A syndicate is being formed here to buy
from the Improvement Company large
number of choice and availably located lots,
the proceeds of which purchase will go to
lift the Gather lien of $4,000 and leave the
property So purchased entirely free from
incumbrance, and guarantee aperfectly clear
title. six or eight thousand dollars has al
ready been subscribed, and the remainder
will be easily raised. This is a very wise
movement and means great deal for Charles
Town. This deal when consummated will
practically leave the land owned by the
company free from incumbrance, and when
the revival of business does come, Charles
Town will begin a vigorous and healthy
growth which nothing can stop. Surround
ed by such magnificent country, together
with our railroad facilities, the town has a
future in development which will surprise

only voice the sentiment Of his own cOngre-

counsel of God" in the pulpit, as we'll as his
unwearied miuistrations to his people and
his earnest efforts to save souls have endear-
ed him 10 all while his vigorous and sue
cessful labors ia experimenting the erection
of the beautiful, commOdious and comtorta-
Die church building, have rendered inyalu-
able service no, only to the members, but to
the whole town. We sincerely hope that
wherever the council Of the conference may
see fit to appoint him, he may be equally
successful in his work, aud be always fol-
lowed as now by the blessing of the people
ne has served.
