tomobile trip which win take them

Middletown, Mass. They carried a

This afternoon on Lincoln campus
the Barre X, of G. team will meet the
East Barre A. c. beginning at AIS
sharp. O'Leary, who was to have
pitched for the local team, could not
appear so will be substituted by Ber-
nard Starr. The local team will have
strong organization in the field this
afternoon and promises good fast
game, the team having been strength
ened by Starr, Wilson and Parks.
The old fighting spirit of the Blue
Sox team, once we'll known in Barre
and vicinity in connection with the
Sunset league of few years back, has
been greatly irritated by the constant
brandishing of the east hill victory
flag. This east hill team will have an
opportunity next week TO meet these
old timers, as they may now justly be
termed. The lineup will consist of
some of the following: Clarence Bish-
op, James Levie, William Stuart,
James, p. Fraser, A. Mackay, G. Fow
lie, N. Brown, R. Phillips, L. Mackay
and r, Wishart.
The beautiful three and three eighth
karat diamond in ring setting which
was mentioned in these columns few
days ago as having come into the pos
session of +. L. Burr, the Barre jewel
er, has been the object of good deal
of attention by diamond fanciers and
prospective purchasers ever since the
announcement. As stated at that time,
Mr.. Burr is receiving bids for the dia-
mond and he has already received an
offer of $1,000 for the ring but has not
let it GO The valuable clock which
Mr.. Burr is offering at dollar less
each day has not yet been snapped up,
although three days have elapsed since
the offer started.

than any act she had committed or

the expression is now almost forgotten
and the conditions in France are such

preston. This is my war, TO which
was given a place in history half
century ago.
Gambctts apparently never gave his
authority The French marshal TO
whom the words were supposed to have
been addressed did not in after years
confirm the popular report. Persons
