has been transferred to Oil City, Pa,
and will enter upon his new duties
November 1. For the present and
until DR.. Alexander gets a home, he
will leave his family in Smyrna, but
they, no doubt, will join him shortly,
owing to the distance and difficulty
for him to get home over week-ends. !

deeply regretted in the Clayton
Smyrna communities, where they
have made hosts of friends. The pro-
motion, however, is one DR.. Alexan-
der could not afford to turn aside and
he leaves with the best wishes of all
for abundant success.
