Lineville Wins From Chariton
The Lineville Commercials hung up another scalp last Sunday when
they defeated the Chariton Club by a top heavy score of 17-1 Such
slugging as our boys did. Roy Butcher was the batting star,
getting five hits, some of them for two and three bases in six
times up. Poole, Linn and Atkisson, also were batting the old
ball. Before the game was over the club had batted four pitchers
off the mound for a total of twenty-two hits. This made the sixth
win in eight games played by the locals. The last two games
played were won 14-0 from the Des Moines Giants and the above
described, Frank Griffie pitched a wonderful game at Chariton.
Frank has won his last five games. The whole club are out of
their slump and are playing like they should. The Garden Grove
team comes here Sunday. Wiley, the "Boy Wonder"
pitcher, will be on the mound for Garden Grove, Wiley, while,
only a boy has won some hard games and he always draws big crowds
when he pitches. We do not know who will be on the mound for
Lineville.
A Real Booster Overlooked
When we printed our big anniversary number last week, we tried to
not leave anyone out of our write-ups who deserved praise, but in
our rush we overlooked one of Lineville's leading business men
and a real business man. M. C. Lane was the man. Besides owning
one of our busiest grocery stores M. C. Lane is one who is always
ready to boost and do for his town. Only recently Mr. Lane spent
two days in helping to promote a proposition that will mean so
much to Lineville trading public. He drove his car and spent two
days time with out compensation. Mr. Lane has served terms of
both Mayor and Justice of the Peace, Secretary of the Linville
ball club and enjoys nine innings in the outfield of the ball
club when players are short. He is always ready to give of his
time and money for Lineville and her trading public. Other
business men overlooked in the big edition were Frank Lynch,
Jeweler, Gardner & Cravens, Horse and Mule buyers and Curn
Bright and Wm. Lemon, Live Stock shippers. Add to these A. N.
Harring and J. H. Crees, pioneer insurance agents, E. I. Phillips
and I. A. Greenlee, bricklayers and plasterers, and C. E.
Gieseman, painter and export sign painter and we have covered all
of our local business men. Lineville is proud of their corp of
business men. We could write a page about them and of the clerks
who aid them in making our town one of the best trading points in
the country. Such men as Perry Duncan, Jess Wilson, Tate and
Frank May, Cech Duncan, Hortense Byrd, Emery Belvel, Ira Hawkins.
How could we do without them because a chain is no stronger than
the weakest link and we believe the chain that holds our business
men together is a real one.

On account of getting out the big Edition we did not get all of

The famous Lone Tree Lodge No. ?52 of the I.O.O.F. of Seymour;
will put on the drill work at Mineral Springs Sunday, Sept. 19.
This is the drill team that goes to the Kansas City Conclave in
October. Hundreds of Odd Fellows are expected with their families
as well as others to be at the Springs. Mr. Craney welcomes
everyone to bring their picnic dinner or to eat at the Springs
Café.
The letter from the Seymour Lodge:
Seymour, Iowa, Aug 15, 1926
Jack Craney, Lineville, Iowa.
Dear sir:
At a meeting of Odd Fellows last Thursday night, some of the
brothers stated that you invited them to bring our lodge down to
the Springs for a picnic. Also that you would like us to put on a
drill. Our lodge thinks it would be impossible to do so on any
other day only Sunday. So the lodge voted to except your
invitation for September 19 as that would be about as soon as we
could get prepared for it as hot as it is now. If this date is
satisfactory to you, please let us know. Would like to hear from
you so that we can report to the lodge next Thursday evening.
Yours truly, D. N. Darrah, Fin. Sec.
Pioneer Woman Passes Away
Catherine Nancy, daughter of Isaac Washington and Louisa McCarty,
was born near Farmington, Van Buren County, Iowa, September 25,
1841, passed from this life August 5, 1926 at the home in
Lineville, Ia., aged 84 years, 10 months, 10 days. She came to
Wayne county with her parents when about six years of age. United
in marriage with James Alexander Belvel, April 14, 1860. To this
union eight children were born, Louisa Josephine, Linda Victoria,
Loral Garnt, Mary Lieutitia, Oliver Vanbiber, Lemuel M., Attie
May and Anna. Mr. Belvel passed away Feb 11, 1914. Four of the
children preceded him. Mrs. Belvel's life was spent near the
Indian villages along the Des Moines River. She often told of the
time spent playing with the red children in and about their
tepees. Coming of pioneer stock Iowa had been admitted to the
union but two years when she came to Wayne county the population
of the entire state was less than 100,000. Beginning her married
life in that turbulent period of our country's history the period
of the rebellion that brought on the great civil war, the young
husband going early to the strife to maintain the union, leaving
the wife to the hours of anxiety incident to those who stay at
home while loved ones engage in the struggle, all of which with
the rearing of her family marks her life as one of sacrificial
service, each experience making contribution to her true
"pioneer mother" character. About fifty-three years
ago, Mr. and Mrs. Belvel were converted and united with the M. E.
South church. Moving to Lineville thirty-six years ago, they
transferred their membership to the Methodist Episcopal church of
Lineville where she has sought in her quiet way to forward the
Master's kingdom, being in the Sunday School the last Sunday of
her life but one. She was for many years especially active in the
work of the Ladies Aid Society among whom she was much loved and
greatly missed. Two sons and two daughters, Loral Garant, Lemuel
M. Belvel. Mary Lieutitia Cravens, Louisa Josephine Massey, all
of this community, who with 18 grandchildren, 23 great
grandchildren and one great great grandchild are bereft. Funeral
services were held from the M. E. church Saturday at eleven
o'clock , conducted by Rev. Meeker. Burial in Evergreen cemetery.

Lineville Wins Two
The Lineville Commercials hung up two more victories when they
defeated Half Rock last Saturday at Powersville 11-3 and Garden
Grove at Lineville, Sunday 5-0. In winning from Half Rock
Saturday settled an argument that has been standing for two
years. The Lineville boys started on Artic Weston, Half Rock's
star pitcher and he had to be taken out in the fifth inning. Dale
Linn was the leading hitter with three hits out of five times at
bat. Robert Goode, pitching for Lineville, was going good and
allowed but 5 hits and an error on an easy ground ball by
Atkisson, let Half Rock get their first two runs and two hits and
a fielders choice, let them get the other one which was the only
one earned. Griffie pitching for Lineville, shut out Garden Grove
in a nicely pitched game Sunday. The feature of the game was the
fielding of Jimmy Moore in center field.
