A Compliment to Rev. DR.. Phelps.

The Oroville Register of Sept. 6,
contains the following notice of the
Rev. j. W. Phelps the pastor of the
M. E. church here last year, but who
has been stationed at OroviIle the
past year:
At the the M. Il. quarterly confer
ence last evening an unusual but
pleasing proceeding took place. In
the NJ E. church the selection of
pastors is left to the annual confer
ence of the clergy. But last even
ing the congregation of the local M.
E. church extended call to Rev.
DR.. Phelps. During the session +.
II. Gray in making motion for a
call to DIR. Phelps, reviewed the work
of the pastor and the condition of
the church. The conference by ris-
ing vote unanimously supported the
motion of Mr.. Gray. During his stay
in Oroville, DR.. Phelps has become
very popular, not aloue with his con-
gregation, but with the citizens of
Oroville, Irrespective of religious be-
lief. He is a broad-minded man,
earnest in his work, and very able in
the pulpit. A ripe scholar and an
able speaker, DIR. Phelps is an orna-
ment to the town.
Both pastor and flock are to be con-
graduated on their extremely kind
relations. Outside of the church the
news that DR.. Phelps will remain in
Orovllle will be received with great
satisfaction. He is man of whom it
can be truly said that he has "malice
toward none and charity for all. y

The board of supervisors will meet
next Monday to fix the tax rate for
the current year. Although there is
drop in the state rate of four cents,
it is not like that there will be any
reduction in the total of state and
county levy. The county funds are
pretty we'll exhausted, and with
several heavy criminal cases ahead,
the prospect is more for increase
rather than decrease in the cost of
the local government. Unless the road
tax is cut down, which is hardly like
ly, the tax rate will no doubt reach,
if not pass, the high figures Of last
year.
