SUCCESSFUL YEAR
OF LOCAL CHURCH

The First Presbyterian church had
its annual church meeting yesterday
at Il a. m. Fine reports were heard
from every society in the church.
Thhe church had 81 members year
ago. Five members have been dis
missed and 90 new members have
been received, making a total of 122
members at present The Sunday
school has increased from 40 mem
bers to over 100 members. A total
of S3,761 has been received by the
treasurers during the past year. A
lot on which to build a manse has
been purchased for $3.50. The manse
subscription totals $3,444. OF this
amount about half has been paid in.
The manse will be erected at once.
The church is now self-supporting
and has literally contributed to the
benevolent causes. At the congrega-
tional meeting on Sunday morning
Howard Terry was elected a deacon
and Wiley Mosley was elected by the
session to represent the church at the
meeting of Arkansas Presbytery st
Lonoke April II. This was the best
year in the history of the local
church.

PATRIOTIC TIDE ON
IN CAPITAL CITY
FIRST REGIMENT CALLED
Martial Air Prevades Little Rock as
Guardsmen Again Prepare
for Service.

Little Rock, April Khaki uni
forms became prominent on Main
street Sunday, and the local recruit
ing office was one of the busy spots
of the city. Everywhere flags are
floating and Little Rock has decid-
edly patriotic and martial air Mem
bers of the Little Rock company of
the First regiment spent most of the
day about the recruiting office, and
making ready to go into camp at
Fort Logan H. Roots.
At the state capitol, where the sup
plies for the Arkansas national guard
are stored, the entire commssary
force worked Sunday getting tents
and other camp supplies ready for is
suance again. The tents and property
of the First regiment had only few
days before been rechecked and
stored.
1t is thought the companies COM
posing the First regiment, re-
spending to the call from Washing
ton, will begin assembling at Fort
Logan H. Roots this week, and that
recruiting will go ahead rapidly un-
til the regiment has it's full fighting
strength. Should there be a declara
ton, proclaiming a state Of war
then little trouble is anticipated in
recruiting. Should the declaration
come within the next day or so, Capt.
A. B. Sloan, U. S. A., may be per
mitted to remain as lieutenant col
onel of the First, instead of returning
to his old command in the regular
army. Under the rules fixed by con-
gress, all officers of the regular army
must spend two out of each six
years in actual service, which means
they must get the service with the
regulars.
There is some suggestion of chang
es in the officers of the guard, should
there be call for actual service, and
that some of the officers will be
placed on the retired list.
