"When the cat's away the mice will play."

The event will transpire next Saturday afternoon.
Yohe's and Neal's University nines are going to play three games for the Canfield silver ball. The first game was played last Friday, resulting in a victory for Yohe's nine by one score at the end of the seventh inning. Neal's nine gained largely on the eighth inning, only half of which, however, was played, on account of the approaching darknes. So the game was adjudged to the Yohe's. The nines are closely matched, and the contest for the other two games will be very intesting.

CALDWELL — McFARLAND. — The many readers of THE COURIER will be glad to learn of the marriage of Mr. E. F. Caldwell and Miss Viola McFarland at the residence of the bride's parent's. The event took place last night, Rev. Dr. Cordy officiating. The ceremony was witnessed by quite a number of the immediate friends of the family. The house was very prettily decorated with evergreens and autumn leaves. The presents were many and fine and only excelled by the earnest wishes of the donors for the happiness and prosperity of Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell.
On the strength of the Ohio election, Gov. Hoadley being a Beta, and Governor-elect Foraker being a Phi Psi, the Beta boys "set 'em up" in fine shape to the Phi Psis last Saturday night. After initiating their new member, Walter Davis, the Phi Psis called upon the Betas and were most cordially received and hospitably entertained. After refreshments, the boys all felt quite jolly and passed the time very pleasantly with songs, speeches and social intercourse. After many expressions of good will on both sides, the guests gave three rousing cheers for Hoadley and the Betas, who heartily returned them by as many for Foraker and the Phi Psis. The hour being late, the boys then left, the Phi Psis hoping that they may spend many such pleasant evenings with their Beta friends.
