CALLED TO MAINE.
Rev. v. M. Hardy, d. d. Resigns as
Pastor Of Congregational Chnrch
AT Randolph.
Especial to TELEGRAM.)

Randolph, Aug. 14.-Rev. V. NJ.
Hardy for twenty two years and a
half the beloved pastor Of the First
Congregational church of this village,
has resigned and will probably accept
a call to the Congregational church in
the joint villages OF Foxcroft and
Dover, Maine.
His resignation came as complete
surprise to his people, and has caused
genuine sorrow both in the church
and among his wide circle of friends
throughout the town and state.
During his long pastorate Rev. DIR.
Hardy has unified and built up one OF
the largest and most influential Cong
regational churches in the state. Its
membership has been increased and
it's church edtice enlarged, remodeled
and greatly improved, and hand
some parsonage has been built. This
is but a brief outline of his work
here. He has taken prominent and
influential part in the state organiza-
tion and his removal from the state
will be a distinct loss, not only to the
Congregational church as a whole but
to the people of this town and state.
The field to which he is called is one
of the best in the interior and rapidly
developing section of Maine. The
church is located at the county seat
and he can make it exert a WIDE in
huence throughout that section O
that great state and render it a pow
er for good.
Foxcroft is about 40 miles north o
Bangor and is said to be a vesy beau
tiful village.
His reasons for making the chang
are briefly summarized as follows: If
change is to be made for the good o
both church and pastor this woul'
appear a favorable time to make it
that new leader and teacher woul
bring new life and greater growth t
this church, while in a new field hi
:ervces would be more effective.
If this decision was not linall
made thnrc is little doubt bnt tbs
the church would refuse to acceE
his resignation as he is UNIVERSAL
beloved by the entire parish.
lie will be away for the next fe'
: weeks and plans to go to his new tlel
of labor early this fall.

FOOTBALL GAME CALLED IN.
State Association Rules Threaten to Cripple

Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Chapel Hill, N. c., Sept. 29.-The match
game of foot ball between the University
and Guilford, advertised to come off to-
day, was called in Thursday.
1t looks as if the University would net
meet the schools and colleges composing
the State association on the foot ball
field this year. Not all of the State in
stitutions are in this league still. the
ruling is likely to prevent some of the
games which have hitherto been pleas
ant feature of the college year.
The rules of the State Association ore
more stringent in some respects than
those of the Southern Inter collegiate
Association, to which the University be-
longs. Thus a postgraduate is allowed
to play only one year; other students
cannot play more than four years, and
after June no student of law, medicine
or pharmacy, or other special student,
can play To abide by these rules would
cripple the University so as to make it
impossible for her to cofnpete with
Georgia, Vanderbilt, Virginia, etc, all of
which institutions are governed by the
rules of the Southern Inter collegiate AS
ISOLATION.
OF course, where the University is
forced to make its choice between the
schools of the State and the greater in
course for it to pursue, however much
it regrets not meeting the schools fur
Their in friendly and pleasant contests.
