visit, and are ready to enter upon

Quite number from here were at
Bonnie Terre Sunday afternoon to wit
ness the game between Bonnie Terre
and Fredericktown. 1t was as pretty
a game as any one would want to see
up to the 9Th inning, when one of the
gave q decision on a very
close play at the home plate. And it
looked for a while as though it would
be free for all fight, which broke up
the game, with the score standing 8
to in favor of Fredericktown. We
think that it is fine sport to watch
good game of ball when players and
fans conduct themselves in a gentle
manly way; but when it comes to pull
ing off such stuff as was pulled off
it will kill the game for all
respectable people. Mistakes are
made by professional umpires in the
big leagues, and amateur umpires will
make mistakes quite often. So the
players, as well as the fans, should ac-
cept the decisions of the umpires or
quit going to the game. 1t is very
thing to umpire a game
and to be bullyragged by the players
as well as by the fans.
The following prizes were won by
the pupils of the lockwood school at
the State Fair this month: First prize
on book cover designs by the seventh
and eighth grades; second prize on es-
says, by grades FIVE, six. seven and
eight; third prize on each of the fol-
lowing posters: Maps, by the sixth
grade, brush work, allow We Travel"
by grades five and six; paper cutting,
by the primary grades. Crayon
sketches, by the eighth grade. Total
money received in prizes. SIT. This is
an enviable record for our school, and
the teachers and pupils alike deserve
a great deal of credit. The school won
$14 in prizes last year at the State
Fair. You can count on lockwood
school always being in the front rank,
in all of her undertakings.
School will open September 9th, and
with the old building overhauled, and
put in first class condition and the new
high school building practically in a
state of readiness for the opening day,
and besides a good faculty all ready
for work, with most excellent school
spirit among the patrons, Leadwood
should this year surpass any of her
past records, although her records
nave been good for several years past.
A long pull, and strong pull, and all
pull together, will give US a school
equal to the best in the state.
