EDITOR RECEIVES WARNING
The Tribune Editor received a bloody dagger in his morning mail Wed.
The dagger is some 18 inches long with a broad blade and had apparently been
dipped in blood or (red ink). Several messages were inscribed on the blade
including skull and cross bones, "Beware, do unto others as you would be done by,""
etc.
The Editor who happens to be Mayor of the city, has the entire police
force working on the case and has retained Jim Davis, well known Lineville
attorney. If the guilty party is apprehended the Editor and his attorney plan to
make the skull and cross bones look like a Sunday School lesson in comparison
to what will happen to the black hander. It will sure go bad with any dusky
skinned dark complected native of Sunny Italy, who happens into town during the
next few days as this is evidently the work of the black hand or some other
such organization.

Lineville Will Have Ball Club --
Officers for 1925 are Selected at Pep Meeting
At a band concert and baseball meeting held in May's hall Monday
evening, it was unanimously decided that Lineville should have a ball club this year.
After a band concert short talks were made by Manager Logan, Chas. Davis,
Happy Hawkins and Mayor Varney. Officers were elected. Manager Logan being
re-elected, Chas. Davis, assistant manager and M. C. Lane, Secretary and
Treasurer. Several members of the 1924 Club including "Kid" Bryan, Evan "Jack"
and "Skeet" Molleston, Jimmy Moore, Morris and Carl Lane and George
Greenlee were on hand. Most of these boys will be in the 1925 line-up. Several
of them have had experience in minor leagues and they are all real ball
players. Several recruits who will take part in a number of spring training and
exhibition games, were on hand including, Lyle Laughlin, Bill Cunningham, Slim
Pryor, Emery Belvel, Donny Petty and others.
Some of these boys stand a chance to make the team and should they show
up good, Manager Logan will use them. Word has been received from Bryan
Adkisson of Trenton, Mo., slugging first baseman, that he is ready also. Dale Linn
of Ravanna and Red Carrolton and Johnny may be added to the line-up. Asst.
Manager Davis has written these boys to come for a try out. Harlely Petty,
slugging out-fielder, may be with us again this year and possibly Fred Greenlee,
now attending school at Ames. A letter is also out to Ray McKinney and Dale
Viers, both on the hurling list last year. These pitchers together with
George Greenlee, should strike fear into the hearts of would be Babe Ruth's in this
section during the coming season. Everyone boost for a winning ball club.

Clio Could Not Hit Lefty Casey --
High School Team Wins by a One-sided Score Here Friday
In a ball game between Clio and Lineville high school teams here last
Friday, the home team won by a 26 to 0 score. As this was the first game of the
season, Clio probably was not in as good shape as the locals who have been
working hard to get into shape. During the past two weeks Coach Cramlet has kept
the boys under strict training rules and the benefit of this training is seen
in the score of the first game. Any time a young fellow thinks more of a
cigarette than he does of physical fitness, it is a sad day for that boy. There
is no finer thing than a good, clean physically trained athlete. Men who live
clean and keep physically fit are the men who are succeeding today. We
believe that the boys under Coach Cramlet are in good hands and should give a good
account of themselves in the spring games. The line-up for Lineville was:
Haner, catcher; Casey, Pitcher; Wilson, Petty, L. Bryan and C. Belvel,
infield; Saylors, Alexander and Davis in the outfield. "Lefty" Casey helped the
score along with a home run that brought a broad smile to Coach Cramlet's face in
the 2nd. There were rumors that Tramp Bryan used a willow bat in the 3rd
when he poled a three bagger. The boys all played heads up baseball but the
chances are against them defeating Clio by such a score next time.

Bakery Installs New Machinery -- Electric Moulder Added to Present Bakery Equipment.
A fine electric Peerless loaf molder was installed in the Probst Bakery
the last of the week. The molder is of the latest pattern and has a capacity of
1000 loaves an hour. Besides saving Mr. Probst the labor it will enable the
bakery to turn out any amount of bread on short notice.
The Lineville Bakery is already equipped with a modern electric mixer,
proof and raising boxes and the bakery is one of the most modern and up-to-date
in this part of the state and an industry of which the town and country are
proud. Mr. Probst is an expert baker and the Probst's are good people and
deserve the patronage of town and country. Their products are the best. The big
moulder is in operation at 10:00 a.m. each day and visitors are always welcome.

Go Swimmin' Early
A couple of school boys were discovered swimming Sunday, in a pond near
town. We would not want to print their names but their initials are Rolla
Belvel and Earl Dean Lovett. Go to it boys. There is nothing like the "Ole
Swimmin Hole." We will make a good wager that they neither one caught cold.

A neat filling and service station has just been completed on the
southwest corner of the square by Chas. Haver. The station is on the Petty lots just
north of the State Line and is a very neat affair of tile and stucco
construction. Access is easy from both Main and Line streets besides being located at
