Local Correspondence.

While speaking of the near approach ofthe
annual church conferences and the chances
of Revs. Orcm and Daugherty being returned
to continue their work here, an aged, pious
and persistent churchman had this to say
"For more than fifty years l have been
closely associated with church people and
actively engaged in church work In this
community and never before have known
of such spirit of unity, cooperation and
brolhcrly love to exist among the ministers
of our various churches as prevails at the
present time l shall therefore be very sorry
II Bros Daughcrty and Orem are not sent
back to US, fearing, as do, that the good
work being accomplished by our Ministerial
Association, as it now exists may receive
setback. Furthermore, the congregations OF
our different churches are well pleased with
their pastors ard would vote almost unani
mOusly for their return"

The unrcs sryed sentiment of the people of
this community is that the brei illness death
at comparatively middle age, and burial OF
our frugal, progressive and highly esteemed
townsman, Van B Oslcr, is certainly by far
the satdcst occurrence of the past week, and
one among the really deplorable misfortunes
which has heretofore befallen our town and
