AskingRe1ease
From Ashe Work
Will Begin Duties at Execu-
tive Secretary in Char
lotte On April LIST.

Sunday two Presbyterian con-
eregations have been called by
their respective sessions to meet
to concur in the request of their
pastor that the pastoral relation
ship existing between them and
Rev. R. H. Stone be dissolved.
The Obids Presbyterian congrega-
ton will meet at 1000 A. M. and
the jefferson congregation will
meet after the morning worship
which begins at HOO A. M.
! The Presbytery Of Winston-Sa-
lem will meet in the First Pres
byterian church at 11:00 A. M. on
March 31st and at this time Mr..
Stone will ask that the relation
ship be dissolved and at this
: meeting the representatives of the
two congregations will make the
report of the actions of their
members.
Mr.. Stone will then ask that he
be given his dismissal to become
, member of the Presbytery of
Mecklenburg, where he begins
his duties on April 1st as Execu-
tive Secretary with an office in
Charlotte. The office will be in
the Presbyterian Standard Build
ing.
The Jefferson church is more
than forty years old and though
it had been served by a number
of ministers the present pastor is
the only one that was called an
installed. Others served as tempo
rary supplies or stated supplies.
He was ordained in the church in
July 1923 and has served it ever
since.
The Obids church was organ
lied in 1904 and was served by
supplies until Mr.. Stone was
called in 1923. Since then Revs.
J. w. Luke and D. F. Helm have
been pastors and with the ac-
ceptance of other work by Mr..
Helm the present pastor was re-
called.
AS yet a successor has not been
secured. An effort is being made
to get the pulpits supplied at an
early date.
The announcement of Mr..
Stones appointment and accept
ance of his work in Charlotte was
made last fall. His many friends
regret the fact that he is leaving
Ashe county where he has sue
cessfully carried on the work of
his church for many years.

Hospital Rooms
All Furnished;
Need Equipment
BY Rev. r. III. Stone

Mrs. r. Lester Jones and Ber-
nard Jones wrote that the estate
of the late DR.. T. Lester Jones
would give three hospital beds,
mattresses and tables from the
Jones Memorial Infirmary as a
memorial to the late DR.. Thomas
J. Jones and DR.. T. Lester Jones.
r. r. Badger went for this furni-
ture on Tuesday and it is now in
the hospital This will be used in
furnishing a ward. ---
All of the private rooms have
been taken and now the several
wards are in process of being fur
nished. The proposed memorial
for DR.. Manly Blevins will be a
ward.
This week some of the electric
fixtures are being put in the
rooms.
A number have responded to
the appeal to pay their pledges. 1t
is hoped that others will pay
theirs at once, since it is impor-
tant that other equipment be pur-
chased before the hospital can be
opened.
