Enjoyed Fine Vacation

Mr.. Editor:-In renewing our
to the Democrat, we
wish to add few lines that perhaps
may interest some of eur many
friends who are readers of your val
liable paper.
We have been enjoying vacation
for the past two weeks. Ny boys,
Forrest and Pearl Brill of Canton
motored down to Cambridge on the
last day of August and we accompa-
MED them back to their homes,
where on our arrival we met our
daughter and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. u. G. Shaver, who had motored
from their home in Detroit, Mich
During the first part of the week we
were entertained nicely at the home
of the Brill boys and also with other
friends. We also visited the open
ing of the First National bank build
ing in Canton, which is grand beyond
description. The ceiling alone cost
$4,000.
On Thursday following Mr. and
Mrs. Shaver and / motored to Rural
Dale, where / was the guest of my
sister and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. o. w. Ross, for the week, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaver motored to
High Hill and visited friends, aud
on the following Thursday they
came down from High Hill to Rural

Quite number of hunters from
a distance have been overrunning
the farms in this vicinity during the
past week. The greater part of the
hunters who live here have some
consideration for the farm owner,
from a distance seem to think the
farms are public property while the
open season lasts. j. d. Sealock
and daughter Blanche and her hus-
band, Mr.. Ashton, and little son, all
Of Columbus, have been spending
several days with friends at Wood
grove and other points here. Prof
Raymond GilGland is teaching the
present year in college in Chicago.
He is making quite success in his
chosen profession. !. Fred Stout has
sold his farm at Olive Green to his
SON Ora and has bought the David
Stout farm Of William Ziler. They
have each moved to their new To-
cation. y We understand Earl Brown
will move from the Brookfield par
sonage in Noble county, to the Fred
Walls farm in this township, owned
by the DR.. e. D. Rex heirs. Mrs.
Gertrude Gilliland and her brother
Clarence Wilson spent several days
recently at the Gilliland farm near
here. Hiram Henderson of Wood
grove and Miss Bernice Rex of Nc
Connelsville were united in mar
riage a few days ago. They were
given a rousing serenade at the J.
F. Elliott home on Tuesday evening
of last week. The w. o. Ford fam
lily will remain in Youngstown
through the coming winter. Mrs
Ford has had very poor health dur
ing the greater part of the summer.
There will be some very good
fields of corn here if the frost holds
off long enough for it to ripen
Miss Alta Cain of Woodgrove and
Benz. Dovenbarger were united in
Monday. IS. w. Brill left
here Monday as representative of
the K of P. lodge, to the meeting of
the grand lodge which is in session
at Springfield this week. DIR. H. L. |

AT The Williams Home

On last Friday a number of the
G. A. R. boys and some of the W. R.
c.. went to the home of Comrade
VIM. Williams on Center street, Nc
Connelsville, to Remind him that h8

The forenoon was spent in re-
lating experiences of army life, and
in social conversation. Then came
the dinner-pie, cake, mashed po-
tatoes, chicken galore, etc. Billy s
he is called, was the recipient OF
some tokens of things to remember.
Among them was a box of fine con-
dictionaries from George DuvalPs
and a box from the w. r. c. We
noticed at the table: where one OF
the w. r. C. ladies sat to eat. that.
a big lot of bones was there, such
ones as usually have the best pick
ing on. The dinner was fine and aIf
paid their respects to it in fine
shape

speeches, singing and in general
good time. Comrade Flanders had
charge of the singing for which he
has considerable talent. Mrs. M. M
Mcdonald gave fine talk, as did the

Eight comrades were present. Com
rade Williams is well preserved for

his sight, he goes and comes about

ing administered to City Post Office
yesterday by the Commissioners in

to defend their title.
Home-run clouts by Steele, Ken
nedy and Lynn won for the Com

single. City Post Office presented
worthy slugger in Jones, who drove
three hits in four trips to the plate.
The Commissioners have won the last
three out of four games in the gov
ernment series, having dropped one
game to General Accounting Office.
Play will be resumed in four
leagues today, weather condltlons
permitting. Naval Hospital will tackle
o'clock on the east diamond of the
Ellipse in the Government League,
while Navy and Bureau viii be op-
ponents in the Departmental loop at
the aame hour on the Ellipse. Annex
No. j and Annex No. 2 will meet in
the Treasury Department inter bu-

the Chief Inspectors, winning 20 to 6,
in the Post Office interdepartment
series. Devlin, Blum and Newman
batted well.

Johnny EverS of tn,

"Good pitching is not a thing Of the
past" said Walsh. This new genera
tion of pitchers is going to turn out
as many stars as the old days, and
the rule to keep the balls in play
as long as possible is big help to
the newcomers. When they were
shooting that new ball into the game
every time it became the least bit
soiled or some batter lodged COM
plant, it was pretty tough on the fell
lows to strike their stride, and many a
rookie went back to the bushes be-
fore he got fair start
The lively ball, and so many of
them new, tossed into the game was
largely responsible for the heavy hit
ting and the home-run epidemic
When you look back into the old
days you will not find so many home
runs. Runs came home on singles,
and fast baserunning was a big fac
tor. The old sacrifice, the stolen base
and general inside stuff won most of
the ball games
in the old days a pitcher turned
in a lot more games than some of
the fellows of today, but that's not
the fault of the present-day twirlers.
He may be just as good as the old
timer, and just as willing to work,
but he doesn't get into the game as
often"
