lushed music for the occasion!
and a baseball game was one of
chief events. i
All went well until about 4 ,

jonn saney duu vm ;
to work upon the feelings of the
men folks, and as a 'natural con
saquence a general melee fol
lowed a free for all fight,
One William Clay, by trade a
painter and by professin' on a
sport, stepped to the fore and an
nounced that he could lick any
two negroes on tiie grounds,
whereupon some blood-thirsty
companion who craved this dis
dinction, struck him on the nose
with a bat. At the same instance
some one from behind ripped
out a razor and did the carving
act, cutting a gash -seven inches
in length, ranging trom the pit
of the stomach to the right hip.
Clay is in a precarious condition
andls is feared that peritonitis
will develop. Dr. Sam Mont
gomery dressed the wounds.
After Clay was stretched out
the band ceased to play and the
crowd disapersed, the partipants
of Lthe row going in a dhosen
direction. .

We sore sorry for :a iew inac-
curacies in publishing the pro
gram far the township Sunday
School Convention of Ns. 2 and

have !said Messrsr W J. Mc
Laughlin and Charles Hamilton,
township vice-presidents.
Also we omitted to say tha
Rev. Preston, the pastor at Pat
terson's Millji church will make
;an address, subject: The Essen
ttials to Success in the .Sunday

The errors are probably due to
receiving the messsage over trie

IHtten On the Nose By a Dog.
Dr. Young was called to No.
5 township Sunday, to lress a
wound on the face of a small
child of Mr. Mack Earnhardt.
The child and the dog were in
. the yard, and as the dog had
finished - his noonday - meal
he nabbed the child on the
nose, inflicting a painful and ngly
wound.
It is not thought that the dog
had rabies, but a watchful eye
will be kept on his dogship and
in case signs develop the child
will-receive the attention of
special treatment by experts.

Last tall I sprained my left
hip while handling some heavy !
boxes. The doctor, 1 called on
said at first that it was a slight
strain and would soon be well,
but it grew worse and the doctor
then said I had rheumatism. It
continued to grow worse and I
could herdly get around to work.
I went to a drug store and the
drnggibt recommended me to try
Obacberlain's Pain Balm. I
tiled it and one-haif of a 50-cent
bottle cured me entirely. I now
recommend it to all my friends.
