LEATHER ROCKER

p When retiring Worthy Master, JOS
eph Whitfield, arrived at Rock Elm
Grange Hall, Saturday afternoon, a

leather-upholstered rocker.
After few words from Mr.. Whit
field, of the appreciation Of the kindly
spirit that prompted the gift, a dainty
repast OF coffee, cake, and ice cream,
crowned by an elaborate, four layer
cake bearing ten candles, emblemati.
cal OF the ten years Mr.. Whitfield has
been Master of the Grange, was served.
When the grange was instituted
twenty-six years ago, Mr.. Whitfield
was charter member and to his un-
firing energy and loyalty it largely
owes its prominent place in the social
life OF the community.
After pleasant social hour together
the company dispersed, with the united
wish that they may long enjoy the COM
panionship Of Mr.. and Mrs. Whitfield.

PLUCK OF YOUNG GIRL
PREVENTS ROBBERY OF
CHARLEVOIX STORE
(Charlevoix Courier, Feb. l6.)


With caps pulled low over their faces
to hide their features, two men enter
ed Hines and Co.'S drug store at
about 6:l0 Wednesday evening while
Mr.. Hines had stepped out for a few
minutes, and demanded with drawn
guns of fourteen-year-old Cleora Smith
the key to the safe. Although she
knew where it was they were refused.
''We'll shoot you," said one. "Go
ahead" she replied. you'll only
have murder on your hands"
Something other than the little girls
pluck must have caused them to desisA
possibly signal from the one stationed
at the door, for after mussing her up a
bit they left without having obtained
anything.
Miss Smith, as quickly as they had
left, ran to the phone and reported it.
Two men were soon under arrest by
Sheriff Weaver but were released later.
AS yet no other SUSPECTS have been ap-
pretended.
Two suspicious characters were seen
lurking in the shadows of d. j. Eek
inger's fishhouse only short time be-
fore the holdup by Mr.. Eckinger. Pre-
sumably these were the two who enter
ed the drug store. The description as
nearly as could be ascertained in both
places was identical. Apparently the
men were middle aged.
Anyone seeing characters whose
movements appear at all suspicious are
urged to notify, the officials at once.
These two no doubt have gone. But
in these days of crime and unemploy-
ment there may be others.

THE CRITICS WIN ARGUMENT

For years now, southern baseball critics have been claiming that Walter Barbare, former third sacker for the New Orleans Peli- cans, was of major league calibre. Several times Walter was called higher, but after a brief trial he was shipped back. Then he got with Pittsburg, and at first was hailed as wonder. Later he was used only as an emergency man, and then he was traded to Boston in the deal for Maranville. Now, after all these years Barbare is coming into his own, and proving that he's one of the best third sackers in the game. Although serving time on a weak ball club, clubbing has been strong, and he's one of the few stars to be found on Capt. Billy Southworth's Brave team.
 While Baron fans were pulling for Whitey Glazner to make good they Sbelieved he would be turned back to the minors, and they cher ished the hope that he would come back to the Baron fold. These hopes were blasted Monday when the for mer Baron went in against the Cubs, held lem to seven scattered hits and won his game In handy fashion.

CENTRAL DEFEATS
 BESSEMER IN THE ONLY LEAGUE CAME

With old north wind cutting the corners and slipping fast ones with constant regularity, only one game in the Jefferson County league was played yesterday. The only contest to be played was the Bessemer- Central affair. which resulted in win for the latter by 13 to 1 score. The Simpson Shades Cahaba and Ensley- Jefferson County games were postponed to some later date. As the local circuit ends it's season next week, these games will likely be played out after the final scheduled contests.
 If the Bessemer Tigers had not pulled their usual late inning blow-up yesterday afternoon, the contest between Coach Col lier's crew and the Central Crimsons would have been tight and very interesting game throughout.
 'Spud" Davis, reformed catcher for the Crmsons, who has been filling the hole at second, featured for the day with five hits out of five times at bat. Almost all of these hits were made with the paths, three of the binges going for two bases apiece. Things looked rather dark for Cen tral when Parsons and Fishbach hammered out home runs In the second inning, but from then on Harris was never in any real danger; These . two homers s,,h which almost

Boyd star shortstop for Bessemer,' made his first error of the season in the eighth inning. Mig" Waller, his running mate. has yet to commit his initial miscue. This pair is probably the best around the keystone sack in the league. Four Central men secured at least three hits. Davis, Drennen, Chambers and Harris were these swatsmiths.
 Boyd and Johnson were the only men to secure two bingles for the losers, one of the latters being three bagger. Three double plays were pulled off by Bessemer with Waller implicated in every double killing. Chambers catching and the work of Young and Davis around second were the fielding features. Harris struck out eight men, allowing three earned runs. Score:
