The M.E. parsonage is no longer a fiction but reality as far as money is concerned, Rev. Dutton having solicited for the building the past few weeks, and met with grand success.

The ball game last Thursday at Bang’s ball park, Cary vs. Wauconda Juniors, proved very interesting and exciting after the first inning, and resulted in a score of 17 to 13 in favor of Wauconda, though some of the Cary players were twice the size of our boys. Manager Hubbard is beginning to feel quite proud of his tea, and believes that they can beat anything of their size in the state. Griswold and Hanlon, battery for the Wauconda’s did great work during the entire game, being in better shape at the close than at the start.
Louis Harris went to Chicago Tuesday and enlisted as a barber in the U.S. navy and will leave for duty next Tuesday. Louis has not worked at the barber trade to any great extent, and upon applying to enlist on the barber staff was requested to give a man a shave and hair cut which he did without any hesitation, just as though he had been there before. He passed the medical examination and was accepted. This will no doubt be a good experience for Louis as it does not only give him a large practice at barbering but will place him in a way to see a large part of the world and give him a permanent job for three years.
