His talk was both interesting and instruc- tive.
 A feature of the program was the many show birds exhibited in the show windows of the business houses of the city. Nearly every busineSs house gave op show window to permit the exhibiting of show birds. Many breeds were exhibited Chicken day" prom ises to become an annual event of considerable importance in Hemp stead county.

Gently resigned the Office and asked

Ned went, but he opined that he
was just the kind of black cat that
would sure come back. The game
went on-the dice clicked, ratified and
rolled-"Come seben, come leben."
And then the battle of Verdun broke
loose-machine gun bullets ratified
and the colored regiment tried to
escape from the trenches-some went
over the top, some went out of the
garret window. Three tried to get
out of the window at one time and
they got stuck while Harris pump
gun kept busy and Jim Tull fell
wounded in the eye.
Soon the battle field was deserted
and Harris and his machine gur corp
withdrew and proceeded to "wet up"
and celebrate the glorious victory
they had won, but the dice-rattlers
are still a'runnin', 'cordin' to reports.
Harris returned to the battle
ground Friday night and found that
the enemy had once more entrenched
there. Again he opened up on them.
Again they vamoosed. Windows were
soon filled with scared coons. When
the battle was over and Harris had
retired to his headquarters, one of
the enemy crawled out from under
the house-"Oh, Man Oh, Man
Ed Harris sure am some bad nigga"
Harris has skipped for parts un-
known and Tull is in hospital with
bad eye.

PRINCESS ANNE
OUT OF LEAGUE
Decision Was Made At Meeting Oh
The Clubs Directors Held Last
Friday Night.

Announcement was made Tuesday
that Princess Anne had decided to
drop out of the newly roganized Eas-
tern Shore League, and the decision
of the Somerset countians to leave
the fold came as great surprise to
the baseball enthusiasts of this sec
ton. 1t is said that meeting of the
be called within a few days. and that
every effort will be made to have the
Princess Anne Club reconsider its de-
cision.
The main reason for the withdraw
al, according to the report emanating
from Princess Anne, was that suit
able baseball field could not be OBJ
tanned without it being necessary to
go about a mile from town. II was
stated that there are several lots suit
able for baseball purposes right at
the edge of the town limits but that
prohibitive prices had been asked for
them.
Last year, Princess Anne used the
Washington High School grounds for
their baseball contests, but as this
field had been considered too small
for league diamond, Princess Anne
found it necessary to seek elsewhere
forNa suitable site, with discouraging
results.
The decision to drop out of the
league was made at a meeting of the
board of directors of the Princess
Anne team held last Friday night,
and since that meeting it has been
said that those stockholders who sub
scribed to stock in the newly organ
lied league club had been released
from their subscriptions and that the
money of those who already had paid
for their stock had been returned.
