Rev. J. s. Rhodes of Huntsville
Wash, presiding elder of the United
Brethren church in that district. was
here Wednesday representing the Hunts.
VILE seminary. He came to offer Rev.
II. Y. Shaffer the presidency of that
institution. Although the offer was a
tempting one, still Mr. Shaffer declined
accepting it in the interest of the work
at this place. The call came as much
to Mrs. Shaffer as to her husband, and
the combined salary offered was $l20O.
The church people at this place, as we'll
as many others,are very grateful to them
for the course they have taken in this
matter. Mr.. Shaffer has received two
calls within the last ten days to churches
In the East. Some people do not need
to hunt for position.
The volunteers who put in work on
the state road last week under the charge
OF Supervisor Warren Miller, did good
job. The rocks in the roadway from
Paradise farm to the top of HAYNES hill
were nearly all blasted out. Elevations
were graded off and low places turnpiked
and graveled. Merchants of the town
freely contributed to purchase the pow
der, and those who did the work as near
as we can learn are as follows: Thos
Calkins, ]. L. Gordon, Nell Foley, Abe
Foley, d. N. Byerlee, NJ. Lauffenberger,
9. s. Wheeler, r. NJ. Hunt, Walter
Hull, B. Warren, E. D. Calkins, L. II.
Blagg. Others stand ready to volunteer
their services for further work towards
improving this piece of road. Several of
our business men donated from one to
five days work.
