Stallings Confident

| THERE are yet number of cold and
i spectral winter moons ahead of us be-
fore April arrives. There are many addi-
tional moons beyond this before we come
to another October. But even this far
ahead Mandarin George Stallings, of the
Braves, can visualize his clan romping
into the Red Sox, Tigers or White Sox
as the American League case might be.
Stalllngs was confident enough last
spring. But unkempt Fate blocked his
way. And now for 1916 the Brave leader
believes he has even thwarted Fate.
II have received word" says Stallings,
that Bill James is now back in shape
and all soreness has left his arm. But
in addition to James, Rudolph, Hughes,
Ragan and Tyler, have in Neff and
Barnes two of the greatest young pitchers
1 have ever seen. Out of these seven
pitchers 1 am sure to get four who are
in shape, and four will be enough For
I have at last gotten a regular outfeld-
the best one l have ever had-and I
know beyond a doubt I will have a much
better ball club than the team that took
the field last year"
The Return of the Braves
Stalings ia no wild and woolly prophet
nor any rabld dispenser of the voluble
dope. But 1t is simple enough to observe
that deep down in his soul he is quite
sure his Braves will stage n return and
re-enter the Promised Land of world
series kale and glory.
And IL takes no terrific expert to con-
fess that so far as the dope goes STALL
ings has started his dream up the stair
way of probability. Certainly, In the ad-
vance fling, the Braves look to be the
One Best Pick of the N. L. field.
The Penn Predicament

FAREWELL SERMON.

On Sunday night, November t4th, Rev. A. L. Cline. pastor of the NJ. F Church. South, will preach his farewell sermon to the people of Springdale. This being the close of his four years in Springdate, and he will be transferred to other fields, when the conference meets latter part of this month.
 It is very doubtful if there was ever a minister in Springdale who Iof the people of Springdale as does Rev. Cline Coming here four years ago a perfect stranger, he is now preparing to leave carrying with him the best wishes of the entire cfti- Izenship of Springdale and surround ing community. When he came to SpringdaIe the church was not in la flourishing condition, aud he faced many obstacles in his efforts 10 build up a church in keeping with the community. The building was inadequate, poorly furnished, and the membership scattered. In four years time the church has grown to be one of the leading ones in Spring dale, newly furnished, handsome | light fixtures, q new addition has been built, and the church improved 1 in many ways. The membership has been strengthened, and his four years here have been one of almost l lphenominal success.
 He is appreciated not only by the members of his own congregation but by every Christian man, wo- man, boy and girl in Springdale. and among his own he is especially well l liked
 Rev. Cline has not confined his efforts solely to the upbailding of his own church, but has used his time and ability to further the cause of religion in many ways. He has always taken an active part iu ev- cry movement Tor better Spring dale, throwing himself into the front rank of every struggle, and his leaving will not only be felt by hfs church and eonereeation. but ey Springdale as whole. There is nc possibility of his returning here, as four years is the limit in his con- ference. and there are those in Springdale by he score Nho regret such ruling. His place will be= =hart to fin in Springdale

SWIPED THE CLOCK.

There is gloom in the city off cial circles, the entire police force is baffled, and the nightwatch is puzzled, all because someone has "swiped" the nightwatchman' clock.
 Much has been said and written about that clock, which the night watch carries around his neck, and as he makes his rounds during the night, registers at the various sta tions. It served it's purposea we'll, and kept an accurate tab Of the do- ings of. the night watch, to such an extent that the Council could tell just what their hired help" was do- ing. But the clock has disappeared, and has now been absent for two weeks, and the Council has 10 way of telling whether the Watchman sleeps, or is "still'' on the job.
 The clock was kept in side room of the warehouse of the Springdale Hardware and Implement Co.,. on Hol comb street, and on last Halloween after he had made the usual night rounds the clock was placed on it's accustomed nail to await the coming of the inspector. Nightwatchman Odle left the clock about half past four Sunday morning, and sometime between that and six o'clock the lock was taken off the door, thrown in the street, and the clock disap- peared. It was first thought that it was some Halloween prank, but time has passed and the clock re- turneth not.
 The clock was purchased by popu lar subscription from the merchants Alderman Rupple being the daddy of che idea. ard he is now sorely unified, because his pet has dis appeared. It will probably be nee essary to purchase another time. keeper, for the nightwatch says #ht is lonesome without il during the wee small hours.

MEETING AT EHEM.

The writer returned last week from Bethlehem church. near Gen. terton, Benton county, where he had been in a very precious meet ing. The church had invited Bro tier L. L. Johnson, of Lowell, to assist in the meeting, and he did most of the preaching. Brother T.. F, Jones, who is a member of hat church, and also Brother A. N. San ders, rendered valuable help in the meeting, each of them preaching some splendid sermons. The meet ing followed the Benton County As sociation, which met with this church this year, and it seemed that the Lord was with Us from the begin ming, and so the Gospel was preached in power and demonstration Of the spirit. It proved to be the sword of the spirit, and many sinners came inquiring what must I do to be saved ?'' There were eighteen pro- fessions during the meeting, ten ap- proved for baptism, with more to follow Brother Johnson won his way to the hearts of the people. He is one Of Gods noblemen, and shuns not to declare the whole council of God. May the blessings of God rest upon him as he goes to other fields is the prayer of the pastor> of the church. God be praised for his good ness to us.
