Cuine Out Hiid See Them j Win Avail) Toilny. Last Monday the Newberry teHtn caine in J at 10.20 over the Southern, and to be In Ibje ! swim you had to talk base ball. Tbe New: l berry team fbcomposedof fastball players and J a clever or belter set of men atnout; players . would be a rarity. They understand and play : the game. ? % 5 Manager Cobb and Byers of the home team , deserve much praise, for they were dlsap- 5 pointed in getting all of tbeir playere here on J time, but will not baveany more trouble from jj now on. as all of players" signed will likely be here by Thursday. THE FIRST GAME?MONDAY. j , The game Monday evening was called at v 4 S(1 o'clock and h. lurue crowd gathered to see r the home team do up the visitors. Weddingtou, the North Carolina pitcher, who lias such a big reputation, pitched for Newberry. Our boys got on to him In the flrBt Inning and beiore ttie game waH over he had been batted all . over the Held. Stewart ?h in the box for the home team and held Newberry down to a few scattering bite. Of the two pitchers Stewart , pitched a much better game than Wedding- V ton. The score was (f to H in favor of Abbe- ' ville. Umplre--J. L. McMillan. TUESDAY'S GAME. . ( The game yesterday was tbe best and most exciting game ever played on the Abbeville f ground. Both clubs played great ball and trom start to finish it was hard to pick the winner. Tbe only cbRDge In the Newberry . team was the pitcher, C'asa being In tbe box. ( He pitched a nice game, but when bits meant runs, he could not keep the heavy Abbeville , hitters Irom rapping him for singles and occasionally a two or three bagger. Oordon , White was in tbe box for Abbeville. He struck out only two men, but kept bis hits [ scattered and the ball was seldom knocked ( out of the diamond. Gordon pitched the ( the greatest game of his life, and deserved lots of praise, as this was the first game be has , played thlR season. The score whs 3 to 0 in ( Cavor of Abbeville. Umpire?Chas. Bagley, | of Greenwood. The last game of tbe series will be played and a big crowd should be on baud to see Abbeville win, for our boys won't be satislled unless he wins the three games. Tbe game this | evening will be tbe last game of tbe three and you should see it. . Unclaimed Letter*. letters lu post ottice for week ending May , 29i.li : H? Manuel Bradley, A.

The reunion will be held at the house of Mr. Lewis Clink- ' scales, a prominent member of the lamlly, i who lives about six miles lroin l.owndesvllle. j It is entirely right and proper for such a gathering to be hold, when the pranks of ' childhood siial I l>e told once more, when the ] experiences amid the sterner realities of life , shall once more he compared, when the faces - * and form8 of the loved ones who are dead shall once more be recalled, and when the thoughts of all who are now living shall be turned toward that place where there shall be one grand re-union and no more parting, 110 more teawtand no more death.

Hot Water Itemed leu. Hot water is so simple a remedy,and 3 easily obtained that its value is not alf appreciated. It is one of the best sstorers of nervous euergy, it rests be weary, and it relieves pain, not nly as an outward application ; but as remedy to be taken internally. A sudden and wearing attack of oughing often needs immediate attenion, especially in consumptives, and bose ohronically ill. In an emergeny, that ever useful remedy wM often rove effective. It is much bet er han the ordinary cough mixtures, rblch disorder the digestion and Bpoil be appetite. Water, almost boiling, knulA haainnaii a'hon the> nnrriYVaillsi UVUIU W DiJ^I'VU " "VM VUV omes od. A cough, resulting from irritation, is elieved by hot water through the pro action of secretion, which rqoi9tens he irritated surface. For the iryiug ough, hot water is also excellent, as it roinotes expectoration and brings elief. When one has a sudden attack of ingestion it is a goodplau to take a cup f hot water as nearly boiling as can be lorne. Personssufi'ering from dyspepia will find a relief by drinking a cup if hot water on rising in the morning. When one come9 home at night after , fatiguing day, nothing is more restul than bathing the head and back of he neck with a towel wrung out of vater as hot as can be borne. It oothes the nerves and rests body and irain. The same treatment relieves a tervous headache as nothingelse does. Yheu one is overheat^dand there is a ush of blood to the hew},, a hot towel ipplied to the face ana head is a great elief. In the heat df vBUimmer this ame hot towel refreshes and cools the kiu, and Kivesdt a feeling of lightness tud comfort sijiat cold w*ter never ;ives. ' ? ? ? Olrls SbonldLenrn to Cook. Good house-keeping hais far more to lo with domestic happiness than ,'oung loyeri'drfcam of. I beHeve that hese times need women whose most beautiful work will be done inside heir own doow. Without good housekeeping the romance will soon go out >f marriage. Of course the man who jrizes woman chiefly because she 'looketh well lo ways of her household," does not deserve to have a good wife. He should merely employ a louse-keeper and pay her good wages. But there are social, moral, and spirit* jal uses proceeding from the wise reguation of the household whioh bestow a [jignity on what would otherwise be trifliDg. No matter what a ftirl's ac3ompllshment$ may be, her education is incomplete if she has no knowledge if bakeology, boilology, roastology, jtitcboiogy, anu meuuoiogy. iiiveu 11 the girl should never be required to Jo the work herself, she ought to know whether it is done in a proper manner. , wSp^v *' # % Price Piles of Goods to be ing Them A & RE< n- ? > 1 oo come ax once ana to 1 10 pieces Colored Lawn, worth 10 pieces Colored Lawn, wort! sale only 3 l-2c. 10 pieces Calico, worth 5 and 6i 200 yards Cottonade, worth 15 a We haven't space to m the Goods right.
