There was a ball game on the Med
ford grounds last Saturday, between a
Mtdford and Big Sticky nine. The
games throughout didn't abound with
as many "whitewashes" and "'goose
eggs" as would characterize a bang up
good game, yet all players and on look
ers had a pretty good time, except In
surance Agent Hunt, who was playing
with the Medford nine and who made a
mistake and caught a ball which was
hotter than he expected and split his
index finger open to the bone. Both
nines have some pretty good players
but as this was the first game of the
season the boys can easily bj excused
for not making a record which will ad
mit cf our publishing the Medford
team, however, won the- game. A re
turn game is expected to be played now
pretty soon.

And the Wedding Bells Ring Again.
On Sunday there was a quiet wedding
ceremony celebrated at tho residence
of the officiating clergyman, Rev. C.
H. Hoxie. The young people whose
hearts now beat with ouo accord and
whose hands and names were upon this
day welded together with tho vow of
matrimony are Mr. Win. D. Roberts
and Miss Eva Bollinger, daughter of M.
Bellinger, of Jackson precinct. Both
these people are well known in this lo
cality, and none know them but to say
kind words. Tho groom is a bright
young man of aclovor business turu and
will doubtless make their home an ideal
ono a haven of trusting confidence and
one in which, though the scorms of life
combine, its walls will withstand all
the combative force. The bride is spo
ken of as a very amiable young lady,
refined and respected by all, and one
well fitted to preside, as queen, over
tho handsome, neatly and thoroughly
furnished little house, on B street, in
which the happy couple will reside,
and which was a present from the
groom's father, Mr. W. B. Robarts.
The Mail editor always feels like
congratulating someone. We don't
know why it is but it's a fact, and
when wo got a wedding notice to chron
icle we naturally feel good about it,
because that congratulations are the
right play to make and in tho right
place to make them, and wo now
wish theso people all the happiness
that can possibly bo wrapped up in that
matrimonial compact, and may nil their
paths be paths of peace and tho up hill
travel through life bo leveled to easy
grade, tbe stepping stones across the
troubled stream be close together aqd
unmoved by tho mnd splash of treacher
ous waters flowing swiftly down the
river of lifo to the ocean of the great
unknown, and now may all the goods
of lifo be theirs and the ills only imag
inary fancies at once dispelled with
the master hand that makes a home j
