THIRTY AND FIFTY YEARS AGO from the files of the Phelps Citizen IH ffiiy YEARS A S o \ May 10, 1923 The Phelps High sqhool base ball team met the Clifton Springs High school contingent on the local diamond lost Friday After noon, and gave them a- trimming by a score of 14 to 1. On Satur day the Fthelps players went to Waterloo to put the High School baseball team .of that village to a scientific test, but at the end of the fourth inning the game was ended in a row of a differ ent scientific order. Although ten days of the month of May have passed, some progress has been made toward spring weather. The nights have been cool dining the past week, and on Sunday morning signs of a frost were evidenced, al though on several occasions the day temperature has gone about 75 degress. Foliage has made a start, grass is taking on Its green, and some kinds of fruit trees are in blossom, all of which goes to show that the season is progressing. Ram be gan to fall on Tuesday. May 14, IM S Eggs have advanced two cents since our last- quotation# and are now selling for 17 cents per dozen, Butter has declined in price two cents and is sell ing for 22 cents. Fanners are having quite a serious time in fitting the grounds for the spring planting. The continued dry weather has made the ground so hard and dry that plowing Is next to an impossibility. About 40 new pieces of shrub bery jhave been set in Memorial park, to replace some of the previous settings which have been killed. ’ The park presents an attractive appearance and its lawn ft: making a good start. The first mowing wafe made this week. Dr. Vanderhoof and son, Fred, went to Cayuga on Monday on a fishing trip, returning in the afternoon with 30 or 40 pounds of pike and pickerel. Among the catch was a seven pound wall-eyed pike, ti,he largest taken from the lake this season. The Phelps Percheron Horse Co., comprising 13 members, have purchased the handsome black Percjheron Stallion, Drake, which has been on exhibition here. The price paid was $2600.
