"Monte Cristo", one OF the best
J pictures that has been seen in Farm
ington for long time, was the at
/ traction at the Monarch last Thurs
! day and Friday nights. A large
crowd was highly entertained by the
pictures the first night, but there was
small audience present the second
night, due to the hard rain.
Rain began to fall last Friday af-
ternoon, and continued uninterrupted
! throughout the night. The splendid
downpour could hardly have been
more needed, and was real blessing.
The rain also brought very notice
able lowering of the temperature,
/ ial, Lne ctt
caused fires and winter wraps to be-
come popular and comfortable.
Only a moderate sized crowd was
out t. see the ball game last Friday
afternoon at Desloge, between the st.
Louis Cardinals and the local team,
though the play was full of interest.
The weather was threatening rain
when the game started, and gradual
! " grew worse until the game was
called at the end of the sixth inning,
with the score to in favor Of the
Cardinals. Tim McCabe won the lau-
rel wreath for the home boys, playing
like a big Lacquer throughout. In
fact be was big Lacquer until few
years ago, when his arm failed, caus-
ing him to retire from professional
playing. The four scores entered to
the credit of the home team was due
to Tins splendid stick work. The bas-
es were full when Tim came to bat,
and landed the ball over the fence.
Then, too, he made sensational stop
of a hot grounder from his position on
first, which was the most outstanding
play of the game. Young Edgar, of
Ironton, also made several brilliant
plays at short. as is usual with him.
