Th n look d around for :, hotPI or re taurant. Th re was one Hotel and it did nol look inviting so we w1•nt 111 the only Restaurant of lh town only to find it closed. On inquiry WP fnund thl· owner had clo ed up to go to dinner. We knew if he die! not hav • enough to eat for himself there was no show for us. Next we went to the Hot I. On ent ring we found the proprietor looking as if his wife had thrown a pan of dish wat r on him and when you would peak to him the only thing he couid c],, wa·1 · to quote scripture and try to impress upon our minds that his was a thirty-fivl' cent Hotel. We could believe that all right but we weren't wanting a Hnt~I even tho it was only a thirty-five cent one. W wanted something to e t and wanted it quick. By this time everybody had forgotten about chapel talks and certain lec– tures. We were just the same as a pack of Texas cowboys. Everybody rushed out of the Hotel and to the corner Grocery. We didn't ask the Groceryman his price, we just took possesion. After everyone had gotten their pockets full of corn beans, cakes, fish, pickles, bananas and cheese we a k him his bill. He finally gasped out "one dollar and ninty-five cents. More busines · than I have had sin12e Linton got married." We returned to the wagon where in front of that thirty-five cent Hotel we ate our one dollar and ninty-five centdin– ner and Duke Yoho was filled- filled to the chin-filled till his head was turned and he tried to beat the wagon tire off with a bean can and slide down tht' tongue on a banana peeling. From here we continued on our way and arrived at Wilmington a little after two. At about three the game was called. Cedarville taking the field. The first ball pitched was hit thru second. This started things going and the first inning ended with the score 4-1 in favor of Wilmington. At the end of the second edarville had shoved across the plate her second run. But all this time Mose was making hits with the Ladies and they had cast a hodoo upon the team. o in the third our shortstop missed two grounders hand running. They did not miss him hut hit his ankle and made right angles with his big feet. When
