spending part of the week in Jackson
Vile Mr.. Waybright, who has taug hl
one of the intermediate grades in the
public school during the past year in
addition to his duties as pastor of the
Baptist church, has decided that he will
not teach the coming year, and so mott
fled the school trustees at the close OF
the term. He will remain here as pas
tor of the church through the present
month, after which he and Mrs. Way
bright will leave for vacation in Ohio
and Michigan. Whether he returns TO
Crescent City as pastor of the church for
the coming year has not been settled,
but it is more than likely that the church
will make every possible effort TO Sc
cure his services. AS a pulpit orator

and the local church has more 10 hope
in the way of growth from his services
than from almost any pastor in the state.
Mr.. and Mrs. Waybright have made
friends with the people OF all denomina-
lions and under his ministrationS the
congregations at the Baptist church have
