We understand that Rev. L. N.
Wooley, M. E. pastor of the Union
church, will attend the M. E. con-
ference soon. We wish to remark
that the sentiment OF this commun-
ity is highly favorable towards the
clergyman. and that all would be
pleased if he was returned to this
circuit. Rev. Wooley is an able
and intelligent minister, a pleasing
talker and, most important of all, a
man We believe that it would be
impossible to secure more intelli-
gent, more popular or better minis
ter, and we hope to be able to
chronicle his return.
