Satisfactory Contest For our own part the contest is aq entirely satisfactory one.

Powell took the first one Stuart offered and put it over the right field fence for three bags, scoring Mpslcy, Smith and Spciicc. It was all over for Quincy then, as Mosley wris going goo^l and every body hndjtheir eye on*’em. Quincy got one, in the seventh and Jairotone each inltho seventh and eighth. .

Beale, County Inspector, when they have cattle to become sick or die and assistance will be. rendered where possible and post mortem examina tions will be made upon dead car casses to determine cause of death. Prompt co-operation along thb line may result in the prevention of the spread of some infections or contagious diseases. W. II. Clark, W. D. Clifford, James Brown, ,1.1. Vunlaiylingham, J./C.
