THAT unless you practice the principles of in
small way, you can in big way?
THAT since the dawn of history, it has been human
ture to regard with compacency those object with
which city is built and intimately surrounded
to regard with blase indifference all except what effects

TO CELEBRATE SixTY-THIRD
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 2oTt

Tomorrow. Wednesday, September
20, will be the sixty-third wedding an
niversary of Charles Ragan, aged SO
years, and his wife. Mary Ragan,
aged 81 years. Mr.. Ragan and wife
are enjoying reasonably good health,
considering their advanced ages. They
are happy in their religious lives,
having been active workers in their
church. Mr. Ragan was a deacon in
the, Somerset Christian church for
35 years, and for 32 years had assist
ed in collection of church dues. When
others had reported failure in this
work Mr.. Ragan responded success
fully. His way differed materially
from that of other collectors. Mr..
Ragan just made a visit to the broth
er indebted to the church, spent the
day with him at a time most appro-
pirate, talked about the needs of the
church, never asked for the money,
but always collected it. He was a
fine bass singer and was greatly
grieved when he by infirmities was
deprived OF that pleasure. He does
not attend church now. but remains
at home Sundays, reads his Bible
and has a worship alone with God.
He prays not alone for his friends,
but for his enemies as WELL and to
the writer. when speaking of his life,
said: And when hear of you or
Jones in sickness | pray for you in
the morning and at night. | know my
prayers have been answered. and
believe in prayer"
Mr. Ragan and wife have two
daughters living, Mrs. Emma Wilson
and Mrs. Lucy Wilson. Mr.. Ragan's
wife was Miss Mary Jones, daughter
of Glass and Permelia Jones. Mr..
and Mrs. Ragan are of Kentucky's
very best people, and wishing for
this twain many more wedding ami
versaries, we also wish this world of
ours were filled with just as good
people as Charles Ragan and wife

Road Bond Issue
Carries In Bath

The bond issue for 100000 to be
used in the construction of hard-sur.
faced roads was voted on in Bath
county Saturday and carried by a ma.
jority of about 725. This is indeed a
progressive step for our sister coun
ty and one which we feel certain they
will never regret as the small in.
crease in taxes will be more than off
set by the pleasure of riding on good
roads, to say nothing of the increase
in value of their lands. The issue
was bitterly fought, but the majority
is a decisive one and speaks clearly
the sentiment of the citizens of Bath
county.

OLD PILL POUNDED
! BY EAGLE BATTERS;
HAMILTON IS WEAK

The Eagles baseball team had little
trouble disposing of the so-called fast
est travelling team out of Hamilton at
Exhibition park, Sunday afternoon,
winning by the score of 10 to 4. The
Eagles pounded the offerings Of three
hurlers for 10 hits good for total of
80 bases.
The Hamilton lads put up a very
poor exhibition of the national game
and from the minute they stepped on
the field there was little question what
the outcome Of the game would be.
The visitors looked very poor in the
fielding practice and played the same
kind Of ball they displayed in prac-
tice.
Minner was called upon to do the
hurting and got himself in bad right
at the start. Sauter cracked out a
double down the right field foul line
and Hoffman was safe on Fftzgibbons'
error when Cy dropped his fly. Gordon
smacked a double to left and both run
ners scored. They did not score again
until the ninth, when Pete eased. up
after obtaining the big lead and let
them hit the ball
start Fireworks
The Eagles started the fireworks in
the first round and scored four runs.
CIV singled to center and went to sec
ond when Kimble muffed the ball.
Reddinghaus also singled and Cy went
to third. Clements hits high one to
Kimble, who muffed the ball, and Cy
scored. Byrkett famed On the squeeze
play Knights bunt right at Gordon and
Reddinghaus was an easy out at the
plate.
Eubanks got hold of one Of Cordon's
high ones and sent a liner into left
field that rolled to the fence for the
circuit, the blow scoring Clements and
Knight ahead of him. After this the
Name was just matter of how many
Nfuns the Birdmen would get.
Gordon went under cover in the third
round after three more runs had been
scored on him and Brock took up the
pitching job, but Jared worse than did
Gordon. He got by the fourth round
with only one run being scored on him,
but the fifth sent him to the bench,
when the Birdmen cracked out five hits
for four runs Kurtz then took up the
job and was hit just as hard, but as
Hamilton did not have any more hurl-
ers he had to remain on the hill.
Hitting is Feature
The hitting of Eubanks and Byrket'
was the feature of the game. Eubanks
grabbed four hits out of five times to
bat including a home run and three
singles while Byrkett, who has MOI
been hitting the ball, connected fol
two triples and one single.
Clements had big day in the fielC
and accepted eight chances without
bobble and many of them were DIM
cult ones. Chef seems to be perman
ent fixture at the keystone sack fol
the Eagles aid is playing a wonderful
brand of game.

Chips and Slips

The name of Charles Robertson will
live in baseball lore alongside those
of Cy Young and Addie JOSS. Hurting
himself to heights attended only twice
before in major league history, the
young Texas lad Sunday. turned the
Tigers back without a hit, without a
run, and without an enemy reaching
first base. The first time this feat
was accomplished in 1904 by Cy Young
and the last time in 1908 by Addie
Joss.
Hamilton came here Sunday after
noon with the high recommendation as
being the strongest team out of the
Ohio city, but turned out to be a very
poor one. Manager Logan stated after
Sundays game that no more teams
would be booked here again on the
recommendation of any one, that he
must know of the record of the team
himself. He is doing this to give the
fans here good ball all summer.
Byrkett found his eye Sunday and
cracked out three hits out of five times
to bat including two triples and a
single.
