cultivated favor with Davis pwile. Not
even here did he find ample room and
verge enough for hrs expansive capabllt'
tics. He cultivated the good will Of the
faircr portion of his flock generally until
it became the subject of'general remark.
The Rev. Treharne L. Treharnc, grew at
last sensible that he was drawing upon
himself unlavorable observation, Pres.

himself to tho upper waters Of the Ohio.
He located himself at Wheeling lie
