REV. Mr.. LEAvIrT's RESIGNATION
He VIII Become Pastor of All Souls
Church at Washington, u. C., Jan. L,
1897.

He VIII Become Pastor of All Souls
1897.
At the close of the morning service at
the Unitarian church last Sunday Rev. E.
Bradford Leavitt rendered his resignation
as pastor of the church in the following
letter which he read:
BRATTLEBoRo. VT, Dec G, 500.
To the Unitarian Congregational Society Of
Nearly three weeks ago l received 4 unanimous
invitation to become the pastor OF All Souls
church, Washington d. @ and within few DAYS
thereafter notiic alton that the First Parish in
Beverly, Mass, desired that should be its
minister.
After careful consideration, assisted by the
Judgments of the wise fathers In our denomina-
ton, have decided to accept the eau to Wash.
ington, ana therefore hereby tender you my resig-
nation as your pastor TO take effect after the last
Sunday in December My determination was
reached only after much wavering, and many
a DOUBT as 10 my ability to undertake and carry
out so important a work.
can hardly tell you how great has been my
happiness In these four years OF work among
you. nor how deep my regret at the thought OF
leaving you 1t is however, With the hope that the
friendships OF these years and sense of a com
mon purpose, will continue, as of old. IN the time
to come. that respectfully ask your acceptance
OF my resignation.
Most sincerely yours.
E BRADFORD LEAvITT.
A meeting of the society will be held in
due time TO take formal action upon the
resignation. Mr.. Leavitt was called to be
the pastor of the Brattleboro church in
April, 1898, before he had completed his
studies at the Harvard divinity, school and
was ordained and installed July 9, 1898.
1t is in high degree complimentary to
him that in the short space of only some
two or three weeks he received calls to
three important churches-those named
in his letter and that in Berkeley, Calf. In
his departure the Brattleboro community
will lose one Of the brightest and most
promising young men who has ever filed
one of its pulpits, 1t is very prominent
as well as a very important field TO which
he goes at the National capita, and both Mr..
Leayitt and the people Of All Souls church
will have abundant good wishes for the
success Of his work there.

BRATTLEBoRo VICTORIOUS.
The ". NJ. c. A. Basket Ball Team Won
from Heene Friday is TO IL.

The heavy and experienced basket ball
team of the Keene Y. NJ. c. A. was beat
en- Is to IL in the gymnasium at Keene
Friday night by the lighter and more agile
association team of Brattleboro. Keene
started the game by fast, rough playing
and secured the first two baskets. The
Brattleboro boys then let out their reserve
force and during the remainder of the
half put up one Of the snappiest games
ever seen in Keene. The shooting for bas-
kets was very accurate and at the end of
the half the score stood Is to q in Brattle-
boro's favor. The Brattleboro players
continued their fast playing in the last half
until they had the game well in hand, and
then took things easily, Keene scoring the
last two or three baskets. Dunlevy made
three goals from field, Howe two, Daniels
two and Cundiff one. Brattleboro had
only two throws after fouls were called
and each time Dunlevy deposited the ball
in the basket. Brattleboro was at disad-
vantage in one respect, the game being
played in a space so feet square in
stead of field of regulation size like the
one in the Brattleboro armory.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In one hundred and fifty Congress
sional districts, there will be nominated
as many Democrats for Congress who
will vote every time against the I'M
limited coinage of silver 16 to 1 or any
other ratio. The leaders of the Demo
cratic party invite the silver Demo
Gratis and Popnlists in these districts to
vote for the goldbugs and help elect q
Congress that will defeat free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver. This is the
dish set before the Populi8ts and silver
Republicans, and they are invited to
partake freely.
Reader, now do you like the goldbug
pill with a silver coating7 Tnank God
the coating is so transparent that the
deception is apparent, and none a be
deceived. Nominate a Populist Presi-
dent straight and in every Congress
sional district there will be a nominee
for Congress who will advocate free
and unlimited coinage of silver on the
stump and vote for it in Congress as
we'll as that other greater reform, thus
furnishing the money direct to the peo-
pie at cost, enabling them to transact
their business on a cash basis, saving
them four thousand million dollars an
nually. Never in the history of parties
was there cOncocted such a d~Rstartly
scheme to disorgRnize the only party
that is in earnest in its advocacy Of re-
form, If the Democratic party was
honest in the advocacy Of the remone-
tizing of silver, they would nominate a
candidate in every district advocating
this necessary reform.
When the announcement Of the
nomination of Bryan on a silver plat
form was received, the Democrats were
iubilant and claimed the endorsement
of all the Populists and silver r ,publi-
cans.
Since we have pricked the bubble and
exposed the inconsistency and hypoc-
racy of the thing they are not so san
guine. We will expose the incousis-
tel cy of this move, and you may ex-
pect good news from the Ninth Con
gr~essional district of North Carolina.

ALLIANCE EXPERIMENT STA

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
METHOD, N. G.
Seeing a communication in The Pro

rector of the Experiment Station, con
corning the Alliance in North Carolina.
and requesting to hear from individual
Alliancemen, l thought I would ex-
press my opinion though THE PROGRESS
SIvE FARMER also.
DR.. Battle seems to want to encOur-
age the farmers and Alliancemen to
come IN close contact with the Station
and to know more of its workings, and
to get the benefit that they ought to
get from it, but don't know how to
reach them. l can tell him. l think
he ought to go among them more. How

ers and get acquainted with them.
know that some of the farmers have
got a mighty poor opinion of doctors
and professors, but they are o all IN.
I know of some who would be glad to
have DR.. Battle or any of the professors
connected with the Station to visit their
! little farms and tell or show them

something about farming that would
be of benefit to them, and help them to
make their farms more attractive and
enable them to cultivate their land in
a better manner, making more to the
acre. thus giving them more time for
bidding, as we call it, helping our
wives to clean up about the yard ard
setting out flowers, fruit trees and such
like. Some of US have not got time to
make a respectable garden. We just
plow it; u wives and children have
the balance Of the work to do, or it goes
undone.
I presume that DR.. Battle and all the
professors in connection with the Sta
ton are Alliancemen? If they are not,
they ought to be. Anything that con-
Germs the farmers as much as the Elk
pertinent Station does, and If 1t does
the farmers as much good as it ought
to. the officers of it mustcOmo in close
contact with the farmers, and there Is
no better way, to my thinking, than
for the officers to join the farmers or
g8n'Z8tiOn.
DR.. Battle wants the names of ALI
ancemen so that he can send them such
bulletins as are issued by b Station.
There has been names sem IN Dy the
Alliance lecturers, and not many of
them ever received more than one bull
letin, some of them not one; but I
reckon some u else is to blame Tor
that, not Dr.. Battle, as l don't suppose
he has anything to do with mailing
bulletins. But who is to blame2
Hoping these remarks may not seem
harsh to DR.. Battle or any of his assist
ants, I remain a we'll wisher to the Sta
ton and all Of it's workings and work
