Looking About for Pastor.
Talk and discussion of a new pastor
for the First Presbyterian church of
Glover to succeed Rev. j. E. Berryhill
recently resigned is engaging the at
tention Of the congregation it is learn
ed. While no definite action has yet
been taken toward securing a successor
to Rev. Mr.. Berryhill the concensus Of
opinion among the congregation is that
they should not go long without a
pastor and it is very probable that
they will at least go so far as to call
a successor at an early date.
Societies Reorsanized. 3,
The two literary societies of Glover
High School-the Pressly and the Cali
houn have been re-organized for the
current school year and the officers
are now engaged in mapping out a
plan of literary activities. 1t is pro-
posed to hold three joint meets be-
tween the societies during the school
year and the first of these meets the
programme for which has not yet been
worked out is to be held on Novem-
ber 8.
To date the enrolment Of the Glover
school totals 400, which according to
Superintendent w. S. Reid is about so
increase over last year. Twenty-Five
pupils living outside of Glover school
district are attending school here this
year. There are eighteen pupils in
the eleventh grade as against twenty
two who were in the eleventh grade
last year. 1t is interesting to note
that eleven of the twenty-five gradu-
ates of the class of '22 ar now attend
ing higher institutions of learning.
Due to the crowded condition Of the
third and fourth grades it is probable
that an additional teacher will have to
be supplied although there will be no
such employment if it can be prevent
ed The school will be conducted eight
months this year.
