three miles west of Lawrenceville,
was aroused from his slumber by q

orally are people who use the high

Secretary Holm said that the aver

cause many machines are taking the
3-year discount of 25 per cent and
that of so per cent on 5-year-old-

and untimely death of our co-worker,
Paul Hilsdale, Superintendent of the

ing Company, we the directors of the
company have lost an assistant, a
guide, counselor, and friend, whose
association, compahionship, and all
around helpful ability will be per-
petually and sorely missed. To know
his was to love him.
Further, Resolved, that Paul
Hilsdale rendered services of very
great value to this company, and in
the business of mining his experience
had been so varied and widespread,
his education so thorough, his indus
try and loyalty so constant, his in
terests so great, his qualifications so
particularly adapted to the needs of
the company, that it will be quite i'm
possible to replace him in the ranks
of the company's executives.
Further resolved that the Board
of directors of the chief Cons. Min
ing Co., hereby expresses to Maud
Fitch Hilsdale, surviving widow and
to Mr.. and Mrs. w. O. P. Hilsdale,

retary of the company, in the absence
of the secretary, do certify and for
ward copies of these resolutions to
Maud Fitch Hilsdale and to Mr.. and
Mrs. w. o. P. Hilsdale, respectively. !"

The horny handed sons of the soil
came back strong in the third with
four scores, while the best the near
ball players could do with friendly
umpiring was to score one. In the
fourth the farmers scored another by
clean hitting, and with combination
of lapses of judgment on the part of
the farmers, the business men took a
temporary lead as in both the fourth
and fifth innings they scored four,
The farmers were unable to cross the

game, the businessmen were pretty
cockey as they were leading the boys
