James H. Richards, a citizen of
Weatherford forty years ago, now a
prominent raal estate man of Port-
land, Oregon, arrived in the city
Wednesday morning for a two days’
visit to his old friends. Despite tho
fact that Weatherford has grown
and prospered, streets pgved and
hundreds of handsome residences
been erected, Mr. Richards was en-
abled to go alone to the old home
place where he lived prior to leaving
here in 1882. The place where he
lived is on Water street, and L. M.
Bailey was his, next door neighbor.
The house still stands as it was with
the exception of an added room, and
is occupied by Mrs. Phillips. Mr.
Richards is related by marriage to
a number of citizens in the Newberry
community and will visit that locali-

SPRINGTOWN HOLDS
SCHOOL REUNION jIND
MEMORIAL SERVICES
The regular annual reunion of the
students of the Fronabarger and Mc-
Cracken schoolb was held at Spring-
town last Tuesday. A large crowd
was in the little city for the occas
ion, and a program that was interes*
ing and entertaining was given.
In the morning, memorial service?
were held. Following an appropriate
opening at which J. D. Hutcheson
presided, the crowd went, to tho
cemetery where the graves were
docorhtd with ceremony.
AF the' noon hour, an old fashioned
dinner was served which was a
feature of the day.
Hon. R. B. Hood, a former student
of the Fronabarger school, was the
principal speaker of the day. Among
the other speakers were Mrs. Mag-
gie Oammll, John Nix and Dr. Wil-
kerson of Chico. Mrs. Ben Hiair
sponsored a short program given by
local people while a Springtown
orchestra furnished music for the oc-
casion
Early in 1890 Prof. John Fronabar-
ger went to Springtown,' where lie
opened a private school, and in a
very short time built up an institu-
tion that, attracted pupils not only
from the immediate locality, but
from surrounding communities. A
short time alter his opening, John
McCracken also went to Springtown
and built a rival school. Both the
schools prospered and it was only
a short tie until Springtown was
known ns the educational center of
a large scope of territory lying west
of Fort Worth, and the character and
efficiency of the schools attracted
pupils from nearby counties and
even distant states. There was just
enough rivalry between the schools
to make it interesting, and keep the
enthusiasm at its highest pitch. Mr.
Fronabarger was a Baptist and of
course catered to the boys and girls
of that religious faith, while Mr.
McCracken was a Methodist and he
specialized on Methodist "children.
However neither of the schools were
denominational, and there were oases
where the pupils were mixed so far
as religious activities were concern-
ed. For several years, the schools
continued growing each year, and if
is said that the enrollments at one
time In each of the schools was
Ground 500.
The scbols flourished at a time
WKen our public school facilities, es-
pecially in the sparsely settled dis
tricts of West Texas were not the
best, and through some special ar
rangements. these schools took care
of the public school interests. Many
in this county
were students in the school. Other
pupils have scattered' ovbr the state
and a few even now reside in dis-
tant states, but the memory of the
days spent in the little city ’ of
Springown attending school is still
retreshing, and many attend the re-
unions which are held annually.
While the schools were in their
very heights, a peculiar kind of fever
struck the little' city and several
almost instant deaths in- the com-
munity disrupted the schools for a
period and as conditions were chang-
ing in the educational lines, the
school after a short- vacation, never
again gained its former popularity.

dark and gloomy. However, the
eighth loomedu p as an offiet to the
hard luck of the seventh, when the
Antelopes again forged ahead only to
be tied again in the 9th, winning a
very hectic ball game in the 10th,
when Curtis beat the world's record
going from first to third on an in-
field scratch hit.
The latter innings were played in
a drizzling rain, wetting the top Fand.
causing the bail' to pick up mud and
dry dirt at the same time, making at
infield hit difficult to handle. Rig-
gins misjudged two at short, some-
thing he never does When the dia-
mond is fast. However, Cotton made
up for all mistakes in the seventh
when a bad bouncer by Larkin
jumped over Kirkpatrick’s head. Rig-1
gins was right there with the back
up, caught the ball on the bounce
and pegged to first in time for the
last out. It was a noble play and
the s'nods cheered
Owing lo the da-K, niurkv atmos-
phere, Curtis muffed a fly in left
field, someth'ng he was never known
to do before. Verily, it was a hard
day for the fielders.
The Antelopes offset fielding dis-
crepancies by opportune showers of
hits totalling 15, more than in any
game played this season. Holden,
the slow ball artipt of the M. & F. oc-
casionally put something on the tyali.
marking up a total of 11 strikeouts.
Fowler pitched four innings, when
Danley relieved him and pitched
good for two innings. In ihe start
of the seventh, -Danley weakened
and a succession of three hits coupled
wilh a walk, scored three men. Ward
then went in and retired the side
without further scoring. Ward was
rwild in the ninth, when with a walk
an error a hit and two wild pitches
two more scores were added, making
the score 7 all. In the tenth the
visitors were quickly disposed of.
and the Antelopes came up with a
determination to do or diS. Riggins
went out at’ first. Curtis was safe
when Larkin fumbled, and went to
third when Kirk’s high bouncer went
over Holden’s head and settled to
an easy rest half way between the
box and- second base. Then Ward
came up and knocked a long saerri-
fice fly to center, scoring Curtis with
the winning run and the game was
over.
In the second, Ward hit safely by
th-i pitcher's box and Hodges bunted
successfully down third base line
Renshaw then walked, filling the
bases with none out. Fowler then
fanned. Renshaw played off first too
far and was caught off the bag and
was chsed by Ware forcing Ward to
try for home, but was thrown out
at the plate, Hodges and Renshaw
occupying 2nd and 3rd. The score
might have been different had Ren
played safe. Logan then came up
and hit a beauty to right, scoring
Hodges and Renshaw. Hill fanned,
closing the session. Two scores were
again marked up in the third when
after Riggins popped to Younger,
Curtis hit safely and (hen stole sec
ond. Kirk flew to colter, Curtis
being held on second. Ward cam®
up and sent one over center field
good for two bases, but counted for
a home nip when the ball was lost
in the weeds.
In the eighth Petty flied to center.
Logan walked and Hill fanned. Two
out and Logan far from home. Rig-
gtns came up and with a hit to
left, changed the appearance of
everything. Curtis was next andi

A Good Baptist Meeting.
The Baptist Workers' meeting held
with Mt. Carmel church Monday night
and Tuesday was a great one. Mon-
day night Bro. D. P. May gave us an
excellent sermon. Tuesday we had a
good attendance and from the very
start the spirit of the Lord seemed to
be upon the people and many inspira-
tional talks were made in the opening
service of the morning. Then we had
a fine sermon by Bro. H. A. Thomp-
son on a New Testament Church, fol-
lowed by an offering for associational
missions which amounted to $51. The
next meeting will be at Greenwood
