As I retire from active business life in Schleswig I wish to thank the many who have favored me with their trade during the past years that I have been in business here. I assure you that it has all been truly appreciated. I hope that those who have traded with me will continue trading at the ame old stand, and assure them that they will always receive square and honest treatment. Again thanking you for your past patronage, JURGEN SCHROEDER

The Schleswig ball team played their first game this season in Ricketts Sunday and were defeated by the score of 6 to 4. The game was a good one never-the-less. Stoltenberg was in the box for the locals and pitched an exceptionally good game, striking out 11 of the Ricketts batters and allowing but five hits. Paul Jepsen was at the receiving end and caught a good game. The support was good at all times, except in the eighth inning with five errors in a row and let in five scores for Ricketts. Snow of Mapleton pitched for Ricketts, while Norman of Charter Oak caught. A home run by Stoltenberg with two men on bases was a feature of the game.

Two of the Schleswig players were unable to get to Ricketts in time for the game and Henry Peterson of the Brick Hotel and August Ebert of Hanover were substituted. Schleswig has the "makings" of a fast team this year, and with a little more practice the boys will be ready to take on any team in this locality, barring none.

A game will be played on the home diamond Sunday between Charter Oak and Schleswig. This bids fair to be a good game. Come out and help the home boys win. Game starts at three o'clock.

A game of base ball was played on the home diamond Sunday between Charter Oak and Schleswig, Charter Oak walking away with the big end of the score. Good plays were by no means features of the game, errors seeming to be the more general run.

Stoltenberg hurt his arm when warming up before the game and was not in the best condition to pitch.

John Rohwer pitched a good game for the Schleswig kids, while Ida Grove had to use four pitchers.
