The health of the community
is excellent, the dqAtors say.
There is very little Pneumonia
this season. In fact, pneumonia
is generally of a very mild for M
in this section. This is a great
country anyhow. But like many
other good things, we do not
stop to appreciate them.

soundly evidenced than by the
beautifying aud improving of

Rev. P. w. Russell, the colored
Presbyterian pastor of this city,
who has held that charge for seven
years, and enjoys the esteem of
all who know him to degree that
only the conscientious discharge
of duty could secure, has resigned
his p~astorate to accept a position
in the faculty of Biddle Univer-
sity, at Charlotte, N. G. He left

walk SO circumspectly among
them for seven years as did the
Rev. Russell.
