Day, Vern Goss and Ernest Galloway were among those from Dwight who attended the Fair and auto races at Council Grove Thursday, Merchants Walloped Latimer The Dwight Merchants won the game with Latimer here Sunday by a score of 7 to 3, piling up a lead of five runs in the first inning which the visitors could not overcome. Glock, the first man up for Dwight, started things right with a pretty threebagger.

Anderson followed with a single, H. Swartz reached first on an error and Neff got on on another error, filling the bases. These three and Brown scored on hits by Brown and Wilkison. H. Swartz added another score in the sixth when he walked and got around on clouts by Neff and Brown.

Glock got the last run in the seventh on a neat hit and Anderson's single. Latimer threatened to score in the second and again in the third, getting a man as far as third in each inning. Flack made their first run in the sixth when he got a dandy hit and was followed with a pair of singles. They made a good start toward tieing up the game in the seventh but the Merchants cut them off with only two runs. Latimer had "Rusty" Flack to hurl the game and were mighty anxious to win but the Merchants got the lead on them and held it by some nice playing.

Anderson pitched a good game and Wilkison and A. Swartz pulled down some flies in the field that looked like sure hits. Latimer made two double plays and Dwight made one in the seventh. There was a good crowd out in spite of the cool weather and outside of the first frame the game was pretty interesting. E.

T. Beck is spending a few days at McPherson. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Swart and Mrs.

Swartz's mother, Mrs, Holman, of Longmont, came in last week for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Swartz and other relatives.

"Look What He Got" A farm hand wanted to borrow a lantern to go to see his best girl one dark night and the stingy old farmer said: "You don't need a lantern. When I was young I went courting in the dark." The young man retorted: "Yes, and look what you got." Served him right, too. The more light the better with all honorable transactions. That's why we talk to you each week about our reliable Bank. We want you to know the advantages we have to offer and that it will pay you to identify yourself with our Bank.

No chances of dealing in the dark with us. Everything frank, open and above board.
