The city league will begin the sea
son on Tuesday, May 24, the opening
game to be between the Columbus
and Greenville Shop team and the
Chero Colas.
A schedule calling for sixty games
has just been announced, each team
being scheduled, to play twenty games
each. ,
There are only three teams in the
league this season, it having h.'cn
necessary to cut the team.1) down on
account of the scarcity of players, and
too, with the view of mainlaining the
hir;he?t standard of playing.
Prtsidmt Kuykendall is very op
timiflic over the prospect for t'.ic
season and believes that with the
three teams the fans will be well
pleased and that the best class of
ball ever seen in the city league will
be maintained.
Under the three-team plan each
team will play three games every two
weeks. This will have the tendency of
keeping the players in trim, amd will
shift the playing so that all teanu
will play on both of the playing days.
The new schedule Ss published in
this issue of the Dipsatch. Clip it out
and keep it for reference.

GUESSING IN
LEASE SALES
Guesses of the number of lease
units sold for the Booster Syndicate
have been pouring into the Dispatch
jffice for several days.
The Anderson Drilling Company
proposes to give away six units on
Tuesday morning to the three persons
making the nearest guess of the num
ber of units sold. .'..-
The person making' the closest
guess- to, 'the number of units sold
will icetve three units valued at $10
each, second best guess 2 units and
the third best guess 1 unit.
Here are some facts aid suggest

That the Columbus Dispatch
covers every nook and corner of
our grand old Magnolia State
was fully shown by the number
of cars wen passing through
Caledonia on last Friday and Sat
urday from a distance coin,; to
Columbus on the two big. trade
days put on by the enterprising
business men of that city. We
are proud to Kay that "Our" city
is fast becoming one large trad
ing center for fifty miles around.
We were informed a few days ago
', by" two popular citizens of Mon
roe county and one of them lived
in Aberdeen, that goods of all
kinds are cheaper in Columbus
than in Aderdeen. They stated
that oats were $3.25 in Aberdeen
and $2.90 in Columbus on the
same day . They also stated that
our business men were simply the
finest bunch of jolly good fel
lows that they ever met and that
alone goes a long way in helping
to build us a great city and a
united community. The mer
chants and business men of Co
lumbus are beginning to realize
and appreciate more and more
the advertising value of the Dis
patch as it covers the entire coun
try. Its readers are found in the
four corners of the earth and
goods bought in our beautiful
city can be found in homes over
a hundred miles away. Be a
