Kfd Cloud to the Front.
On last Thursday afternoon a match
game of base ball was played in this
citv between the club of Blue HillTand
the Red Cloud nine. At 2:30 P. M. the
game was called with A. L. Funk am
umpire and M. S. Marsh scorer. From
the first inning-to the very last the
game wa. of the nnst interesting na
ture, both clubs playing for all they
were worth. However, the Red Cloud
boys, being better trained than their
Blue Hill friends, had a walk-away,
and scooped their opponents badly.
There are few better pitchers than
Charlev Piatt, and when one of his
curve La lis went flying over the home
base it was not an easy matter to
strike it, and consequently the Blue
Hill club became somewhat rattled
and discouraged, and of course did not
have the vigor that they would have
had, had the' had an easier hall to
stike. Then again, the Red Cloud
boys arc hard hitters, and when they
strike a ball it is a ten days wonder
where it is going to before it halts, and
therefore it was and easy matter for
them to make tallies without much
trouble. The Red Cloud team is hard
to b-at, v nl we believe with a little
more pi.u ti'-e wou'd make a profes
sional nine grit their teeth to beat
them. The Blue Hill team, though
vanquished, have among them some
excellent players and lipid our boys
down on the few first innings, and we
think they will make a fair club with
a little more practice. They are a jolly
set of fellows and will at no late date
play our boys again, when they pro
pose to hold them level. After the
game was over and the large crowd
present had dispersed, the Red Cloud
team set up the icy cieam to the Blue
Hi'l team, and at train time had the
Red Cloud Cornet Band escort them
to the depot. The following is the

Among the pleasant prosperous farm

travels, and hare not had apnee to
give you my observations eoncerninir.
I fn-st have in view Mr. John May
near La Portville. He iinpresseil me
as a man of solid business character.
Owns a half section of fine land, com
fortable frame house, plenty of stock
and all other necessary adjuncts to
make him a happy farmer. The next
is Mr. DeMars in tho same neighbor
hood. He is a wealthy man, a gooil
farmer and his every word and action
that of a gentleman iu every" sense of
tho term. Aipiin in the same locality
i Mr. John Barney who, if I am any
judsje of stability and worth in men by
their conversation, notions and sur
roundings, has but few if any surperi
ors in those qualities which always
impress me favorably, among all my
acquaintances. Still, Mr. B. is but one
among many a great many who by
caution, industry and perseverance is

any section ot tho west ot tne same
area as this county, nndjbe unable to
find more substantial, enterprising men
among the farmers' population than
are tn-day within the borders of our
county. The exception to thrift and
prosperous anvaneement is so very dif
ficult to find that we can all enjoy a.
just pride In the record the farmers
are making. During the past Week I
paid a visit to the home oi Mr. Edward
Parkes, one half mile west of Red
Clond. He has lived here for about
ten years, and notwithstanding he has
been Tery unfortunate in the matter of
losing a great deal of stock from var
ious causes, during that time, he is ad
rancing and almost entirely out of
debt. A new and comfortable frame
house just finished and tAken posses
sion of is his latest evidence of prosper
ity. All who are acquainted with this
family know them to be excellent peo
ple. Mrs. P. is one of thine pleasant,
intelligent lailios that a gentleman
feels he is favored in enjoying the ac
quaintance of. An offer to purchase
a part of this farm at the rate of $f4)0
for the quarter section has recenlly
been refused by Mr. Parkes.
