One Fifth of a Century,

On Sunday last, DR. Geo. r. Gear
completed his twentieth year as pastor
of the Baptist church of this city. 1t
has been understood that DR.. Gear in
tended to offer his resignation at this
time, as it was reported some months
ago that he had rendered his resigna-
tfon to take effect May first How
ever that was, he preached his farewell
sermon Sunday morning to a very ap-
preciative audience, and in which the
chief events of mis- service with the
congregation were gone over and the
success of the church pointed out.
At the close of the service he an
nounced his formal resignation TO take
effect June >3Obh next. What the Doc
tors intentions are has not been made
pubic. He is certainly equal to many
years of service in church work yet
and will no doubt be found closely af-
fillated with it,
He has been in Marietta for a long
time and before he took up the minis
try he was connected with the educa-
tlonal interests OF the city and never
lost his interest in them. His work
has been careful and conscientious, al
ways striving for the right in all
things.

clpals a Parkersburg young business
man and a Kentucky young lady, who
will come 70 this city today to be mar
ried in the parlors of the Bellevue ho-
tel at nigh noon by the Rev. J. A.

Mr.. Charles A. Dickson is the happy
man, and is keeper of the Model hotel

came impatient, and going to Wheeling
where rae young lady's travels had
taken her, he in.luc5d her to resign

The affair is Quite an interesting one
from the point of romance at cast, and

man in Parkersburg and Miss Norman
one of the most popular young ladies'
of the firm for whom she worked, it
will cause no little furry of excitement
