Discussed ORGANIZATION OF
Teams Tuesday Night.
SAM SMITH STARTED
THE SPHERE ROLLING
Committee Appointed to Solicit
Membership, Draft Bylaws, and
Report at Another Meeting to Be
Held Next Tuesday Night.

Sam Smith and few of the other
older devotees of the national game
started the ball rolling for the
organization of ball team for
Holly for the coming season by
calling a meeting at the CONNER
cial club rooms Tuesday night to
talk it over"
Mr.. Smith presided and Lieut.. L.
j. GilmOur acted as secretary, and
after urging the feasibility of Holly
maintaining team this season
asked for an expression of senti-
ment which seemed to be practic-
ally unanimous in favor of a Holly
team. 1t was estimated that the
cost OF uniforms, balls, bats, masks
and other equipment for the start
off would be about $225 And it
was thought that good portion
of this sum could be raised through
the sale of memberships at 81 each,
and that after this $225 was raised
the enterprise could be made self
supporting il properly managed.
On motion o committee of five,
consisting Of j. G. Wadsworth,
Postmaster j. II. Adkins, B. b.
Overfield, Chas. Mosier and A. B.
Conklin, was finally appointed
with instructions to solocit mem
berships and to draft bylaws for
permanent organization and report
at meeting to be i,ld next Tues
tsaz nig.e, when NJ is hoped sufG-
clint financial support will have
been raised to guarantee the sue
cess of an organized ball team.
There seems to be little doubt
about the success of the enterprise
and it is hoped that matters will
be in shape Tuesday night to elect
a permanent board of directors, Sc
lect suitable manager and get
ready to play ball.

LAST NUMBER OF HIGH

sent Popular Entertainment
Next Wednesday Night.

The last number of 1890 High
school lecture course will be pre-
sented at the High School auditor

Laurant enjoys the reputation of
being one of the greatest impersOn-
atOrs of the day and his perform
ances grow in popularity with the
years. The Redpath Lyceum Blu
reau, by whom he is sent to Holly
says of him:
For more than seventeen years
the Great Laurant has been
chautauqua and lyceum headliner.
For more than ten years he has ap-
peared under Redpath manage
ment-a fact which speaks for it.
self During the years which he
has devoted to the lyceum platform
many offers from vaudeville and
theatrical managers have been
turned aside by Mr.. Laurant be-
cause he believed in the lyceum as
greater field in which to present
his work. In fact as a charter
member of the International Ly-
ceum association, he has had no
small part in the development of
this organization and the lyceum
movement as whole.
"The high esteem in which he is
held by the members of his own pro
fession is evidence in the fact that
he was given a gold medal by the
Society Of American Magicians. He
has also appeared on several Occa-
sions before societies OF scientific
research.

tent to let well enough alone or to
rest upon his laurels. Each season
he has endeavored to make his en-
tertainment better than the last"

DIR. COLBY CONTINUES
TO FOUNDER AROUND
Devoted Most Of Sunday Evening
Discourse to Defense Of His At
tituds on Community Church.

tltuoe on community CnuIcn.
DR.. Colby began what promised
to be an interesting sermon at the
Baptist church last Sunday even
ing but greatly disappointed his
congregation after they had become
interested, by switching of on a
TRADE against The Chieftain and
its editor which occupied the
greater portion of the balance OF
the evening service hour.
The doctor fully maintained the
Inconsistency which has character
lied his attitude throughout the
controversy the past few weeks
relative to the community church
idea. His efforts to arouse the
prejudice of the people of the Bap-
fist church against the local paper
in view of the well known friendly
feeling which has existed between
the church and it's pastor and The
Chieftain in the past, were indeed
so ridiculous as to be amusing, and
from street comment on his discourse
since, it would appear that If any
one is doing the local Baptist
church an injury it is DR.. Colby in
his present manifestly dictatorial
and intolerant attitude.
Like many others who want the
local paper to tear into" every
thing in the town or community
which they do not like or approve
OF, the doctor vociferously asked
why The Chieftain did not go after
the gambling element, the school
building, and other things instead
of him, and followed by saying
that he and the Baptist church
were going to clean up the gamb-
Llers and make Holly clean town.
This is laudable task indeed,
and, unless the doctors egotism
gets the better of him to the ex-
tent that he becomes bigger than
the reform which he has espOused
he will doubtless have the support
of the better element of the town
and entire community. But not q
few are firing OF his display OF ego
tism and intolerance.
The doctors discussions from the
outset have given the impression
that he alone speaks for the Bap-
list church and that only he has q
license or right to, change his religi-
Gus or other views. that the Opfh-
ions of others are incOnSeQuental
and their motives questionable.
In conclusion The Chieftain had
not expected to continue this con-
troversy to such length but the
nature of its developments have
seemed to make it necessary and
unavoidable. 1t trusts, however,
that the general result may be Of
some service to the community.
