Mr., Williams to Leave Henderson.

In the assignments made by the
Methodist Protestant conference in
session at Winston last week, Rev. J.
S. Williams goes to High Point and
Rev. A. G. Dixon, pastor of the Rocky
Mount church, will take Mr.. Williams
place. There will be sincere regret
that Mr. Williams is to leave Hen
derson. During his six years stay in
Henderson he has made his impress
upon the community, and in the
homes of the sick and distressed es
pecialIy will he be missed.
While reGretting the loss of Mr..
Williams, the Henderson church is
fortunate in securing Mr.. Dixon as
his successor. He is a strong man
and a good preacher, and we do not
doubt that he will render himself
popular and useful in the community
and do effective work in the Master S
cause.
Rev. William Porter, who was for
merly on the Granville circuit, goes
to Rocky Mount as Mr.. Dixon's sue
ceSSOr.

DEATH OF CAPT. SHELL.
Well Known and Popular Man Who
Was Famous for His Punctuality
and Many Good Traits OF Character.

The many friends of Capt. Oliver P.
Shell, formerly of Warrenton, will re-
gret to learn OF his death. The fol-
lowing is taken from the WarrentOn
correspondent OF the News and OBJ
server, under date of the Dist:
Captain Oliver p Shell died at his home
III Dunn and his remains were brought
to Warrenton for burial. 4 large num-
Der OF his friends followed him to the
grave. The WarrentOn Railroad Com
pany put their train at the disposal Of
his family, and the people of the COM
munity WED with each other in honoring
his memory.
Captain Shell was a native Of Halifax
county. In his early childhood his father
died, and he and his mother were left to
fight the hard battles of life alone. After
few years his mother was united in
marriage to Rev. Thomas Wilcox, and a
little later Mr.. Shell accepted position
with a prominent business man in his
native county.
In the early part of the Civil War he
entered the Confederate army and faith
fully served his country as soldier until
the war closed He then settled in War
rentOn, where he remained until 1901.
In the thirty-five or more years that he
had charge of transportation between
Warrenton and Warren Plains he never
missed trip and never failed to make
connections
As a writer of verses, Captain Shell
had quite a reputation and without
doubt was imbued with the true poetic
spirit.
Captain Shells first wife was a Miss
Daniel, of Halifax, who only lived short
time, and died without issue. His second
was Miss Turnbull, of Warrenton, who,
together with their six children, three
sons and three daughters, survive him.
He lost one son during the war with
Spain.
A few years ago Captain Shell said to
one of our merchants, "Hereis the ground
of my hope, Romans 1919: That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe ip thine heart
that God hath raised him up from the
dead thou shalt be saved ,"
He was a good and true man in all the
relations of life
Capt. Shell was the father of Mr. 0.
p. Shell, of Henderson, He had many
friends here and elsewhere who are
grieved at his death.

Death of Miss Kate Allen.

The community was surprised and
panied yesterday morning to learn
of the death of Miss Kate Allen Few
persons outside the immediate family
and friends were aware of her sick
ness. She had not been we'll for some
time, but had been confined to her
room only about a week. Her illness
appeared to be slig ight, and at first she
did not think it necessary to have a
doctor. But as she appeared to get
worse a physician was called in and
then a trained nurse was secured.
However, despite all that could be
done she died at half past eleven
o'clock Tuesday night.
Miss Allen was the Oldest child and
only daughter of the late Samuel H.
and Mrs. Ella Reavis Allen, and was
about % years of age. She was a
young lady of lovely character and
amiable disposition, and was loved
and admired by all who knew her.
Possessing a natural aptitude and love
for art, she had studied at Cooper
Institute in New York and elsewhere,
and was singularly gifted. While in
New York little over two years ago
she contracted a deep cold which de-
veloped into pneumonia. From the
effects OF this she had never fully re-
covered, and having naturally del
icate constitution, this, complicated
with other troubles, hastened her end.
She had been having chills for some
weeks, but heart trouble was the i'm
mediate cause of DEATH
The funeral will be held from the
home at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The
interment will be at the cemetery.
To the grief-stricken mother, the
three brothers and Mr.. W. w. Reavis,
uncle of the deceased, who was greatly
attached to her, the hearts of the
whole community go out in fullest
sympathy.

Methodist Protestant Church:
Your committee appointed to express
the sense of this church in regard to the
severance of its present pastoral relation.
report:
The Itinerant system brought Rev.
James S. Williams to the Methodist
Protestants of Henderson. He has min
istered to us for six years. Nothing but
an abiding conviction of the wisdom of
that system inaugurated by the prophets
OF the old time, practiced by our blessed
Saviour and St. Paul. and approved by
the Judgment of the sages OF the church,
induces us to consent that he may now
Tor time go to other fields
He has been faithful and true to his
duties as minister Full of industry
and zeal in the work of the church. he
has seemed to us to be at all times the
very agent and messenger of God. who
seemed daily to appeal to our hearts and
consciences by his presence, as well as by
his words and deeds.
He has often borne lis heayenward on
the wings OF his prayers; he has inspired
us to nobler deeds and purer lives by his
precept and example; he has taught us
the JOY of giving and doing good as we
knew it not before; he has inspired many
and wicked sinners with reverence for
God and for things holy; he has been first
and foremost at the houses of affiiction
and sorrow; he has shown the reality of
religion and its usefulness in the every
day affairs of life to all sorts of conditions
OF people; in all things pertaining to his
high office he has ''Allured to brighter
worlds and led the way" All who have
been within his reach have been touched
by the benediction of his life and his
presence.
He has an abiding place certain and Sc
cure in the hsarts of the people of Hen
derson, and especially those of his own
church. We part with him with regret.
We congratulate that people to whom he
shall go.
In his daily communings with his
Heavenly Father we wish to be remem-
bercd. May the seeds of good he has
planted here grow and multiply. and
may God bless and prosper continually
