SILVER MINE.
A very exciting game of ball was play-
ed in Rufus Buttery's lot, last Saturday.
betWeen the teams made up of married
men against thexsiugle men. in which the
single men were victorious by a score of
nine to tWelve. Each have now won» two
games and great interest is manifested in
the deciding garlic, which they intend to
play Saturday. The winning team was
presented with silk flags and a league
ball. nicely decorated with the National
color. The presentation was by the
young ladies boarding at the Silver Mine
House, At the close of the game both
teams were entertained at the home of
Frank Buttery.
The morning of Labor Day was cold
brnted by a game of ball between the sin-
gle men and a picked nine: The single
men were defeated by a score of twenty-
slx to ten. Although there were several
brilliant plays. yet Monday morning
seemed to be the wrong time for the sin-
gle men toplay, as t eir eyes were not
open enough to see the ball at the right
time. One of the most interesting events
waaafoot race through the lots by a
young lady in pursuit of a young man
who had stolen a bouquet intended for
the single men. it ended by the young
man returning the flowers, which were
given both conquered and conquerors at
the end of the game.

the moon. For one hour and forty-one
minutes the light of the moon was extin-
guished, and the sky and the land were
cast into gloom. it was a glorious display
of the wondrous mechanism of the solar
system. According to the calculations
the moon entered the earth's penumbra at
at 9:48 o‘clock, but to the naked eye this
commencement of the eclipse was invisi-
ble. it was not until ll o‘clock when the
moon entered the path of the earth's
shadow, that the eclipse became apparent.
Six minutes after midnight the. total
eclipse began. it ended at 1:47 this morn_
ing. The earth's shadow was left at 2:5;
and the penumbra at izlllinnn. The sky
was perfect. for observation. Not a speck
ofa cloud was there and the stars shown
with particular brightness, making the
sight one not soon to be forgotten.
THE POWER OF THE DIME.
With one Dime a [lay an Entire Library
May be Secured.
Asa matter of fact, the silver dimo- is
the great American coin. it is thorougiy
democratic in its character pressing all
palms in its circulating travels, visiting
the palace and the hut, the saint and the
sinner, the rich and poor, the young and
old.
It has a thousand times the carrying
power of its big brother, the silver dollar,
and goes on its way serenely indifferent to
politics and congress. for itia too small
to set the oratorial mill grinding. The
catalogue of results obtained by the dime
as an active factor is n. long one and con
tains an astound“ variety. lint.the
most amazing thing which can be accom-
plished by the nimble. agile ten-cent
piece is the purchasing of an entire
library.
'i'en cents a day will do it. The price of
a good smoke or a couple of packages of
chewing gum or an ice cream soda each
twmty‘four hours will give our readers
the entire set of twenty-five volumes of
the Encyclopedia Britannica. It seems
too absurd to be true, but we have. made
just that proposition to any and all of our
friends. We offer to furnish the Britan~
nice that splendid reference library. never
equaled by any other work since the first
edition appeared over a century ago, for
Ill cents a day.
It is an opportunity not to be sneezed
at. it is a chance that will only last for
a short time. it is a proposition which is
guaged to the capacity of the elenderest
purse. There is no necessity for dilating
on the Encyclopepis Britannica. livery-
body knows that it is the best work of
thousands of scholars, learned men and
writers. it treats of any subject under the
sun in a comprehensive, exhaustive way,
and it Is no reliable that it has been ac-
cepted as expert testimony in the courts.
