y, Inc items which have appeared in the
w aldocounty correspondence of two lead
ing Name dallies to the effect that the Rev.
Geo. Morton had resigned in consequence of
dlssenslons among his people here are en-
ttlrely misleading in every particular Dur
ING the past year the church has been en-
tlrely rebuilt at a cost of nearly S3,OoO and
TINS has been done by the united effort of
the people here without regard to creed or
belief, and there have not been and are not
now any differences among them worthy of
the name. Mr.. Morton's sudden resigna-
ton is understood to be from personal
reasons and was received with surprise and
regret by the people here. AS an orator he
has lew equals in Maine, and as Brooks is
town where oratory has always been espec-
Tally admired he has drawn large and in
creaslng audiences. There is some prospect
that his resignation will be withdrawn and
that he may stay here for the remainder of
the year. at least.
