Rev. w. S. Walters, pastor at Pis-

who joined during the protracted
meeting. He rendered his resignation
as pastor Of the church to take effect
at the close of the year. An effort
will be made to form a pastorate and
settle man in the midst
of the churches. The ministers
of the neighboring churches live
long ways off, and it is not always
convenient to get them when needed
to bury the dead, consequently local
preachers have to be called on to per-
