WORST IN THIRTY-FOUR YEARS

John Reid was Thursday visitor
from his farm near Walhalla. He
stated the report as to the extent the
crop of the eastern part of the county
was damaged by the wind storm of a
week ago was exaggerated. The crop
in that section was further advanced
than here and those plants with the
roots left bare by the wind would
revive if nourished by timely rains.
1t was, however, the worst wind and
dust storm he can recall during a
residence in the Beaulieu settlement
of thirty.four years.

given Langdon's prospect in taking
an active part in the schedule of
games to be played by teams of the
Cavalier county league by the fans
who attended and took part in the
meeting held at the Court House on
Tuesday evening. Previously the
situation had been canvassed and the
liberal response of business men and
others to the call for funds did much
to pave the way for the meeting on
Tuesday night.
The work of putting together a

look good to the management has been
placed in the hands of board of
directors composed of Messrs T. B.
Hankey, j. B. Mooney, John j. Boyd

have been added Dr. E. j. Hughes
as secretary ard Mark j. O'Brien,

abundance Of material in the way of
ball players who will get out and
practice with promise of a place in
the lineup if they can make good.
With the exception of d battery it is
not likely that any hired players will
be required. The ball ground east of

recently made his home here in Lang

two years ago, when owing to his
advanced years of life there seemed
to come a general break down in

years ago this spring, that deceased
came here from Ontario with his wife,
whose death preceded that of the
husband about ten years ago. There
are left to mourn two sons, Michael
j. and William Brazell and one
daughter, Mrs. A. E. Harrington.
Deceased was man of the ole
fashioned quiet unassuming type, of
kindly disposition and earnest chris

his neighbors and beloved by the
family of sons and a daughter who
are now called upon to mourn his
demise.
