his credit for the season.
The only score of the game was
made by Ray the first man up for
Florence. The visitors rlsyed ball ev-
ery minute of thy gamo. The lc.?al
boys made a few errors but cn tho
whole played good ball. Helms be-
gan with a sore arm but got better as
the game advanced. He came out of
a bad hole in one inning ,when a
couijle of errors filled the bases with
no outs. Helms cut down two bat-
ters and threw the third one out on
first. Heard and McCann were um-
pires. ,

2 Exclusive Features of
the Super-Brunswick
You Can't Buy Else-
where
The reason ho many music lovers prefer tho
Super-Brunswick Is easily found. It is the
patented Super-Brunswick Kepr»»duction.
Tone is tlie chief reason for so many
friends for the Super-Brunswick.
And tone depends largely upon the repro-
ducer and Tone Amplifier.
In both of these feature* the Super-
Brunswick has gone far in advance.
The Kupcr-CUona plays all records—not
confining you to one make—and It plays
each exactly as intended with the proper
diaphragm—the proper needle. Be*t of all,
it is not a hastily contrived makeshift, but
a hasie invention. The Super-Brunswick
Tone Amplifier Is ballt entirely of wood-
It la oral shaped and moulded of raw holly-
- . , w»d—like the sounding board of a fine
niunSHifk piano. Yon will appreciate how far In ad-
vance the Super-Brunswick Is. You will
Open Air Service.
The rains for the past two weeks
have prevented the Baptist-Methodist
Ipen air service from being held on
the outside on the lot prepared. The
grounds will be cleaned off, and If the
weather permits, the service will be
held there Sunday night. If It Is too
damp on the outside, the meeting will
be In the First Baptist church.
Rev. J. H. Groseclose, pastor of the
First Methodist church, is out of the
city conducting a revival, and Rev. M.
T. Andrews of the First Baptist
church will preach Sunday night. V
Buster Hits Town.
Buster Brown and Tige spread
much joy here Friday afternoon
which they visited the White Shoe
House and gave scores of Tomple kid-
dies an eye-full, an ear-full, and both
hands full. While a couple of hun-
dred men, women and children pack-
ed the store, Buster demonstrated the
merits of his ''lazy old side-kick Tige"
and likewise the advantages of the
Buster Brown shoes nameS after him.
Then he led a chorus of willing voices
in cheers for this brand of footgear,
and exacted- promises from them that
they never would wear any but Buster
Browns. At the conclusion gifts were
distributed among the children.
Wont to Pave Eighth Street.

Washington, Aug. 27.—^Retail prices,
in the opinion of the federal reserve
board, will decline slightly during the
coming fall and wirfler months and
will slump next spring to still lower
levels. Summarizing recent changes
in prices of various commodities, the
board in a report last night said that
saving afforded by manufacture*
through lessened cost of materials aA
Increased efficiency of labor must
eventually be reflected In a downward
movement of retail prices."
Although a general slight slump in
retail prices during the next few
months was forecast, the board was
of the opinion that In most lines
higher prices were probable, "due to
the fact that purchases for the
autumn and winter trade had already
beer, contracted for at the old level of
prices."
Changes in the prices of raw ma-
terials, which were reported to have
been sharp during the past two weeks,
will not show their effect, according
to the board, in retail prices until
early next spring.

laid during my term as mayor of Temple. I have 'spent practically
my entire life looking toward the betterment ef my town and sur-
rounding country, and say without hesitation that I have done as much
for the town of Temple and Temple territory as any man that ever
lived In Temple, or Bell county.
The only promise I make you, If elected, is to look after the
Interest of the Commissioners' work In the same manner that I
looked after the interests of the city of Temple during my term of
office as mayor. I will give you a straight and honest administration,
as 1 have always done in any Una that I have handled.
Assuring you of my appreciation of your vote today,
3. B. WATTERS.
