Cove players showed up strong, and. though the local took frequent turns at lining out safeties, all fear of defeat vanished from the visiting adepts after the second Inning."

Ln Grande has the distinction of be ing the only place of any note where cherries can bo picked froiv- the llmhi at the depot. This Is being brought about by reason of the fact that Mr. Lavey walked up and down the plat form, carrying a huge limb of a cher ry treo, which Ik Indcn with clusters of luscious cherries grown In this conn ty. Tho way the hungry and weary traveler reaches out after a handful of the delicious fruit. Is pleasing to the public-spirited eye.' "Pat" has certainly hit upon a novsl and effective scheme of advertising. as It leaves no possible doubt In the mind of the tourist, as to where tho cherries came from. All westbound trains will be treated In this way as long as the cherry season lasts. All growers are asked to contribute branches. They will be appreciated. creature who Jias an "odd pair of limbs" will exclto your sympathy. There are two songs by Mr. Davis.
