IT WILL BE A GO. t A Conning Factory will tee Located In this City. John Dobbs, of Elnora, was in the city this week looking up a location ’for the purpose of locating a canning Factory and has several cites in view. !llft returned home Wednesday and will return sometime next week. The cotupauy which he is representing are putting in a plant at Elnora this BeSson and will also place one in operation heie. it is just such an institution as is - needed at this point. First, because It will give employment to a number of people who are always idle at this season of the year. Second, that it will give the farmers and gardeners a chance to make money out of vegetable^ such as corn, peas, tomatoes and beans. y As an illustration pf what can be , made out of it by the farmers, torn a- „ toes will yield from 350 to COO bushels per acre, and at 30 cents per bushel the farmer or gardener would net a neat sum of monev, more »han can be made in auy other way. Say for instance that a gardener would contract with the cannery to put out five acres of tomatoes, the firm would agree to take forty bushels per day of the crop raised on that number of acres. You <mn readily see that the gardeuer is making a neat little sum 01 money each day. The proper encouragement should be given and our citizens should wake • up to the fact that Petersburg should not miss the opportunity of securing this establishment. Now is the time to go to work and secure it.

A WHEEL IN HIS HEAD, The Oakland City Journal Green with Envy.

walls thau she has ever seen before. | The caiup meeting was a howling success. Everything went from sledge hammer blows from the black divine’s to sledge hammer blows on a “eullud tremmenV* scalp; from the pure circus lemonade to that tinctured with spirits trunienti. They invited a crowd of gentlemanly boys from Huntingbut'g over to play ball and the Pike countyites hooted and howled and tried tointiniidate and ctnbarass them—a nice way to treat guests that. Yes, Petersburg is a great town. Now comedown to the Qakland City fair an4 learn something.

BASE BALL, Petersburg Enthusiasts Witness Several Good Games. Last Friday the Jasper boys came over and played with the Petersburgs, winning the game very easily in tbe.first inning owing tt> the ragged fielding of the home team. After that fatal inning tho boys went at them with a vengeance and outplayed ithem at every point. The work after the first inning by Akridge and Lory was simply superb, borne of the Petersburg boys now wbo attend thp games simply say that it was played that way in order to get up a little lenthusiasm to catch the Iluntingburg team. The following was the score by innings: Innings ....[.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Petersburg.. . 1. 1 0 l 2 1 3 2 1 1-12 Jasper ltt ^ 1 0 4 3 0 0 0-26 | Batteries—Jasper, Green and Cassidy; Petersburg, Akridge and Lory. • Umpire, Mink. Saturday the Huntiugburgs, one of the crack teams of Southern Indiana, assisted by players of the Boonville and Canned ton teams, put in an appearance at Sportsman Park. It was one of the prettiest games of the season and Was any man’s game until the last man -was put out in the ninth inning. Miller, the Iluntjngburg pitcher, was knocked out of the box in the sixth inning and Weitktypp substituted. The infant battery of Petersburg again occupied the points and excelled themselves. Errors and strikeouts were very lew and the game was played out at every point. The score by innings was as follows: Innings . .1 2 8 4 5 6 7 8 9 Petersburg .1 0 0 0 2 0 6 1 0—10 Huutiugburg. 0 0 0 2 2 2 0 0 0—6 Batteries—Petersburg, Akridge and Jory; Iluntingburg', Miller, Weitkamp aud Shurig. Umpire. Taylor. 1 Sunday afternoon the same teams opposed each ytber except a change of batter^1 by the Huntiugburgs. Tho infant battery of Petersburg still occupying tho points making the third game in succession in three days. Tho game was well plaved throughout, but the visiting club were stuck on making six scores and no more as on the previous day, while the home team went them two better and winning bv the following score: Innings__._1 23456789 Petersburg —4 0 1 0 4 0 1 0 2—12 liuntlngburK ..... 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 1—6 Batteries—Petersburg, Akridge and Lory; Huntingburg, Weitkamp and Sliurig. Umpire, Taylor.

There is no dissatisfaction over any of the games except in the last game over a questionable decision in the last inning, but which would not materially have affected the score. The boys {tie playing good ball and should be encouraged. There is no question but what Akjidge and Lory compose one of the best amateur batteries in Southern Indiana, and with the support given them in Saturday’s game can beat any neighboring town in the First district or the Second for that mattei'. They have lost but one game thin season and that one through very rank plays. Wednesday afternoon the famous Princeton team came over to do battle with i:he Petersburg “infauts” and went home gloriously done up. The boys pat on their war paint and were ready for busiuess from start to finish. Tbe ‘'little giant” battery again demonstrated that they are equal to an1 emergency and will always aee the boys through when they play ball. The Princetons were strengthened up by the Mauck boys, who are the best ball players in Southern Indiana, and had it not beeu for their playing the team would fiave been shut out. The following is tin score by innings: Innings .. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Petersburg. 5 4 0 0 4 0 1 0 2-16 Princeton .... .... 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 2 0—5 Batteries—Petersburg, Akridge and Lory; Princetoa.
