RAYMOND.
Much interest is being amused in the

count of the prospect of having as an
added feature a bull game, to he staged
by the older men of the community.
The two teams that will compete are
earnest in their contention that their
opponents will not have a chance when
it comes to a test in the great national
sport, and a big time is expected when
these battle-scarred veterans line up
aguinst each other. We all hear of the
troubles of the umpire in the ranks of
the professionals, but their troubles
will he nothing to compare with those
of the hapless wretch who is chosen to
he the final arbiter when these two
teams clash on the field of battle. The
young men’s game will he staged be
tween teams from Raymond and Sharps-
tiurg, pitted against the well-trained
organization from Palmetto. These
two aggregations will stage two bat
tles, and both are confident of ultimate
victory. A hot contest is assured, but
even this battle will be ns nothing
compared to that of the old and tried
veterans.
