One of the most interesting games of baseball played on the local dia mond this season took place Tuesday afternoon at. Limestone, between the Down Town and the Graded School teams. The Graded School hoys had been strengthened by Hamrick, who did the backstop act. He showed great improvement over his playing of last year and there can be no ques tion but that he has the making of an excellent hall player. Vic Lipscomb was also an addition to the Graded School team, and held first base like a veteran. O. P. Richardson played first for the Down Town team, and did it in good style. For ten innings the boys battled for supremacy, but the game had to be called on account of darkness, the score standing 7 to 7. A feature of the game was the call ing of the game about the fourth in ning to allow two of the gallants of the Down Town team to go over and talk to their girls. There was no ob jection on the part of the other play ers to this concession of the umpire. The following was the line-up: Graded School:—Lipscomb, V., lb; Robbins, 21>; Spake, ss; Bell. 3b; Hamrick, c; Lipscomb, W„ rf; Little, E., cf; Robbs, If; Byars, p; Campbell, substitute. Down Town:—Richardson, lb; Snead, 2b: Ramsey, ss: Little, D.. 3b; Clary, B., c; Swafford, rf: Walker, cf; Clary. Doc. If: Wood, p: Clary, D„ substitute. One of the prettiest plays made on any diamond was a phenominal catch of a line ball by Will Lipscomb in the ninth inning when Snead hit the hall for what looked like btsmue'to- 2.H. for what looked like must lie a two- bagger. Snead pitched two innings of the game and was faced by seven men, five of whom sawed the air. Altogether it was a very interesting and pretty game of ball. A Good Sized Cabbage. The Ledger is indebted to its good friend. Mr. J. T. Humphries, for a well developed specimen of cabbage which was raised in his garden. It weighed nine pounds. Mr. Humphries (or rather we suspect Mrs. Humph ries) is one of the best gardeners in this section. They have been eating all kinds of home raised vegetables in the Humphries home this season as early as the green grocers could receive the shipped articles.

Dear Sir: Mr. H H Stephenson, Cashier of Oil City (Pa) Savings Bank writes: "Nine years ago I painted my house with your paint. It wore so well, I want to use it again.’’ That’s nothing wonderful except for the fact that the soft, coal region of Pennsylvania is pretty hard on paint with its oil, smoke and grime. All we see in it is that Devoe is good for nine years sometimes. There are thousands of people that know it. and millions that don’t. There’s the rub! We advertise for the millions; we want to make paint for the millions. Mr Cashier, do you know that Do- voe lead-and-zinc is twice as cheap as lead-and-oil, or mixed paints? Is ion per cent a fair profit in your busi ness? Three-quarters of the people paint lead-and-oil mixed by hand; while the I\ S. Government use lead, zinc and oil ground together by machinery— same as Devoe lead-and-zinc. The thing. Yours truly 98 F W Devoe & Co P. S. Our paint is sold by R. M.
