CORWDED GRAND STAND
WITNESSES GAME. SOUTH
END BEATS NORTH
END.
A fast game of ball-was play-
ed on the Mexia League grounds
Wednesday afternoon between
the North and South Ends of
our Mexia Ball teams, the South
winning by a close score of 13
to 14.
The features of the game
was home runs by Nathan
Pierce on the South End and L.
L. Williamson on the North End,
each one receiving a dollar from
the Grand Stand. Buckner of
the South End team held his
opponents to a few scratch hits
by the misty maze of his puz-
zling balls which were covered
with so much smoke that it was
impossible for the Reds to see
them as they passed, however
Slim Skeeter Reynolds pitched a
dazzling game for the North
Reds, his spitter working every
minute cutting corners and ar-
guing with the umpire for fair
decisions.
Mrs. T. F. Smith and her as-
sistants deserve all credit for
the wonderful success of the
Young Boys game and the man-
ner in which all details were
handled proves Mrs. Smith and
her able co-workers worthy of
any undertaking.
Managers Ben Smith of the
winning South and W. E. Mc-
Kinney of the valant North End
team deserve special mention in
I the manner with which they
i handled the perplexing prob-
j lems as they arose and were
! solved in a most masterful man-
ner, each Manager coaching his
team and changing his line-up
and batting order as though
they had been in the great Ma-
jor League of the world.
Miss Teffis Camp for the
j North team and Miss Desenberg
j for the South pitched the first
inning for their sides and prov-
' ed by their wonderful control
that they could do justice in any
company.
The boxes were beautifully
i decorated by Mrs. F. S. Karner
and Mrs. T. F. Smith and Misses
Pengilly, Desenberg, Denning
| and others we forget to name.
Umpire Karner umpired a
j wonderful game, his decisions,
j many of them being very close
I owing to the speed of the teams
which made it difficult to judge,
though he always decided fairly
| to all concerned.
The game netted the neat sum
j of twenty-five dollars and some
| cents which will go to buy uni-
j forms for our two teams. The
! young men wish to thank the
hearty support of the citizens
j and rooters and ask them to
look out for the next game for
which a challenge has already
! been issued.
At the home of the bride's
brother last night, in the pres-
ence of the immediate relatives
and a few invited guests, John
A. Wacker was united in matri-
mony to Miss Lottie Dickson,
Rev. J. C. Rhodes officiating.
The young couple are social
favorites in Bartfett and
througout this section, and have
numerous firm friends whose
best wishes for their health,
happiness and prosperity will
accompany them. They depart-
ed last night for a brief tour of
Gulf coast resorts. — Bartlett
Tribune.
The bride formerly lived in
Mexia, and has many friends in
our city with whom, we join in
extending congratulations.

DESPONDENCY DUE TO IN-
DIGESTION.
"About three months ago
when I was suffering from indi-
gestion which caused headache
and dizzy spells and made me
feel tired and despondent, I be-
gan taking Chamberlain's Tab-
lets," writes Mrs. Geo. Hon,
Macedon, N. Y. "This medicine
proved to be the very thing I
needed, as one day's treatment
relieved me greatly. I used
two bottles of Chamberlain's
Tablets and they rid me of this
trouble.' Obtainable every-
where.

STATE FAIR
Dallas, Texas.—Art Smith,
the Panama-Pacific Exposition
aviator, costs the management
of the State Fair $10,000.00 to
bring him to Dallas. Smith will
give flights gach day during the
Fair; and six nights. He has
a record of being the greatest
aviator, even greater than the
lamented Lincoln Beachy, who
fell to his death in San Fran-
cisco Bay. At night Smith's bi-
plane is brilliantly lighted as he
loops the loop and goes through
other simular stunts. In the
evening he discharges from his
machine a gorgeous array of fire
works. This presentation has
been termed wonderfully beau-
tiful. It is spectacular, thrilling
and is the most popular feature
with the thousands who visit
the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
THE CLERK GUARAN-
TEED IT.
"A customer came into my
store the other day and said to
one of my clerks, 'have you any-
thing that will cure diarrhoea?"
and my clerk went and got him
a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and said to him, 'if this does
not cure you, I will not charge
you a cent for it.' So he took it
home and came bacK in a day
or two and said he was cured,"
writes J. H. Berry & Co., Salt
Creek, Va. Obtainable every-
where.

TWO MONTHS EARLIER
September First Designated as
Opening Day by the State
Legislature.
The dove season will open
September 1 in Texas, the state
legislature having changed the
season from November 1 to
March 1, to September 1 to
March 1, of each year. The
change of the season will permit
hundreds of hunters in this sec-
tion of the state to sport dur-
ing a time of the year when the
birds are most plentiful in this
part of Texas. In the fall of the
year thousands of doves feast
upon maize, feterita and other
grains harvested during sum-
mer and fall months, leaving as
soon as the crops are gathered
in their entirety. Their depart-
ure in most cases has been made
by November 1, the time or the
opening of the season. Now,
however it is pointed out hun-
dreds and hundreds of doves will
be in the section at the opening
of the season.
The legislature made another
change in the game laws of the
state, however. The last named
change will not be received by
hunters with as much good
cheer as the first. The second
change was the shortening of
the quail season from ninety to
sixty days, the period being
from December 1 to February 1.
It was originally lawful for
hunters to kill quail through the
month of February. The old
quail law also limited the num-
ber of quail to twenty-five, while
the amendment specificall states
that not more than fifteen can
be taken down by one hunter
per day.
Numerous deputy game war-
dens have been appointed, it is
stated, to preserve the safety
of the birds out of the seasons.

they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
