1t is with deep regret that we an
nounce that our pastor the Rev.
Eugene +. Hunt, has resigned and
that he has fixed upon July first as the
date for the resignation to become
effective.
Mr.. Hunt came here Oct. 1st, 1912,
and entered upon his work at once.
In short time he made himself con
versant with the needs of the church
and the community, and became per-
sona'ly acquainted with every resi-
dent-member of the church.
Early in 1913 he called the members
together and submitted well consider.
ed plans for remodeling the church
building and enlargng the capacity
and accommodations for church and
Sunday school and also for raising
the necessary funds. His plans were
adopted and nuder his leadership the
and paid for. The building was great
ly improved by these changes and we
appreciate them more and more every
month.
The expense Of $l,S00.00 was met
in addition to the regular expenses
with an ease that surprised all who
had not come to fully realize the pow
er Of the steady enthusiasm, the UNI
selfish devotion, the untiring energy,
the intelligent leadership and the lib
eral donations Of our new pastor.
From the date of the dedication OF
the remodeled building all branches Of
the church work seemed to take on
renewed spiritual life and progress
with greater activity.
The Sunday school attendance in
creased; the junior congregation be-
came an important factor in the
services; the attendance at
both morning and evening service
steadily grew in numbers.
The church membership has been
largely augmented. One hundred have
become members during the pastorate
of Rev. Mr.. Hunt,
During the pastorate Of the Rev.
Mr. Hunt, the Nonpareil Bible Class

LEO VI. FRANK is
SAVED FROM GALL0WS


Governor Of Georgia Commutes Death
Sentence TO Life Imprisonment in
Defiance TO Fierce Local Sentiment.
Atlanta, Ga, June 2l--Leo. M.
Frank was spared from the gallows
when his death sentence was commut-
ed to life Imprisonment to-day by Gov.
Slaton. The governors decision was
not announced until several hours
after Frank had been secretly taken
from the Jail here and hurried to the
state prison farm at Milledgeville.
Frank was sentenced to be hanged
here tomorrow for the murder of
Mary Phsgan at the National Pencil
factory in April, 1918.
Gov. Slaton was at his country home
when he announced his decision. In
making the announcement the gov
enor dictated the following brief state
ment;
"All that | ask is that the people of
Georgia read my statement of the
reasons why commuted Leo M.
Franks death sentence to life impris-
onment, before they pass judgment.
Feeling as ! do about this case |
would be a murderer if | allowed this
man to hang. 1t means that | must
live in obscurity the rest Of my days,
but | would rather be plowing in
field than to feel for the rest of my
life that | had that mans blood on my
hands"
Gov. Slaton was completing a long
statement giving his reasons for his
action and this, he said would be
made public later.
With early reports that Franks
sentence had been commuted crowds
began to circulate on the principal
down town street corners, speakers
started to harangue the crowd from
the city hall steps, but were stopped
by an extra force of policemen.
Nearby Saloons are Closed
The crowds on the streets discussing
the Frank case became more calm as
the day passed on, but the police or
dered all nearby saloons closed
shortly before II o'clock and an extra
100 policemen were put on duty. Or
ders were issued to arrest any one
attempting to incite a riot.
The first official announcement of
the governors decision was made at
5.42 o'clock this morning.
In his statement exhaustively exai
planning his reasons for committing
Franks sentence, Gov. Slaton review
ed the circumstances surrounding the
murder of Mary Phagan here on April
26, 1913, the conviction of Frank and
his appeal for clemency.
Continuing the statement reads:
"The murder was d most henious
one anu Itle OlleilutI dtSeINcS tlG pun
of death. The only question
is as to the identity of the criminal"
The statement refers to the intense
feeling aroused by the crime.
The governor then referred to Geor-
yia's laws relating to change of venue,
declaring these provisions most broad
n behalf of the defendant to insure
air trial. Frank, he said, went to
rial without asking change of
,enue and submitted his case to jury
hat was acceptable to him. The
statement adds:
"The jury found the defendant gull
y and with the exception of the dem
outside the court room
here was no disorder Nothing was
lone which the courts could correct
through legal machinery"
He then reviewed the evidence.
