A deal was not made, however, but Mr. Kins man seems to have a hankering to get back into business at Heppner again, and we cannot say that we blame him a bit, (or having once lived here most people desire to get back again. A little game of base ball was play ed at Lexington on Friday last by the tennis of the grammar departments. The Heppner lads returned home ad mitting defeat but not saying a word about the score; in fact, so far as the Heppner team is concerned there was no score while the Lexington boys pil ed up some 26 runs. There should bo some good team work and practice on the part of the Heppner team if they expect to go out nnd get anything and we hope to see this accomplished.
