LITTLE ROSE BUD.
NICHOLLS NEWS.
Yea, brother; just seven cars loaded
down with most of the hustling hu
manity from the peceful little hamlet
of Broxton, honk-honked into our
midst last Tuesday to do battlelwith
our bse ball team. It seems that the
two stinging defeats administered
them by Nicholls on recent occasions
aroused their ire to such an extent
that to efface these blots on heir es
cucheon, and to celebrate what they
considered sweet revenge, they came
prepared wih a bevy of the fair sex,
and they in turn let forth such a notely
assortment of yells, that would make
a Comanche best efforts look
cheap. They used them to the best
advantage when the third inning of
the game had gone with the score 4
to 1 in Broxton’s favor, but thereafter
it was noticed that their strenuous
vocabulary had greatly diminished,
when the Nicholls batters began to
hit the ball with the desired results.
Well, brother, the game was a pip
pin and the result, Nicholls, 7, Brox
ton 6. And when the disappointed
rooters of Broxton wended their weary
■EI IB S
interest, and upon very desirable terms. By
reason of the direct connection which I have
loans can be handled without delay. :
