t., Times-Republican.

Special t., Times-Republican.
kellogg, Oct. 21.-Rev. S. P. Telford,
pastor of the Christian church, has
sent in his resignation, to take effect

winter in the west.
This is the second time he has been

fit his health While living in Illinois,
pulmonary trouble compelled him TO
go to Colorado, where he remained a
year, but his lungs improving, he re-
turned to take up work again in the
same pastorate. He has only been in
Kellogg one year, but has proved an
earnest conscientious pastor, and has
made many friends who regret the ne
cessity for his leaving.
