ROSEMARY BAPTISTS
CALL PASTOR
Rev. B. E. O'Bern, Of Elizabeth
City, has been Called by
Congregation

The Rosemary Baptist Church
has been so well pleased with
Rev. B. E. O'Bern, who has been
holding revival services there
for the past week or two, that
they have decided to call him
there as regular pastor. Mr..
O'Bern is from Elizabeth City,
N. C. He is an unusually brilli-
ant and forceful preacher and
the Baptist Church is to be con-
graduated upon his acceptance,
which we understand covers a
period of two months, with the
possibility of his accepting, at
the end of this time, permanent
charge of the Baptist church
work.

The Board of Commissioners of

Friday, April 8, voted unanim-

thousand dollars to the Patriots
Memorial school. The appropri-
alton is made on the following
conditions: that an act shall be
passed by the next General AS
sembly authorizing the Board to
make this appropriation and that
the said school shall be located
in Halifax County.
As the legislature has already
passed an act appropriating
$3500. 90 to this school from the
State Treasury, provided it is
decided to locate this school in
Halifax, it is practically certain
thai the required legislative
enactment will be forthcoming.

in a vain search for 7c. pair of
