Rev. C. d. HestwOod
j. Superintendent of
Dodge City Dist.
A. E. HENRY TO
LIBERAL DISTRICT
Rev. A. M. Wilkinson, Who Has Been
at Dodge City for Past Four Years,
Will Take Rev. Hestwood's
Place in Liberal.

The NJ. E. Conference just closed
at Pratt made many changes in the
pastors in this section, the one effect
ing Liberal most being the transfer
of Rev. C. D. Hestwood to the post
of District Superintendent of the
Dodge City District. This necessi-
tates the placing of new man at Lib
eral, and Rev. A. M. Wilkinson, who
for the past four years has been pas
tor of the M. E. Church at Dodge
City, was sent here.
Rev. Hestwood, during his ministry
here has made "a lot of friends who
regret to see him leave. Not only in
his own congregation but in all the
circles in which he has moved will he
be missed. He has filled place in
the life of Liberal that will be hard
to fill, and he carries with him to his
new home the kindest wishes of the
people Of Liberal, and the ministers
of the different churches, all of whom
are warm personal friends.
Rev. Wilkinson is in the city today
to be present at the closing services
of the great meeting. In his work at
Dodge City he has been most success
full, and comes with the best wishes
of lot of good people at that place.
He is good man to succeed Rev.
Hestwood and The Democrat predicts
for him a pleasant and successful stay
among us.
