In a Return Game

Imboden routed three Pocahontas
pitchers last Friday with eighteen nits.
which netted them eleven runs. This
game was played mt Imboden and was
the play-Off OF the tie game which oc-
Cured there the first Of the season.
Every man ON the team go. ore or
more safe hits. and the Kell brothers
were the individual stars, Clyde get
ting three hits In four trips TO the
plate and Willie four hits in four times
mp. Clyde Kell pitched for Imboden
and allowed only one clean bit and
two scratches.
Partln started the game for POca
but was relieved by Spikes In the
second after FIVE hits had let IN four
runs. Spikes pitched until the seventh
when he was relieved By Lincoln after
allowing ten hits and Eve runs. Lin
coin was hit for three singles which
gave Imboden two more scores.
In spite OF the one slded score TINS
was an almost perfectly felded game,
only one error being credited during
the entire session. Both teams played
brilliantly each robbing the opponents
Of several hits. SchOonover took two
chances on short that should have hits
and Spikes took two from the box
which were almost singles. Davis got
long fly that would have gone for
three or four bases and Peters took
two OF about the same brand.

"When members ship cotton to the

per cent is paid. $4,000 per bale was
advanced in time of shipment this past

ANY Banker will show a member how
to draw the draft and will pay him
the money on it. The Association in

Rains Help Crops

Randolph county crop prospects are
much better since the beneficial rains
the past week. Corn and cotton were
beginning to suffer from lack OF
moisture, more especially in the hill
country. Two more good rains within
the next three weeks will make u
bOuntiful corn harvest and will not
hurt the cotton any.
Many farmers have finished laying
by their cotton but most of them are
planning to stay in the fields for some
time yet.
Crop conditions looked very dis
couraglng until the middle of June
ON account of the late spring. Many
farmers planted early and were forced
to replant This makes the cost OF
their crops this season considerably
more than the average, but with good
prices this fall most of us will come
out on top.
Fruit, berries, melons and vegetables
are doing well and the county fair In
September should bring forth some ex-
hibits Of which the county will he
proud.
The fair catalogue Is about ready
to 90 to press and when you get your
copy. begin Immediately to prepare for
your exhibit. Even If your exhibit
does not win prize, it will show your
neighbors what your place will pro-
duce.
