Is always something TO learn. The

La Plata defeated the Chemical La
boratory of the Indian Head League
team in an interesting game on the
grounds here on Wednesday by the
score of 6 to 3. On the average the
game was well played and enjoyed by
the spectators, though now and then
some work was done on both sides
that could not be termed creditable. y
Eugene Mudd pitched for La Plata,
and did good work, as did Marshall
Thomas for the visitors until the latter
part of the game, when he was retired
in favor of Eckhart. A home run by
Michael Jenkins for the Laboratory
team was one of the features. DR.. j..
J. Edelen umpired the game in excel
lent fashion.

Memorial Commits. Meeting

This Committee met here Tuesday t.
receive the monies from the severa
districts which Is 10 be used to erecl
in La Plata a fitting memorial TO oui
gallant boys, dead and alive, who
we're enlisted in the late war. The
committee set out to collect $500 for
this purpose and this amount was APP
portiOned to the ten districts. Abou,
$780, was turned in on Tuesday.
Several of the districts went over the
top but in some very little had been
collected, no concerted action having
been taken. In order that every sec
ton might have an opportunity to re-
spond to this most worthy purpose the
collectors in all Of the districts were
urged TO continue thcirwork and where
little had been done additional collec-
tors were chosen to help out those orig
iaally named. The time to make final
returns was extended to August 18th,
and Il is to be hoped our people VIII
cheeriully respond to the appeal of the
collectors so that our Comfy will be
able to erect something emminently fit
ting as a memorial to the sacrifices
our boys made for the good of the
world. Later we will publish by dis
triets a full list OF subscribers to this
fund.
We are sorry the colored people so
far have done little in this matter for
a like fund for their own race. Other
counties have done it and we believe
our colored folks will do likewise So
far they have contributed only about
$50. At the suggestion of prominent
persons of their own race there will be
held in La Plata on July 26th at 3 p.
m. a public meeting of the colored peo-
pie. This meeting will be addressed BY
good speakers and ways and means
devised by which subscription fund
for colored memorial will be gotten.
We publish the call in another column.
The following is the apportionment
by districts and the amounts collected.
