For many years he was chairman of the street committee besides serv¬ ing on other committees. He was loyal to his friends in politics as well as business, lhe last time he went out of his house was on June 4th when in his feeble condition he got from his bed and was driven to the polls where he cast his ballot for his old friend, Jim Griggs. One of the many letters of sym¬ pathy received by the family is from Mr. Griggs who was una¬ voidably prevented from attend¬ ing the funeral in person.

Phone - The Game at Camilla Almost half a hundred loyal root¬ ers went to Camilla Wednesday af¬ ternoon to staud by the Pelham boys in their game of ball against our sis¬ ter city. u How it happened” is more than we can tell but the score card at the end of the eleventh inning showed 3 to 2 in favor of Camilla. Somehow the card got turned over and the record showed the wrong way. It was a beautiful and a strong game and well worth the trip to see it. The tie lasted to the last half of the eleventh inning when sombody worked a rabit foot on the home team and one run was made. Bob Fleming makes an ideal um¬ pire who keeps the game free from unpleasant wrangling and leaves both sides fighting it out on skill. Sprinkler in the box for Camilla was especially strong and saved the game for them. Oglesby pitched an excellent game for the Pelham boys and either shut his men out or them from making an hit. •well, it jjist wept the than any man can do. $1.00 PER YEAR.
