'JL A JULIO at Slack's. The much talked-of game of base ball, between the Bennington Blues and the Kansas Jayhawkers, came off last Friday. Both clubs did fine playing, and at the end of the ninth inning the score stood 11 to 11, and the Jayhawkers withdrew, not being satisfied with the umpire. This, of course, decided the game in favor of the Blues, with a score of 9 to 0. Our boys plaved too hard for the Jayhawkers to risk the tenth inning, The score stood as follows blues.

To tell whether a town alive or dead, The first thing to do after you step off the train, is to hunt up the town newspaper office, and inyest a nickel for a number of that journal. Then seek some shady, quiet and secluded spot, where you can read without fear of interruption. If you find no home advertisements in the paper, you may know that the town is dead without going to further trouble; but if you can only find four columns of reading matter in a forty-eight column paper, you may know that the town is alive and too proud to keep the fact to herself. Such a town is where the far-seeing business man will locate everv time. A large line of Trunks, and prices to suit the times, at O.

Tunis, had been settin' 'em up." Printers do like to "puff" occasionally. Bennington has no ice, that is of her own. Our ice dealers are now handling ice from Salina.
