Benson, June 16:?The Isesmith ball tossers, with an enthusiastic following of fair fans, formed a procession that reached Benson before -the scheduled hour for playing. The intervening time was very pleasantly whiled away in the shady grove in M?Mm Vmma Mf?C!nt/?hpn's, 1.runl U1 1Uk o UUIUIM wv. ? hcme.where the local team and their lady friends had previously arranged to entertain the visitors until the hour for the game in the afternoon. After the custom*, y spread of gastronomic ediblet, attended by the social comminglirg of the visitors and the home folk in the enjoyment of the "good digestion that waits on appetite," the sons of sport repaired to the ball ground, and at 3:30 Umpire Charlie Boy kin of Lanes called: "Play ball!" Soon the sphere was twirled into the air with such velocity that it almost took the breath from the spectators. "A good beginning never ends well," was aptly illustrated on this occasion. That is to say, home runs were too frequent, beautiful opportunities for ringing cheers from the eager crowd were disappointments when tempting "flies" were muffed. The game was closed before the last inning on account of the threatening clouds. It was not many minutes afterwards before the refreshing rain poared in torrents. (How was the score??Printer's Devil). Our vicinity is being visited with delightful showers, putting new life into tobacco and corn. Of course, cotton, as all farmers know, is a dry weather plant and up to the present we could not ask for a brighter prospect for a bountiful harvest. It Is a most favorable time for planting pea-vine hay. Seed peas are selling at the rate of two dollars and a half a bushel. This price is expensive to the buyer, yet all of our lands, with but few exceptions, produce peas abundantly, and it is not economy to buy when this crop can be raised so easily. WES.

If you have formed the habit of eating too rapidly you are most likely suffering from indigestion or constipation, which will result eventually in serious illness unless corrected. Digestion begins in the mouth. Food 3hould be thoroughly masticated and insalivated. Then when you have a fullness of the stomach or feel dull and stupid after eating, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets. Many severe cases of stomach trouble and constipation have been cured by the use of these tablets. They ire easy to take and most agreeable in effect. Sold by all dealers.
