who dreaded tho worse. After an

The McKenzie baseball team
and the team here played a series
of games at Maiden Park last week.
The first game resulted in a score
of 18 to 15, and the second 27 to 22
in favor of the home team. The
McKenzie team was strengthened
by good players from Huntingdon,
Taris and Martin, and they played
a good game of ball, but lost out
to Camden. The liome team was
aided by good players from Big
Sandy and Cowell's Chapel. The
McKenzie boys were well pleased
with the courtesies extended them
while here, and say that they were
treated fairly and nicely. Camden
will probably go to McKenzie for
a series of games next week.
J. II. Combs showed ns a bird
Saturday which has excited the
curiosity of those who saw it. It
is thought to be a species of hawk,
and yet its head and talons, while
small, remind us of the eagle family.
It was not as large and its body was
longer than a full grown hawk, and
its wings measured 3 feet and 9
inches from tip to tip. Its head,
breast and lower part of body was
white, while its wings, tail and top
of back was a gloss black, tho wingw
being tipped with white. It was
first seen near the section houses
Saturday morning, and remained
in that locality until it was shot by
somo of the hands that afternoon.
At seemed to have lost its bearings,
and at times would reach & high
altitude and then drop Iott enough,
to be brought down with a gun. It
is a novel specimen of bird and the
first of the kind ever seen here.
