and upon invitation of the owners
of the grounds the teams.nlayed the
third of the series in tins'%.city on
Tuesday afternoon. From their
home towns about two hundred rooters accompanied their players, while
Harrison, Coleman, Bosebush and
other neighboring towns helped to
swell the- crowd of enthusiasts^
Probably not less than six hundred
persons were upon the grounds when
the game was called. The city "band
turned out'to contribute to the joys
of the occasion, and everybody enjoyed themselves.
W. J. Hutchinson, of Grand Bap-
ids, umpired the game, and while
there was the regulation amount of
faultfinding, he escaped without
bodily injury.
The line-up for the game was as
follows.
MT.   PLEASANT.

In the sixth innings Kinch sprained his ankle while running bases
and Becker took his place. The
start of the game was "decidedly in
Marion's favor, but errors of H.
Currie and Woodman at critical
periods permitted Mt. Pleasant to
capture three runs, which made
them safe.
A large amount of money changed
hands upon the game. The score
was six to three in favor of Mt.
Pleasant. The visitors had many
words of praise for the condition of
the grounds.

NEW ADS,
An Osceola countypreacher, who
so. far ha*" survived.the dangers of
boarding honso steak, hopes to soon
take unto himself a wife, and is devoting all of his time not required
by his flock, to a prepossessing
schoolma'am of his parish. A few
Sundays since he accompanied his
beloved upon a ride through the
rural,districts, and in the course of
his discourse in the evening, remarked : "Today when I was driving, I was so impressed- with the
beauty of things and so wrapped up
in studying nature that I was three
hours in driving six. miles." An
impolite maiden in the rear pew
giggled, and one staid old'deacon
was heard to remark at the close of
the service that he'd bet a cookie
that the elder couldn't tell pne thing
in nature he saw upon the Whole
trip,
To the "strange?" in Glare the first
noticeable feature is that of the
beautiful lawns surrounding the
residences of the city. Nowhere in
the state will one find such neat,
even lawns as here abound. The
citizens should be proud of this for
it conveys to the visitor the fact
that even in a small town it is possible to have as beautiful homes as
are found in cities, But even with
all this beautiful scenery the same
strange visitor is somewhat taken
aback when meandering slowly
along the streets he is suddenly
subjected to a heavy sprinkling from
one of the numerous fountains
which adorn every lawn. We trust
our citizens will be more careful in
placing fountains so near the walks
as to deluge every pedestrian passing them.
