CAMERON DOES NOT RETURN.
He has been chosen as Elder for the
Parkersburg District-Rey. Leach of
Kansas Succeeds Him.

Mrs. Cameron has returned from
Warrington where she had been IN
attendance on the meeting of the
conference for several days. She
brought the first official news that
Rev. Cameron would not be returned
to take charge Of the church here
Instead of that he has much more
desirable place having been made
elder of the Parkersburg district.
The plans of the family in conse-
quence are somewhat unsettled but
perhaps they will remain in Nor
gantown this winter.
We are very sorry to lose Rev.
Cameron from the town and the po-
sition which he has held but con
graduate him on the advance that
has come TO him. The new position
will be occupied for six years and a
handsome increase in salary will at
tend its ineumbency.
Rev. Leach, of Wichita, Kansas,
has been assigned to Morgantown
and he will come here shortly to as
sumo his duties. He is an elderly
man about sixty years of age and a
very successful preacher. We hope
that he will find Morgantown a con
genial place and we will do all we
can to make him feel at home.
