FAREWELL RECEPTION
TO REV. ". N. WALTON


orable gathering on Monday night
April 18th. Not only were the prin-
cipal citizens Of the town of Summer
ton represented, almost without cx-
ceptlon, but cars came from all con-
tigious parts of the county. The oc-
casion was farewell reception and
banquet to the Rev. w. NJ. Walton,
rector Of the Episcopal Church, Sum-
merton, who left Tuesday for home
in Virginia. The reception was not
q church affair-not even inter de-
nominational in the usual sense. 1t
was stressed as community demon
stration.
The Rev. Walton resigned in Little
Rock, and came to Summerton about
five years ago on a pledge of three
years residence. Easter 1920, he re-
signed, but on protest of his people
reconsidered the resignation for one
year. He remained and built for
them church, small but one of the
most beautiful in the rural districts
of South Carolina. In 1921 he resign
ed again, but the protest of the Epis-
copal Church being respected, and re-
lnforced by the petition of prominent
members of other denominations in
the town Mr.. Walton remained anoth-
Ell year. He secured during this year
pipe organ remarkably pure in tone
and size which is now in use at the
church.
Rev. Walton has been especially ac-
tive among the boys of Summerton,
holding weekly meetings of the "Boy
Scouts" There is hardly child,
large or small, of this end of the
county who does not know the present
rector of the Episcopal Church.
The warm and hearty congratula-
tions of the community with scout
associations) must have been most
gratifying to this gentleman. He
carries with him q most grateful
memory of the appreciation Of our
people and hearty "God-spccd" in
his future work.
Resolutions rendered Scout Master,
Rev. w. NJ. Walton on leaving Sum
merton, S. c.:
The chief and most precious re-
sources of any nation is its children.
In the childhood of today we see the
people of tomorrow. Those who in
coming years will add lustre and bring
prestige to our glorious country.
The state does now to limited cX-
tent care for the welfare and educa-
tion Of it's youth This should more
and more be the aim Of government
