The question is; Where will the Koxl oro t 'am stand on (lie ilia niond, compared with tier opponents? I his is a hard question to an-wer, for there are inanr provis s. We have some good n aterial thir time, but unless it is put in good shape, of course it will be worthless. To have a good base hall team, it requires practice, and constant hsrd practice at that. There are lots of men who are always-anxious to play on the first team, and could get a place would they only try, but tbey grow tired too soon and cease practice, and such men can not be relied upon at all times. Sometimes they play a most brilliant game and then again they are completely off. We want. men who will practice regularly and steady themselves down, and inclose games we can depend upon Ihem. bo let no man, because he is a good player, come out to practice about once a week and think he has at tained to the highest degree of per fection Wc are going to meet some of the strongest teams this year that we have ever met, and in order to atand any showing with them what ever, we must begin practice at once and ptit up some strong team work. We have alrea ly arranged several games with some of the strongest col fga teams of the State, and un ess we want, to be hacked ami zue.i when w.- meet them on tht diamond, we m.it go to work to keep llieui Ironi outclassing us too tar. The way to n.sike a good team is not in s'm around the stores all uhe alternoons and talk tall, but "o out to the He'd and play ball. Most every player on our team can come out nearly every afternoon late, wuen they will have nothing else to do. Another way to make a good team is for the town people to encourage their piayers by their presence, kind words, and something else occasion allv. A ca, tain can not make a team ilone, but it is i.ccessary for ii'm to have the support of every member ol the team, and wiih this I believe we will have the strongest team we have ever had, and it, will be a success financially and every other way. Let us all work systematically to gether a, id be the winners in the end. W. D. Merritt. C'apt. March 6, 18U5. I'Erianl-Huinphries f."3rricgc.

Gar rett's handsome new residence about three quarters of a mile South of Koxboro was burned down. The fire was discovered about 1 o'clock, but was too far g)ue to save the building, which had evidently bee i burning for an hour or more. It originated somewhere in the ell, which, like the main part of the building, was two stories. Iu the upper story of this ell a negro boy, John Lunsford, about 18 years old, was sleeping. When discovered, as above stated, the fire had made con siderable headway and shut off all means of escape from this part of the house except to go through the flames, which he did, co ning out badly burned. He lingered until about 12 o'clock, suffering intensely, when he died. Mr- Garrett had a policy for $1000 in the Home, of Tey York, with Featherston & Long, which he was fortunate iu taking about a month ago. His loss is something over $2,000, less his insurance, which is quite a serious loss. From Winstead. Editoe'J Courier : I sometimes see in the Courier local news from Bethel Hill.
