It seems there were some fine looking girls at the game and their pretty faces seemed an inspira- tionto the Corbett boys or else they bewildered the other team. At any rate the Corbett boys have all had smiling faces since and feel competent to play almost any team in the county. L. Mershon and wife were the guests of A. Mershon last Sunday. L.
