SWIFTON NEWS.
Swifton won another ball game
from the team who wrote to the In
dependent some two weeks ago that
they wanted to take the banner. Baich
has a .splendid team, all good ball
players and a team of perfect gentle
men. But the reputable Swifton
team had the visitors at their mercy
at all times.

Umpire, Bob Graham.
We wish to acknowledge the re
ceipt of Mr. Nance’s letter in last
week’s Independent, but sorry we
have to, but being that he is so ear
nest with his statement, will say that
we overlooked the ball game with
Baich Thursday, July 2, and did not
intend to write the game up, but now
after the big writeup, nothing was
said about the score. The score stood
10 to 2. ud until the first half of the
ninth inning, when some of our
playing slack, a couple of hits with
two already down, gave them 4 run
in the last inning, making the game
10 to 6 and now, like all other teams
that play Swifton, the big IF is in the
way, causing them to lose. We are
sorry that Mr. Nance made the state
ment that we were going to play
Balch the 27th, for we have never
matched a game for that date with
Balch.
In regard to the outside players,
must say that sounds like kid talk,
for we have our first time to ever
match a game of baseball and then se
lect the players for the other team.
All we can say is that we are cham
pions of dear old Jackson county, and
if Balch is the only prospect of win
ning it from us we will be champions
until the world comes to an end.
Our manager, Mr. J. N. Moon. made
the statement last evening at the
club room, that Balch being so de
termined to play us, that if they
wanted to get another whack he would
take the team to Newport and
meet the Balch team on Newport
ground.
So if Balch wants another chance
at the banner team they can arrange
dates with the manager to play on
Newport ground.
And any other ball team wanting a
game with Swifton boys can easily
get a game by writing.

BATTLE AXE,
Tom Brown informs me that his
name is Brown, and not Davis. My
notes as printed last week referred
to Lindley and Davis’ Mill, instead of
Lindley and Brown. Don’t know
whether Scribbler or the printer is
responsible for the slip.
Meeting conducted by Rev. J. F.
Jernigan and Rev. J. B. Stewart has
been in progress since Wednesday, the
8th. Interest is growing and congre
gations large for night service. Only
two conversions, but we expect great
er results.
Mrs. J. A. Sexton learned by phone
yesterday that her brother, Bass
Ford, was drowned near Powhatan.
No particulars. Mr. Ford is well
known here, having lived here sever
al years. He spent several months
here last winter aiding in gathering
and went up the river in the spring,
intending to work in the timber. He
leaves a wife, a daughter of W. B.
Doyle, and three small children.
Mr. Smith, with hia wife and sev
eral children, came here in the spring
to get work, occupying a house on J.
W. Lindley’s farm. Mrs. Smith has
been quite sick for several weeks, and
on recovery from attack of fever is
found to have lost her mind. She is
to be sent at once to Little Rock for
treatment at the 3tate hospital for
the insane.
Rev. J. L. Brown is expected to
fill his monthly appointment next
Saturday and Sunday.
Singing school of the fa-sol-la type
conducted by Mr. John Mitchell, meet
ing at school building every night.
Quite a number of our young people
are attending and manifesting unusu
al interest. No information as to how
long term is to be. Hope it will give
our young people a permanent inter
est in song and will result in adding
more voices in song at future services.
Weather conditions are practically
unchanged. Some helpful showers in
adjacent neighborhoods since last
notes were written, but nothing here.
General feeling is that we have fair
prospect yet for cotton, but that the
corn question is settled; that the corn
on which the crop of 1916 is to be
made (around Battle Axe at least) is
to be hauled out from nearest rail
road station, and only hope our yield
of cotton and price at gathering time
may furnish means with which to buy
corn and hay. Hence, we are busy
as bees in the cultivation of the cot
ton, sharpening the plows and plow
ing again and again, trying to pro*
serve moisture and keep growth till
the rain we hope for DOES come.
Some of J. W. Lindley’s cattle on
the range north of. us are beginning
to imitate some people we meet, try
ing to keep up with the fashion. Mr.
Lindley put some very nice ear rings
(tags) in their ears and also decor- ,
ated their hips with beautiful brands.
But they, seeing other cattle with *;
different style of jewelry, etc., have
been, by some means, changing to cor- • i":
respond. Mr. Lindley has just gone
un to investigate. It rather occurs to
this scribe that somebody is vigor- «'
ously knocking at the door of the
ponitfintiftry •
Scribbler.
