get the direct focus on his de-
livery. Thirteen batsmen famed the
ether and not one was given a free
pass. to first. Manager Woolbert sees
a great future in McLain and he bids
fair to become one of the mainstays
of the team by another season. His
team mates gave him perfect support
which helped to make Saturdays con-
test one of the prettiest played on the
local grounds this season. Reeves,
our efficient third sacker, made the
only two sacker. The score:

PLEASANTVILLE AGAIN
TROUNCES MELROSE A. C,

The return game with the Melrose
Club, which was played at Inlet Park,
Atlantic City, found the visitors again
on the major end of a 81 score.
The game was anything but excit-
ing, as the score will show, and the
Pleasantville boys rolled up 16 hits,
with a ~discrediting tally of 8 errors.
Young Collins started in to pitch and
the Roses were about to walk away
with him, when Manager Woolbert
sent in "Kid" McLain to ave the
day, which he very creditably did.
Some of the Regulars fattened their
batting averages considerably, three
safeties being tapped by Sanders, Ad-
ans and Peterson, and two by Mel
son. Sanders made one drive for
three sacks. The score:

JERSEY HEIRS TO FORTUNE.
Estate of Oklahoman To Be Settled
Under Court Decision.

In a decision just rendered the Su-
preme Court of Oklahoma has brought
near a termination a long controversy
over the estate of Enos Nichols, late
of Oklahoma, who died in that state
in 1918, leaving a sole heir, Mrs. Har-
riet Cook, of Salem, N. ]. At the
death of Mrs. Cook the estate passed
to a number of relatives, many of
whom reside in New Jersey. Certain
claimants endeavored to probate an
alleged lost will of Nichols, and also
to prevent a final settlement of the
estate.
1t was stated in Camden this week
by Lawyer VIM. F. Kelly, who with
United States District Attorney j.
Warren Davis, has been in Oklahoma
the past few weeks looking after the
interests of the Jersey heirs, that the
decision of the Court now makes a
hearing of the case necessary, and
that a final settlement is in sight. 1t
was stated that the estate, consisting
of stocks and bonds, approximates
half a million dollars, most of which
comes to the Jersey heirs. These
heirs live in Pleasantville, Linwood,
Fort Republic and Atlantic City.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The annual meeting of the Atlantic
County Historical Society was held
on Wednesday evening at the home
of Mrs. R. M. Willis. In the alb
sence of the President, DR.. Arthur
Adams, of Trinity College, Hartford,
presided. Plans for providing head
quarters for the Society were discus
sed. The securing of the old Leeds
home, the first house built in Atlantic
City, seemed to meet with the most
favorable comment.
Most satisfactory reports for the
year were handed in by Mrs. Job
Stebbins, treasurer, and Miss Lizzie
J. Price, librarian.
The Membership Committee re-
ship: Mrs. Samuel Barbash, Mrs. E.
A. Higbee, Mrs. Stewart McShea.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were: President, Miss Cornelia
Frink; 1st Vice-President, Mrs. R. M.
Willis; End Vice-President, Mrs. M.
R. NJ. Fish; 3rd Vice-President, Mrs.
Samuel Johnson; Secretary, Mrs.
VIM. Lear; Treasurer, Miss Hattie
Ftambes; Press Secretary, Mrs. John
G. Thomas; Trustees, Mrs. Warren
Somers, Mrs. L. Dow Ballet, Miss
Hattie Frambes; Librarian, Miss Liz
zie J. Price.
1t was with the greatest regret,
that owing to a clause in the constitu-
ton that one person could hold office
but two ensuing years, the Society
lost its much loved President, Mrs.
L. D. Balliett. 1t is appreciated that
the present fiourishing condition of
the Society is due to the efficiency
and untiring zeal of its first presi-
dent. Mrs. Ballet will continue her
work as editor of the book of a re-
port of the first years work of the
Society, and it is expected a most in
teresting volume will be presented to
the public in the near future.
At the close of the business meet
ing the hostess served dainty refresh
ments.
Those present were: Miss Sarah A.
Risley, Miss Matte Collins, Mrs. VIM.
Lear, Mrs. Samuel Johnson, Mrs. Job
Stebbins, Mrs. Charles 7. Collins,
Miss Lizzie J. Price, Mrs. Preston B.
Adams, Mrs. Geo. H. Adams, DR.. Ar

VIII Get A New Stone crusher.

