Olar Defeats Ehrhardt.

Last Thursday Olar defeated Ehr-
hardt in a fast game of base ball on
the Olar diamond by score of 5. to 2.
Both teams at times gave exhibitions
-of real playing, but the single out
standing feature was contributed by
Zeigler of the visitors when he in
vaded the territory Of centerfield and
made a flying tackle at and sensa-
tional stab of a long drive, the Olar
fans, though, preferred calling it pre-
meditated robbery.
For several innings the score stoou
at 1 to 0, and then for severas more
it stool 2 to 0 in favor Of the Ehr-
hardt boys. But in the last half of
the eighth, with three hits on the
part of Olar, and three errors to the
debit of the visitors, the locals put
across five runners for safeties. And
it was thus the game ended. Batter
les we're, for Ehrhardt, Kirkland and
Bullock, while the defenders of the
mound and home plate for Olar were

The Band of Hope.

When the, wife Of Joe Belts, an
Alabama darkey, died he mourned
her sincerely. "I'se going to put a
black border to my house." he said to
one of his neighbors.
And he did. A week later a broad
band of black outlined the front OF his
little dwelling.
A couple of years passed. Then
one of his neighbors,- stopping to
speak to Joe, found him gazing up at
his little black-ledged house with an
air of perplexity.
cit lasts we'll, Joe,' said the
neighbor in a tone of sympathy, out
the black grows a little rusty. You
will put on another coat?"
"Yessuh," said Joe. ''Daisy Moore
she says it needs one other coat OF
paint
"Daisy Moore! Oh! But has she
said another coat of black paint
Joe?"
"Uh!" grunted Joe, and then MS
loook of perplexity vanished in $40"
grin. "I'se going to ask her tonight
he added briskly.
Two days later the sympathetic
neighbor, passing again, was greeted
bv Toe from a ladder set against the
house.
"How does yo' like it," he asked
waving his paint brush toward the
band of bright red glowing across the
top OF the little house. DAISY moore e
