Prof. W. F. Scott will not be identi

dictatorship of the joint school move

Mr.. Scott will not occupy an.
chair or professorship in this big
school movement for higher educa

promoter in the work.
Not only is it regretted that he
leaves the school, but as resident
of eight years, he and his wife have
greatly endeared themselves to every
one here, not only the town, but the
circle of love and friendship has a
wide circumference. Wherever they
may go, kind thoughts and good
wishes will follow them, which
spring from hearts that will ever
hold them in loving remembrance,
the hearts of friends, Of patrons and
children.
The beautiful ordinance of bap-
-tism was administered on last We'd
nesday evening in the Baptist church
to "a candidates, who recently joined
the church here at the revival SER

of the church were opened and there
were four more additions, and others
are expected to join. The Lords Sup
per was observed, following the ser
mon, and for the first time in the his
tory of the church, there was not suf-
ficient of the individual service that
all might partake.
The pastor stated that this should
be the case. It was beautiful sight
{ to see so many here, that there
should not besen1igh but their de-
sse to partic isa siit non
Service was just ali acceptable to the
Master.

states, primarily for the home OF
widows and children of the veterans,

became a school.
