CherO-C olas Win Pennqnt After A
Hard Fight --Two Teams Tie Tue
Games, Win One Each, Then Finish

The Chero Colas have again won
the City League Penuant But they
had a much harder fight this year
than they had last year The three
teams were tied for the pennant very
near the end Of the season, then the
Retailers dropped out Of the race and
the Chero Colas and Shops were tied
for the honors.
A series of two out Of three games
was played the past week, but due to
the first games being tied there were
five games played, The Shops played
good baseball but were simply out
classed by the mighty victors
In the final game Friday, Howard
was the hero. He made several beau
tiful catches in center field He caught
one ball which robbed the Shops Of
home run. At the bat he did equally
as well He secured two hits out Of
three times at bat, one Of which was
home run.
Oscar Burris on the mound for the
Chero Colas pitched beautiful base
ball and allowed but four hits.
This ends the games Of the City
League for this season. Many thanks
to the President, Board of Control, |
umpires, players, score-keeper, team
and all others who helped
to give Columbus the clean, good,
baseball they have en-
joyed the past season. May it be as
good next year

Of the five games played;

WOMEN KILLED
IN C. & G. YARDS
Icey Taylor Meets Instant Death
Under Car WheeIs.-Her Sister
Dies in Hospital.

Two negro women were killed il
the yards of the Columbus and Green.
vile Railroad about $3.50 o'clock or
Thursday night. Icey Taylor was
decapitated by the car wheels and OF
course died instantly. Her sister
Julia Taylor, had one of her arms cut
off and was injured internally. She
was carried to Doctor Brewers Hos
pital, but died before anything could
be done for her,
From what we could learn, the two
women were sitting on the railroad
track at the end Of a string of five
box cars. Not knowing they were
there, the engineer Of the switch en-
CINE bumped another string of freight
cars against the five with the result
That before they could jump from the
track the women were caught by the
wheels and crushed.
The women were both Columbus
negroes and lived in Burns Bottom.
Mr.. Fred Shull was called from
Gunter Bros. undertaking parlors to
take charge of the body of Icey
Taylor. Before moving the body,
however, he sent for Mr.. c. M.
Reeves, justice of the peace, in order
that an inquest might be held. Mr.
Reeves, however, did not think an
inouest necessary, and gave Mr.. Shull
permission to move the remains with
out that formality.

EVANS FAMILY
ENJOY DINNER
Sixty-Five Members Of PrOmi-
nent Old Family Enjoy Re-
Union and Barbecue.
juice Place.

Incidental to the reunion of the
family of the late DR.. and Mrs. W. A
Evans, of Aberdeen, which is being
held near Columbus this week, q
barbecue dinner was given that was
one Of the most enjoyable events OF
its character ever held in the South
Under the majestic spreading oaks
Of the "Julee Place" of Mr.. C. w.
Evans, long famous for the barbe-
cues of the Evans family, there we're
gathered sixty-five members of the
Tribe of Evans" from various parts
Of the globe Some were there from
Panama, from Old Mexico, from Tex
as, Tennessee, Georgia.. Mississippi,
and the far-famed Doctor w. A. Ev-
ans, from Chicago.
These representatives of the Evans
family assembled upon the invitation
of Mr. and Mrs. w. G. Evans, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w Evans, Mr.. and Mrs. Jen-
nings |. Sturdivant, Mrs. J. j. Evans,
Mrs. Mary H. Evans, Mr.. j. J. Evans,
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Herring, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Swoope, all an
xious to do honor to the relatives who,
from all over the country, had chosen.
this section in which to hold their
reunion.
The dinner table, in its cover as
white as snow, groaned beneath the
weight of the best efforts of each
household. There we're cakes SUCH
as only mother could make, or "aun-
ty." There was an abundance of
pickles, jellies, salads, bread, tea, cof-
fee, Brunswick stew, lamb and pork
barbecued, the recipes for which had
been handed down for generations.
After the guests had all assembled
for the feast, Mr.. James Cunningham
invoked the blessings of God upon
the gathering. Then a toast, with
crystal water from an over-flowing |
well, was drunk to the absent ones. |
A splendid sight, unusual and
charming, was the seating of four
generations around the festal board
Mrs. ]. ]. Evans represented the
first. Ann Evans Swoope, the at
tractive granddaughter of the late
Captain and Mrs. Thomas Evans, rep
resented the fourth generation.
When the feast was over, and the
negroes from the plantations OF the
hosts has RECALLED themselves, the
entertainment began. First there was
a sermon. Then there were songs
Of wonderful harmony. Next came
a vocal solo, and then "set" dancing
the like of which had never been seen
by number of those present.
Exceedingly difficult would it be-
TO have finer representation or
scene more typical of the Old South
than this gathering of the Evans
family.
The setting of the sun behind the
western hills, its dying rays bathing
In golden glory the corn, cotton ana
alfalfa fields, was the signal for the
home going. And the separation was
"the end Of a perfect day."

SEE BETTER TINES
Optimism Shown in Business
Circles, Says Drum Report.
Gradual Liquidation of Loans,
Declares Head of Bankers.

There is a better feeling in bust
ness circles; there is a gradual Gqui-
dalton of loans and commodities, but
few retailers have taken their losses
and are selling goods at prices based
on the present wholesale prices" de-
clares a summary of financial condi-
tons in Kansas prepared by John S.
Drum. president of the American
Bankers association, with the assist
ance of practically every bank in the
state. A copy of President Drums re-
port has been received by J. R. Ans
paugh, secretary of the Kansas State
Bankers association.
High freight rates and taxes and
slow adjustment of labor conditions
are characterized as ''millstones around
the neck of business
The Summary.
The summary follows in part:
"a moderate surplus of agricultural
products and a large surplus of live
stock is reported in central. southern
and northwestern Kansas. Production
is reported to be nearly as great in
1921 as in 1920. Reductions in the
cost of labor, and to smaller extent OF
materials are reported to have brought
about q decrease of about one-fourth
in the cost of agricultural products
Kansas farmers have experienced, OF
course, the common reduction in the
price of agricultural products. The
reduced price of oil is reported to
have resulted in a curtailment of pro-
duction.
"An increase in the output of many
flour mills and packing houses is re-
ported to have taken place in the last
few months. Costs of production have
declined in the last year and in the
last six months, the items decreasing
in the following order: Materials, Ia
Dor, money, construction costs. An In
crease in taxation and stationary
transportation costs are reported in
the manufacturing districts.
Foreign sales of wheat and flour
are reported to have increased about
one-fourth in the last year. largely
within the last six months. The vol
ume of frozen credits has been con-
siderably reduced and the demand for
short-time credits is reported to be
less than it was year ago"