Edwin S. Jarrett, owner of Wild Goose
Farm, near Shepherdstown, has purchas-
ed stone crusher which promises to be
a public benefit in this neighborhood.
The cruSher, which will be run by an oil
engine, will have capacity OF 40 tons OF
crushed stone day, or il will grind six
tons OF limestone into dust as fine as
flour. Mr.. Jarett's main purpose in buy
ing the machine is TO grind limestone for
agricultural purposes, and he will use this
method CT fertilizing TO bring Wild Goose
Farm to a high state OF cultivation. 1t
has been demonstrated within the past
few years by agricultural scientists that
the application of pulveriZed limestone TO
land is more beneficial than the same
stone converted into lime, and 1t IS at the
same time less costly, as rule. AT the
county institute in Shepherdstown a week
or two ago the advantages OF limestone
over lime were discussed. and the experts
advised the use of the former.
H. L. Lyme, manager OF Mr.. Jarrett,s
estate, informs US that the CruSher will
be at the service of those farmers who
may desire TO use if, at moderate cost,
and if is hoped that it will be taken advan-
tage of and permanent improvement made
to our farming lands-and incidentally
the making of good roads further stimu-
lated. Mr.. Lyme thinks that ground lime
stone for agricultural use maybe gotten
for about ST so a ton, which is a great
cheaper than has heretofore been paid for
il by those who have been convinced OF
the ACCESSIBILITY Of using it and who have
had il shipped here. On almost every
farm in this neighborhood there is an
abundance OF limestone which can easily
be quarried, and if il is not now utilized Tor
the Improvement OF the land generally 1t
will be the owners own fault.

A Pleasant Jaunt.

The little band of wanderlusters had
another delightful walk last Sunday alter
noon, tramping to Dam No. 4 aud back
home by way of the sleepy village OF
Scrabble. What change modern pro-
gress has made at Dam No. 4. Elisha
Snyder's ancient grlst mill has entirely
disappeared, the only thing LETT otit being
corner Of the stone wall that peeps from
under mountain of debris piled high
when the new power plant was built.
The rumble OF the old buhrstoneS and the
splashlng of the waterWheel have been
siIenced forever, but within a stones
throw the silent but powerful machinery
OF a great hydraulic electrical plant pro-
duceS current that is carried by gleam-
ing wires 10 furnish light and energy
many miles away. What contrast be-
tween "Uncle" Elisha's old mill and the
congenial spirits that gathered there to
brag and gossip on rainy days, and the
business-like establishment where the
harnessed river runs the wonderful tur-
bines that in turn whirl the mighty dyna-
mos that make electricity. The only thing
left 10 remind one OF the former times is
the swift-running little stream that bab-
UlcS OVSI It's plStul SSAuC idlIo III 10 O"i
tiny valley. A little way up the stream.
at Will Walkers place, are the ruins OF
Snyder's old saw mill, where "Uncle"
Jerry used to hold forth. The crumbling
walls and decaying timbers show that its
prosperity is also gone, and the unhin-
dered waters ripple uSeleSSly along the
rocky channel. Scrabble village hasn't
grown very much, but its houses are neat
and well-kept and it is thrifty looking,
even if its population doesn't increase.
1t has public improvement, TO be sure
an iron bridge that spans the clear waters
of the little stream that serves as divd-
ing line between the counties OF Jefferson
and Berkeley-and amoSt excellent turn
pike has replaced the once dreaded dirt
road that leads to town. We trudged
along this road as the sun sank in the west
and the moon rose in the east, and il was
very good to be in the crisp, keen wind
that kept the color in our cheeks and re-
minded us that winter is at hand.
