Monday afternoon when it was
learned that the conference of the
NJ. f. Church, South, in session in
Kansas City had returned Rev.
E. X. Wolfe to the Butler church
for another year, the members of
his congregation thought that it
would be a fine thing to show
the esteem in which they held him
and their qualification at his be-
ing sent to Butler for another
year by going in body to the
depot and meeting the 8 o'clock
train on which he was supposed
to return. They went to the de-
pot prepared to welcome home a
popular preacher. The train
came in, but no Rev. Wolfe.
Thinking that perhaps they had
in some way missed him they all
marched down town to the par
Sonage. where Mrs. Wolfe in
formed them that he had not ar
rived. The members of the con-
gregation dispersed to their vari-
Gus homes knowing that Rev.
Wolfe would appreciate tire spirit
that prompted the home coming
welcome when he learned of it.
