Deport and Fulbright played
two Kames of ball Monday
Tuesday. Monday’s frame
played at Fulbright, and the f
»lure was a pitcher’s battle be-
tween Samples of Fulbright and
and Hall of Deport. \ There were
ttttree hits made-efr each twirler
and five errors marked against
each team. The score stood 2 to
Oin favor of Fulbright. Batteries:
Deport, Hall and Lawler; Pul-
bright, Samples and Furgerson.
Tuesday’s game was played at
Deport, and was not as good as
the game the day before. The
errors and hits were too numer-
ous to keep account of, and the
loose fielding of the Deport team
was largely responsible for the
high score. The score: Fulbright
10; Deport 4. Batteries: Ful-
bright, Hill and Furgerson; De-
port, Lawler, Hall and Lawler.
A one-handed, running catch of
a long fly to deep right by Cor-
bett Avery is worthy of mention.

Mrs. Lucy Hay dock, a widow
who lives at Deport, filed an ap-
plication in the county clerk’s
office Friday, asking that she be*
appointed guardian of the estate
of her two minor sons, Edwin
and Richard. The application
alleges that their father died
about ten years ago and that
they have no guardian of their
estate, which consists of an in-
terest in the estate of their great
aunt, Mrs. Mary A. Rarrett,
pending in Henderson County,
Ky. The application alleges that
it is necessary for a guardian to
be appointed to represent them
in the division of the estate.—

Chinch Bugs Hurting Corn
A correspondent writing to
th« Detroit Herald, says: »
/ “We hear a great deal of com-
plaint about the chinch bugs
hurting corn, especially where
oats and wheat have been har-
vested near by. J. W. Beard had
eight acres of corn completely
ruined by the chinch bugs. He
had several acres of wheat ad-
joining his corn, and after the
wheat was harvested the bugs
left it and went to the corn, and
now it looks as if a fire had gone
through it. Everyone had better
take warning and not plant corn
near oats and wheat.”

large crowds. The singers of
the town are lending their co
operation and Mrs. W. A: Erwin,
who is an accompanist of more
than ordinary ability, presides at
the piano.
Evangelist Erwin is a scholar-
ly gentleman and is preaching
soul stirring sermons. It is hoped
that many will be converted and
lasting good accomplished dur-
ing this meeting. The co opera-
tion of all Christian people is
requested, and unbelievers, for
whose special benefit meetings of
this character are held, are urged
to attend.
If we were asked the above question with
reference to opening a bank account, our first
answer would be efficient service, strongest pro-

with sound banking methods. Look into the
matter and be convinced that this Is no vain

Card of Thanks
A town that never has any-
thing to do in the w^y of public
improvement is in the cemetery.
Anybody who will do nothing for
his town is helping dig the grave.
A man who will knock his town
is luroishing the coffin. The one
so selfish as to have no time from
his business to give to city af-
fairs is making the shroud. The
merchant who will not advertise
is driving the hearse. The man
who is always howling hard
times is preaching the funeral
services. And thus the town lies
buried, free from sorrow and
free from care.—Ex.
In this, the darkest hour of
our lives, we wish to thank all of
our friends for their kindness
and help during the illness and
at the death of our mother. Mrs.
A. E. Woolley. May God shower
His richest blessings upon each
of you as lavishly as you have
measured your loving remembr-
ance out to us. Her Children.

On the sofa they were seated,
the engagement was quite new:
in a ring he had invested—she
had promised to be true. "If a
doubt e’er comes between us,”
she began with a pout, but the
young man moved up closer and
left no room for doubt.---Ex.
- A Word of Appreciation
It being impossible for me to
see all of my friends personally,
I take this means of expressing
my appreciation to those who so
loyally and generously support-
ed me in the Nobles—Read piano

Our Great Sale was due to close Saturday night, July 3rd. Business was very satisfactory
during this sale, except the last week, and on acconnt of rain we did not do as much business as
we expected to. _ Therefore, in order to move back into our building with a Clean, New Stock of
Dry Goods as we wished to do, we have decided to
Continue this Sale Through the Remainder of July.
Prices will remain the same, except on a few lines that were closed out, and we have ordered new
goods. On new goods prices will be slightly higher, although many articles will be sold for less than
they were during the first nineteen days of this great money-saving sale.
■s %
We wish to thank the public for favors shown during this sale, for a friend in need is a friend indeed.
