Rev. ThOs. p. Hay, the greatly be-
loved pastor of the Presbyterian
church in this city has finally decid-
dd to accept the unanimous call re-
Gently extended him to become pas
tor of the church at Gainesville.
Mr.. Hay has had the call under
advisement for the past month
and during all this time it has been a
struggle with him TO determine just
what to do.
Over against the affection which
h. holds for the church here was the
opening for an opportunity of greater
usefulness at Gainesville. He has
fully decided that his duty lies i'll the
acceptance of the Gainesville call.
His decision was laid before the
elders and deacOns at Il conference
in the church on Wednesday night
According to Presbyterian usage it
remains with the Presbytery to dis
solve the PASTORAL relations of
minister.
Not alone the Presbyterians, but
the people of Palatka without regard
to denominational lines, will feel
deep regret at the decision of Mr..

us a result of her efforts the beauti-
full Junior Buck Range which this
company has been offering was her
property.

production in miniature of the best
kitchen range made by the cele-
brated Buck Stove and Range Com
pany of St. Louis. 1t is made of
nickel and has all the usual stove
furniture which accompanies the
larger make. 1t was Il valuable
present, and the little girl who Sc
cured it feels well repaid for the
hard skirmishing she did to secure
coupons from News subscribers
She had 40 coupons. Little Mar
garet Willard had I9S and Marie
Merryday had Al, while a host of
other little ones had lesser num-
Der.
