Dr. Baker was a member of the Lutheran church while he lived in Germany and though since coming to this section he had not affiliated with any church, those who knew him beet believe ' he was prepared for the journey to "the undiscovered country, t from whose bourn no traveller i returns." His funeral was conducted Wednesday afternoon by Rev. N. E. Coltraue, pastor of the Methodist church and his remains laid to rest in the Smithtield cemetery. Peace to his ashes. Any young lady of limited means desiring college prepara tion for Christian work or teach ing may send written inquiry to this office. Base Ball Last Friday. The game of ball here Friday between the Dunn team and the home boys drew quite a crowd to the ball ground. It seemed for a long time that Dunn had but one run coming to her but finally in the seventh inning, af ter two or three costly errors, the score board showed that three had been added to her credit. Smithtield's part in run making showed eight?four to the good. Pope for Dunn pitch ed a good steady game and made the prettiest hit of the game. The Smithfield battery did excel lent work and Abell took every thing that came his way. My Hair is Extra L ong Feed your hair; nourish it; give It something to live on.
