sion. Bishop Frank NJ. Bristol will pre-
side. and his knowledge OF the affairs
of this conference win enable him to
efficiently guide the work of the cabinet
Many changes are said to be probable,
but owing to the size of the conference
this Is to be expected. The Sunday re-
vival going on in Omaha will probably
prevent many changes being made in the
city, but nothing definite can. be said
concerning 1t until the conference has
been adjourned. Three OF the district
superintendents are finishing their fifth
years, and it would seem that changes
in the cabinet are not to be expected.
The Nebraska conference includes about
three-fourths OF the state, there being
nine districts and col pastoral charges
The active members number 62,Ol9, and
there is a very large number Of adherents
and supporters. 1t has been the hope
of the church to Increase the member

show that increase. The Sunday school
enrolment is $685. and the Epworth
league has 1881 members.

NEW CONCRETE SIDEWALKS
Construction of Eleven Miles Be-
ing Considered by City
Council

Punta Gorda now has a number
.of miles Of concrete sidewalks
and the construction of eleven
miles more is under consideration
and about to be provided for.
AT late meeting of the city
council, a resolution was adopted
setting forth that this improve
ment can be made under recent
ly enacted state law without max
ing it a great burden on the pro-
perry owners. The city attorney
was instructed to draw an ordi-
nance requiring the construction
Of sidewalks and setting forth
how and of what materials they
shall be constructed, and provid-
ing that, il property-ownerS do
not comply Herewith, then the
and means permitted I'M

requiring this improve
ment was up before the council

McClelland Was Peeved

Friday morning, as the reporter
WAS going to his Office, he met
James X. McCielland, the well
known skilled undertaken and en-
b2lmer, who was looking more sol
emn than he does at funeral; in
deed, he was peeved, and he did
not hesitate to say so. He had a
copy of The Hereld in his hand
and, pointing to the notices of the
deaths of Mrs. Lewis and Mrs.
Decker, said, in substance:
i want to call your attention
to these two notices. Nothing is
said about me in either one of
them, although ] was the under
taker and funeral director for
Mrs. Lewis and was the undertake
.er and embalmer of Mrs. Decker.
III the latter case, kept the body
here for four days and did as line
job OF embalming as can be done
in fhe United States. Not word
ha been said about my work, and
this IS not the first time that you
have ignored me. And yet you
often ask me for an advertisement
for your paper. | tell you / feel
this thing"
The reporter sought to explain
by saying that he had just return
ed from Jacksonville three days
behind with his work and had to
be in a desperate hurry of writ
ing to catch up, which caused him
TO omit mention Of the visit of the
county commissioners on Tuesday
and several other matters of in
crest; that the slight was not in
and so forth and so on.
1ut MACK was so peeved gl.at =
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-10-28

wouldn't stop to listen, but hied
away to his store. Hence this
printed story to reiterate the fact
that the omissions complained of
were not intentional, for the re-
porter has only the kindest feel
ings for McClelland and wouldn I
think to put slight upon him or
hurt his feelings, even though he
has not advertised in this paper
for year past, saving a five-line
notice ia the classified columns Of
fering his business for sale.
But thus it is with a newspaper
man; he is never given credit for
good intentions or good deeds,
but is sure to be cussed for his err
rors, both personal and profess
sional. And the man who does
the least for the newspaper is just
like Mack; he is the quickest to
find fault with it. But Mack is
good fellow, hustler, and as cap
able as any other man of his pro-
fession, fact that is we'll known
in Punta Gorda, and doubtless one

ize that almost any newspaper

Tuesday night. After considerable
discussion in which a number Of
property-owners participated, 8
motion was passed providing fol
the circulation of a petition to as
certain the number Of people fav.
oring and the number opposing
the project.
1t is proposed that, in the bus
mess section along Marian avenue,
sidewalks ten feet in width shall
be constructed, and that along
both sides of all streets within
the district bounded by the bay on
the northwest, the city limits on
the northeast, the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad on the southeast and
Tide creek on the southwest, side
walks five feet in width shall be
constructed, except that the more

they are little used arc not mclud.
ed, and where there are already
good concrete sidewalks new ones
are not to be constructed.

use Of the best grade OF cement in
combination with sand and rock
or shell in proportions that will
give the most durable satisfactory
walks.

to construct their own Sidewalks.
if they so desire, it being neces-
sary only for them to comq,ly with
the requirements of the street
committee and follow ont the
specifications. Should they not
see fit to go ahead with the work,
it is proposed that the city con

interest, the costs to 90 assessed
against the property abutting and
the owners to have the privilege OF
paying same ia ten yearly install
ments with interest added.
The plan favored by some and
opposed by others, is considered
by the council to be one that will
not place a very great burden on
any one, and yet give the town
a very fine system of sidewalks
covering practically the entire
business and residential sections,
it attractive and putting
it abreast with other progressive
towns Of the state.

Florida's Greatest Charity

The Florida Children S Home
Society, of Jacksonville, has issu-
ed a pamphlet telling what it has
done and asking further support
of the people of the state, The in
stitution is supported entirely by
voluntary donations and during
the thirteen years of its existence
has placed 32,42G orphans in
good homes. During Che first
eight years the funds secured a.
mounted to $21, 1917, while with the
donations for the past five years
the society has found homes for
sixteen times as many children as
during the first eight years.
1t is estimated that it costs $3.50
per year to keep a child in an or
phanage. At an average Of $32.-
81 this society places a needy child
in a good family and it is cared
for for life. With the 1927 each
the society asserts that good
homes can be found for all of the
orphans Of Florida.
In appealing to the people of
Florida the society states that it
has just enough money to run

thirty days more. Recently the
organization has been compelled
to refuse its aid to dozens of af-
flicted children, pitfful 'cases, on
account Of lack of funds neces-
sary to help them. The only limit
to the good that can be done is the
limit in funds. Those who wish
to help can send their donations
to R. V. Covington, of Jackson
vile.
Every cent donated to the So
ciety is used in finding homes for
children. The board of directors
pays all salaries and office expen-
ses4
The work is neither denomina-
tional nor sectarian. Children in
need, regardless of creed, are
helped.
There are many ways, besides
the donation of money, in which
the society may be helped. All
kinds OF articles of children S
clothing are needed. 1t is the
hope of the society that a sewing
band will be organized in every
town in the state to gather up,
make and send children's gar
ments The boys and girls like
good things to eat and charitable
people are urged to get up a box
or barrel of preserves, fruit and
staple provisions for them.-Pcn-
