Although separated from Mexico by

of the Seventeenth century, says
John Chapman Hilder in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Prior to this time there
were two important voyages of dis
covery in the North, but such were the
difficulties and so great the distances
that they ended in failure. The first
notable expedition into the vast I'M

avenge a brutal murder they

"CHURCH LEAGUE
BASEBALL PROPOSED
Richmond May See Youngsters
4 and Old Timers Cavort on
Local Diamond

So much interest was aroused
among the ''boys" and ''oldtim-
ers" as a result Of the base ball
game between the tobacco men
and the E. X. Normal team, that
a proposal has been made TO form
a city league here in Richmond,
and put on games about once or
twice week. 1t was suggested
that perhaps Church League
could be organized, with teams
from each of the five or six
churches in. town, playing a cou-
pie of games q week, and alter
mating the teams the next week
with regular schedule It was
believed that the Normal grounds
could be secured upon which to
play the games. A number Of ex-
college players and others who in
their youth were somewhat pl }
fiCient in their national outdoor
sport, have signified their willing
ness to CavOrt over the diamond
once more if the proposed league
is put on foot.
1t is said to be probable that d
call will be issued soon for a
meeting Of representatives Of
men from each church in town to
discuss such a plan. The name Of
M. c. Kellogg has been mention
ed for president of the league.
and if he can be induced to accept,
and issue such a call and fix reg
ulations for the organization,
some "fast" games may be ex-
pected. A regular percentage
table would be kept of the games
played, won and lost, and efforts
would be made to have a box
score published after each game.
Wherever such base ball has
been tried it has generally proven
quite popular and given all the
"boys" both old and young, an op-
portunity for some outdoor exer-
else and lot of fun besides. Re
vival of the Blue Grass League
seems to have fallen through for
this season anyway. SO there
will be little Chance for the fans
to see much base ball here this
season outside Of the Normal
teams games, unless something
like this is put on. Let's hear
from the fans.

ON TAX QUESTIONS
And Are, Therefore, Qualified To
Be Candidates For County
Tax Commissioner

Three Of the four democrati,
candidates for County Tax Com

republican candidates, passed sue

scribed by law a few days ago.
The successful candidates are

Charles r. Martin, of this city
was the only candidate who die
not receive a certificate from the
State Tax Commission at Frank
fort, which grades the papers and
issues certificates emitting the
candidates to hold the office of
County Tax Commissioner, if
elected. SO far. Mr.. Martin had
been the only candidate to Off
cially announce in the papers for
the office. He is taking the mat
ter in good spirit, however, and
his friends say that like the good
democrat he is. he will be found
supporting whoever may win the
democratic nomination.
IT is not generally known but
examinations must also be held
for candidates for County Clerk
and Circuit Clerk. The Circuit
}ESss conducts examination of
those who wish to be candidate
for Circuit Clerk and it is under
stood that the County Judge
must examine candidates for
County Clerk.
1t is not generally known, but
under the new tax law the office
of County Tax Commissioner is
one Of the best paying jobs i'll the
county. Hitherto the sheriff S
office has always been considered
the real fat plum but Tax Com
missioner now runs it Il close
race. In Madison the past, year
the office paid over $1,000 and the
work IS not SO OnerOuS or con-
stant as that OF sheriff.
