Dear Mr. and Mrs: Charlesworth,
The 'sorrow that;.your departure taus -
es us, we are not fully to eapress,
either by words or acts... The'. setpar-
ation that is about to take place is
painful to us• as 'a church. However
we believe that Providence has so
ordered it. His kind providences are
sometimes dark and obscure to us,
vet we ' know that "He doeth all
things well, that. all things work to-
getleer for good. . to them that love
Gad." Be assured of this, dear.
friends, 'that our sorrow .on this
oe-
easion
wiII
not hitder
us from
ex
p•es,ng
our beat: wishes for you. Be-
fore leaving us, would. you kindly ac-
cept of this small gift, just to remind
you of 'the .friends you have left . be-
hind . you, in Clinton Baptist, church
and the days we have • labored togeth-
•er in christiars fellowship. Yours. in
behalf of the Church."
Mr. and Mrs. Charlesworth both
made very neat. replies to the above,
expressing their deep regret at leav-
ing Clintion and the many friends they
had made here.
GOOD BALL PLAYERS.
On Monday afternoon last Clinton's:'
baseball nine, the brave boys who
have so worthily upheld the glory of
the •town ' during this season of 1910,
met the "Nebraska Indians" in dead-
ly . combats on the local •diamond and,
sad to relate, went down to defeat
before the . nimble -footed redskins.
The score at the end of the game was
10-3 in favorof the Indians. Not
satisfied with the result, as who
would culled, them to be, who
lost a game before tld, season, an-
other match was arranged for . Tues-
day evening, the result being the same
only a little, more so. .
There is no use denying the fact
that the Indians can play ball. 'I he
mystic curves of. Tasker, the splendid
catching of "Tommy". Hawkins and
the excellent fielding,' «of "Tiny"
Twitchell Were alike of no •avail, When
they got a chance at a hall they
batted it clean off the lot, and then,
how they, would • run.1 They were like
so many deer, and didn't do a . thing
but pile up runs.
The Clinton bays played well, and
shouldn't feel too badly aboitt their
defeat, as the Indians have been
winning right along from trained col-
lege teams and the idea of beating
them was scarcely entertained, but no
doubt it would have been more satis-
factory to the home team had the
score been somewhat more even, Fol-
lowing is the line-up of players

Dear Mr. and Mrs: Charlesworth,
The 'sorrow that;.your departure taus -
es us, we are not fully to eapress,
either by words or acts... The'. setpar-
ation that is about to take place is
painful to us• as 'a church. However
we believe that Providence has so
ordered it. His kind providences are
sometimes dark and obscure to us,
vet we ' know that "He doeth all
things well, that. all things work to-
getleer for good. . to them that love
Gad." Be assured of this, dear.
friends, 'that our sorrow .on this
oe-
easion
wiII
not hitder
us from
ex
p•es,ng
our beat: wishes for you. Be-
fore leaving us, would. you kindly ac-
cept of this small gift, just to remind
you of 'the .friends you have left . be-
hind . you, in Clinton Baptist, church
and the days we have • labored togeth-
•er in christiars fellowship. Yours. in
behalf of the Church."
Mr. and Mrs. Charlesworth both
made very neat. replies to the above,
expressing their deep regret at leav-
ing Clintion and the many friends they
had made here.
GOOD BALL PLAYERS.
On Monday afternoon last Clinton's:'
baseball nine, the brave boys who
have so worthily upheld the glory of
the •town ' during this season of 1910,
met the "Nebraska Indians" in dead-
ly . combats on the local •diamond and,
sad to relate, went down to defeat
before the . nimble -footed redskins.
The score at the end of the game was
10-3 in favorof the Indians. Not
satisfied with the result, as who
would culled, them to be, who
lost a game before tld, season, an-
other match was arranged for . Tues-
day evening, the result being the same
only a little, more so. .
There is no use denying the fact
that the Indians can play ball. 'I he
mystic curves of. Tasker, the splendid
catching of "Tommy". Hawkins and
the excellent fielding,' «of "Tiny"
Twitchell Were alike of no •avail, When
they got a chance at a hall they
batted it clean off the lot, and then,
how they, would • run.1 They were like
so many deer, and didn't do a . thing
but pile up runs.
The Clinton bays played well, and
shouldn't feel too badly aboitt their
defeat, as the Indians have been
winning right along from trained col-
lege teams and the idea of beating
them was scarcely entertained, but no
doubt it would have been more satis-
factory to the home team had the
score been somewhat more even, Fol-
lowing is the line-up of players
