Many Estancia people who are
acquainted with Rev. E. P. ALL
dredge will be interested in the
following from the Portales
Herald:
Rev. E. P. Alldredge rendered
his resignation to the Baptist
church here Sunday and same
was accepted. Rev. Alldredge
has been taking care of a church
in Arkansas and after going
there it became necessary for
him to be placed under the care
of a doctor and he thinks it will
be best for him not to make a
change from his present doctor
and come back here. He is be-
yond a doubt the most able and
fluent minister and town booster
that has ever been in Portales.
His first introduction to Portales
came as the editor of the Herald
in 1908 and from then on he has
always been one of the men who
were for the advancement of
the town along all religious and
business lines.
