The retiracy OF Rev. DR. d. L. But
tolph from the pastorship of the Presbyte-
rian Church, few weeks ago, owing to i'm
paired health, will necessitate his giving up
the Presbyterian Parsonage, which he has
occupied so long This struck tender
chord in the hearts of his old flock and their
undying love for their pastor asserted itself
at this crisis in very tangible form by
devsing ways and means to provide a
home for him and family. DR.. T. s. Stew
art, with his usual Christian benevolence
and kindness OF heart, donated beautiful
| shady lot on kennesaw Avenue, adjoining
his residence, and gave 5000 besides, while
other generous members swelled the sum by
their contributions to eleven hundred dol
lars, and the result is when 5000 more is
supplied, DR.. Buttolph will BE- presented
with an elegant $1,000 residence. The con-
tract has been let to Messrs. L. Black a.
Son and they will begin building as soon as
suitable weather will warrant. Such acts
of Christian love and bepeyoen9e on the
part Of Ihe members Of the Presbyterian
Church, have the ring OF pure gold, and
shows forth, in letters of living light, the
spirit of Him. who, when He was On earth,
vent about doing good.

young UNI for a tact. Marietta, however,
has young man for Mayor, but he has
been a voter longer than one year As this
is leap year, it is more than probable that
be will be chosen By some glrl fora hus-
band, and then he will become an "old
man"
