The regular annual school meeting will

ladies at last year's meeting and hopo a still
larger number may bo present this year, as
they thus not only exercise a legal right, but
also exert a good influence.
If the editor of tho Courur had taken the
trouble to look up tho local option law last
week before making the call for the mass
convention at Lawrence, ho would not have
led his readers into tho error of thinking that
the loard of supervisors was the proper
channel through which to secure a call for
the special election. The supervisors have
no more to do with it than the Court r man
himself, the comity clerk being the only per
son authorized to make such call.
Farewell Surprise.
One of the most enjoyable social events of
tho past week took placo on Wednesday
evening, August -1th, at the residence of the
pastor of the Christian church, in the form
of a surprise party for Mr. ltussell and his
estimablo wife. Mr. llussell being about to
bid farewell to Paw l'aw, much to the regret
of his congregation and friends, it was
deemed appropriate to plan a gathering of
this kind, which was done so quietly that
tho recipients were taken by storm. At six
o'clock ). in., t!wj invited guests assembled at
tho residence of A. Vati Auken, and shortly
after, laden with well filled baskets, wended
their way to their destination, where they
completely filled tho house, to the surprise
and temporary dismay of the occupants. All
were in the best of spirits and a very pleas
ant evening was passed. Tho rtpas.t served
was a most bounteous and delicious one, and
was in no wise slighted by the company.
During tho evening, Bev. Mr. Haydon, in
behalf of those present, presented Mr. Bus
sell with a purse of money and made some
beautiful remarks in connection with this, to
which Mr. Busscll responded with much
emotion. Though tho occasion was a thor
oughly pleasant one. yet it was not unmingled
with a vein of sadness, for all aro sorry to
lose Ilr. and Mrs. Busscll from our midst,
where they havo done a good work and mado
J;osts of varm Iricnds. The best wishes of
every one will follow them to their new home.

An agricultural fair is an American insti
tution that merits tho hearty support not
only of tho farmers, but of tho citizens at
largo, as anything which aids agricultural
progress, aids all.
Tho management are anxious that every
business placo in town should secure space,
and that each should make a display. No
business is too small to securo recognition,
and none but will be benefited by a represen
tation. By reading tho epistle which" emanated
from tho pen of the president of our Union
i'air and appeared in last week's issue, ono
would readily supposo that he had fair dam
sels, fair walks, fair talks and it "Fair" time
generally, whilo counting tho smd3 on tho
sea-shore.
Let floral hall be the pride of every man,
woman and child who attends the Paw l'aw
Union Fair and, to make it surely so, bring
out every novelty, every picco of fancy work,
all fine nee dlo work, your pictures, statuary
or relics in fact, anything that is of interest
to you, as it will interest others. Don't for
get to bring tho babies black or white, it's
just tho same.
Tho picnio dinner spoken of List week,
seems to striko tho maids and matrons in

Now, somo one go ahead and work it up. Our
farmers' clubs have all the elements of suc
cess for this enterprise among their numler,
and they can bring in any amount of willing
workers to help us, if they will tako up tho
sport at once.
We hopo every young man, whatever his
calling, will tako an extra interest in tho fair
this fall and not Ik? content to let his father,
or tho meml)crs of tho old society, drag him
forward any longer. Tho advantages tho
young man of tolay has, aro far superior to
any his father eDjoyed, and yet we, as a
yonng generation, do not accomplish what
we might and ought to do.

Itioomlncdalc vm. law Paw.
As announced in our last issue, a gamo of
ball took placo on the fair grounds between
the Bloomingdales and Paw Paws, which
resulted in a victory for Paw Paw by a score
of nineteen to seventeen. The game was
called promptly at threo o'clock by Umpire
Fretz, the visitors being sent to bat and re
tired without a run. In their half of the
inning, tho Paw Paws placed ono score to
their credit.
Tho second inning resulted in four scores
for both the visitors and the home team, one
of the Paw Paw runs being the magnificent
drive of Lee for four bases, on which he eas
ily reached tho home plate amid loud ap
plause. In tho third, the visiters brought in six fat
runs after two men were out, while the home
team had to bo satisfied with one.
In the fourth and fifth inning3, tho visitors
added four runs more to their credit, whilo
the l'aw Paws were blanked in the fourth,
but in the fifth five men trotted over the
homo plate, leaving the score fourteen to
eleven in favor of the visitors.
In the sixth, the Bloomingdales added one
more run to their already long string, while
our Injys took two.
Tho seventh and eighth wero goose eggs
for tho visitors. The Paw Paws brought in
! six in tho seventh, but were blanked in the
eighth, at which point the score stood nine
teen to fifteen in favor of tho home team.
In the ninth, the visitors placed two more
runs to their credit, while tho heme team
left their half unplayed.
Tho game was one of a good deal of
amusement for the players as well us the
spectators. While tho umpire undoubtedly
intended to be all right in his decisions, he
was very larao and was governed almost ex
clusively by tho judgment ended for by the
players. Had theie been an umpiro who
understood the game, the scoro would
havo stood eleven to eight in favor of the
homo team.
The features of the gamo wero tho remark
ably fine running catch of Spayde and the
bamboozling work of Warner and J. Clancy
from homo to second and back again, which
worked twice in good shape.
The following is the score by innings.

Foul Tips.
There is no doubt that, as " Fatty" said,
tho one-eyed man seen by the Bloomingdales
hoodooeel that club on last Thursday, but
the " red-headed" girl failed to remove the
"magic spell'' as that gentleman predicted.
" We haven't much of a picnic either,"
said tho "Baby," when the score stood four
teen to six in favor of Bloomingdale, in the
middle of tho fifth. Ho probably concluded
that they had not much of a picnic Itefore
they got through.
We. expect to hear that Frank Tucker has
gone into a line of business other than ap
pearing before the footlights that of base
ball umpiring. Ho was over here receiving
and giving pointers to the Bloomingdale
umpire last Friday.
Jim Chandler's month was elongated to a
considerable extent for three hours last Fri
day. Cause listening to, arguing with and
watching the pretze l umpire in the Bloom
ingdale gamo of last week.
When Lee would deliver ono of hi ont
shoots in last Friday's game, while tho ball
was about halfway to homo plate and headetl
for the umpire, that unique-gentlemen would
start for tho packet fence and sing out "ball,'
and when it had taken its English and passed
over tho plate, Clancy would call, " judgment
on that." and after the umpiro had regained
his equilibrium, ho sang out " strike!"
Since their reorganization, tho Lawton
and Paw Paw clubs have each played seven
games, of which l'aw Paw has won four
one each from Lawton, Gobies, Otsego and
Bloomingdale ; Lawton has won two loth
from Paw l'aw. And yet there aro a good
many people in this placo who swear by
Lawton and say that our boys can't play ball
a little bit.
" We can down those Paw Pawo," said one
of the Bloomingelalo ball tossers to John
Wood, after tho game last Friday. " They
wero just fooling with you fellers, replied
John. " Well, I'll let we can beat them for
money," says Bloomingdale. "I'll just go
you a ' tencr' for luck," said John. " No, I'll
let you fifty dollars,' and John swooned;
but after ho had got his breath, John pulled
out a silver ilollar and said, " I will let joa
that that you liaun't got fifty cents." That
was rather a rash proposition, but John knew
his man. The boys say he had forty-nine
cents and a beer check.
