pride in cutting the weeds from his
lot if for no other reason than to improve the appearance of his premises.
It is of course a little late to keep
some of the noxious weeds from going
to seed but they can be cut down and
raked into piles 'and burned. 'What
looks worse than a back or front yard
grown up to thistles and dock? Every
one should borrow a scythe and go
over their lots and cut all there is, be
they few or many.
By all odds the finest special newspaper edition that; has come to our
table is the Women's Eourth of July
edition of the Chenango Telegraph of
Norwich, N. Y. Not only in its contents "but in the typographic character
it is a beauty, rivalling the metropolitan magazines. Our interest in this
splendid number is increased by the
fact in bhe office from whence it issued
ye editor was once foreman of the
broom and type-brush department.

heading saw. He bore the accident
and the surgical operation that followed like a young hero. The misfortune is especially distressing because
Arthur is only a boy yet, but from especial aptness had come to do more
than a man's work. Mr. Mortz had

A sad and fatal accident occurred
south of Earwell Saturday. Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey Nowland, were driving
from Gilmore to Earwell in the forenoon. While coming down the hill
at Glass settlement the wagon pole
slipped from the neck-yoke ring and
by the jolt that followed Mrs. Now-
iand was thrown out to the ground.

Mr. Nowland succeeded in stopping
them, when he went back after Mrs.
Nowland. He found her lying dead by
the roadside where she fell. Her
forehead, and temple had apparently
come in contact with a root or stone
and death was  instantaneous.   The

The ball game (called so by courtesy |
between the home team and Monroe,
Wednesday* • was faT from exciting^
It was generally expected that Monroe would win, the game, font it was
hardly looked for that the home men
would personate "wooden iniuHS5
quite so accurately. Except for the
battery work of Kineh and Louch and
here and there a bright play the home
playing, was dismal and gave the grand
stand a chill that cooled the forest
fires. Louch's work behind the bat-
was perfect and had thesuppprt been
anything like it the spectators would
not have felt so badly sold. The
management may look for empty seats
hereafter unless the' boys do a little
practice with a competent' coacher.
Ten of the home team were caught
out on flies,, good hard hits that, had
they been down on the ground where
they should have been, would have
earned half a dozen runs. Some of
the boys had not seen enough practice
but that they dodged and winced
whenever a hot ball came their way.
It isn't as if they couldn't do better.
As we have remarked before, there
isn't better material in the state for
an all-home 'club. Two or three
snappy plays yesterday proved it.
That was a beautiful triple. play in
the fourth on a caught fly, a return to .
second and a touch but at the home
plate. And nothing could have been
neater than the double up in the ninth
from Harris to Sexsmibh to Pratt. But
! a few brilliant plays could not cover-
up the string of blunders. uWe don't.
need practice/' has been the motto
too long. Perhaps this is-a roast, -but .
It only expresses the sentiment
heard on every side. \. When the.
boys get down to playing, ball they.
will be loyally supported. Play ball
boys, play ball!.
