Rev. G. G. Mayes, Of Greenville,
was among friends In Walhalla for
short while Monday and Tuesday
Some years ago Rev. Mr.. Mayes was
pastor Of the Walhalla Presbyterian
church, and during his residence
here made many friends, who were
delighted to meet him again. He
was here on Presbyterial business.
This was his first visit to Walhalla
in quite a number Of years. At a
recent meeting at Richland the
church at that place was grouped
with Oakway and Fair Play, and it
is quite probable that q pastor will
be called at an early date to serve
the three churches.
