About twenty years ago Claude was one of the “headiest” pitches in Nebraska and was scheduled for one of the big eastern leagyes, when the turn of events caused him to quit base ball. The following article recently appeared in the Pierce Leader and ex plains about the way they all felt to ward Claude: “Claude Stimson of Breslau was in Pierce Tuesday on business. Claude conducts a general merchandise store at Breslau, besides being the postmaster at that place and he is doing very well at both jobs. No doubt several of the base ball players of several years ago will remember Claude as being a star base ball pitcher on the Plainview team. He had a wicked habit of making the Pierce players cut great chunks in the atmosphere when they came to bat, and they didn’t like this one bit. Claude always was a likeable sort of base ball chap, and his friends in Pierce are always glad to see him and shake his paw again.

Following the speaking at the Roy al theatre, he was entertained by S. J. Weekes at a smoker at his home on east Douglas street. About forty friends were present. M. E. CHURCH NOTES.

The pastor enjoyed a visit, Monday afternoon, with Rev. Rasmussen, of Emmett. He informs us that their new church building is very near com pletement. This fine building will be a great credit to the people of Em met. The mid-week prayer meetings are being well attended this fall and win ter. We feel that this is as it should be, for a church without any prayer life, will not be able to do the work of the Kingdom as Jesus would have it done. We urge every member and friend of the church to get out to some of the \prayer meetings. Miss Ethel Tasby, of Chester, Ne braska, who represents the W. F. M. Society, spoke Sunday morning. Her message was well received, A. W. F. M. S. was organized at close of her address, with a membership of twenty-two. This society will hold its first meeting Tuesday, December 12, afternoon at the home of Mrs. E. A. Dimmitt. We trust every member will attend this the first meeting as there is much business to attend to. The Frontier, only $2.00 per year. Unbeatable Prices On Groceries!!
