To Whom II May Concern.

There was n festival given some time
ago by tho members OF the Beverly
Hin church, witch we thought under
the plan. would be alright. But after
Friday we learned that there was some
dissatisfaction with the pastor and
some OF the members and il was
changed aud agreed that after the ex.
peuses were paid that the balance
would go towards paying the salary Of
the pastor. But through the malicious
faischoods among some Of tho people,
II created bad feeling, We want IL
understood that we got up this festival
IN the first place, expecting tn do what
we believed, TO be right. We never
went into anything OF this kind, say
ing that the money was intended for
the church or pastor and thou use IL
FOR something else. But the people,
we suppose. Thought from whit they
had heard, that we wanted TO stea, thu
money aud that they would not know
what became OF it We don't do
business in that way We try to let
our people know what our intentions
are, hoping that IL there is any mis-
take. you will please correct IL. We
never received money yet for these
festivals and used IL for something
else. II we were u, we would likely
let the people know IL before hand, go
they would understand IL. We want
tn do what is right along this line and
IL we have done anything in connec.
tion with these affairs that was wrong.
please do not hesitate TO let IL be
known. We are alway ready TO listen
to good advice and want to live and
have the good will OF every body, not
wanting TO take the advantage OF any
one Thanking all for their kind pat.
ronage, we remain,

AS though they want To do somctbing'
Oyer month ago they notified Rev.
G. W. Nestor, Of the u. r. Church,
that he could not preach in the church
