Sui A Glorious Fourth In making an attempt at the "write nj)" of Monterey's lirst 1th, we keenly feel our inability, and shall ba satisfied if we, but in a moderately clever manner hit the high places. For tho first time in her life. 1 with the exception of a few citizens who just could not stop work, Monterey put on her holiday clothes and proceeded to celebrate the 4th day of this July, 1904. The events came thick and fast and kept the mind of the on-looker in a whirl, especially when he came in the vicinity of the merry-go round. A foretaste, we imagine, of a fri|) down the World's Fair pike, First came the single trap shoot with the following participants: From McDowell side-Dr W R [Sirou, Loni" Ervine, Sidney Er? vine, lhim Niel; Monterey?E ll Mri'lint ie, Dr C B Fox, Dick Jones, Bunker Jones, Kenton Shumate. H ti Wood, Ed Arbogast, Cam Arbo? gast and Dave Varner. In this eyent the lirst pri/.e ?u handsome gold medal?was won by E ll McClintic, who broke 23 out of a possible 25. The second prize?a box of shells ? was won by Dick Jones who broke 19 pigeons out of 25. Tiie second eyent was with the double traps, the following persons eutering: E ll McClintic, E B Jones, Dr C B Fox, Ed Arbogast. II B Wood, Dr W R Siron ami Dick- Jones. McClintic, the holder and defen? der of the loving cup, the first pri/.e, held and defended it against. all comers, by breaking 12 out of 20. Dr C B Fox came in a good second for the boi of shells by braking ll out of 20. Mr McClintic came out of the tw<> events covered with glory, as 1 rize winner in both, and one would scarcely have thought there was glory enough iu one 4th, to accomplish so much. lu the afternoon the base ball came on. On the 11th day of June 1840, the first match game of base ball that was ever played in the world, j was played. On the 4th day of July 1004 the first match game of base ball that was ever played at Monterey was played. Kow, if you are good in figures you can soon see how many years behind the times t-he King of the moun? tains is. This first game, was a good, warm one, a tight among home folks, and such are generally warm. But nature took a hand and when the steam got too high, 'long would come a gentle shower to even up the temperature, and by that means a nice, eyen, enjoyable excitable game was giyeu. The two nines, the Reds and the Blues"; that came hp against each other on the diamond were com? posed of home boys with just enough of an inter-mixture of fresh and stale college boys to keep the game moving*with vim, vigor and force, and in the audience the col? lege girl was not lacking to dis? pense, in a charming manner, the language of the diamond to per? fection, all of which gaye the event a decidedly city air. The Reds, the victorious team were composed of the following: DrC B Fox, E B Jones, Ed Bev? erage. Miller Bishop, Dick Jones, and Kemper Gibson, Monterey; Forest, Hull, University of Va.; Hal Jones, W & Lee; Mr Carring? ton. Richmond. The opposing force? the Blues ?were: Homer Stephenson, Paul ', Slaven, Dave Varner (Louie Cari jchoff substituting after Gth inning) I Jacob Lunsford.

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis aourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear v/hen the kid? neys are out of order or diseased.
