"When completed it-will be one of the most handsome, neat aDd conveniently arranged country churches I know of. Pastor G. W. Dukes in charge deserves much credit and commendation as well as his faithful congregation for the effort they are making in erecting this church. Well, Brother Traveler, you would like to know how you '11 catch the negro's cur, eh ? Well that will be an easy matter enough. The true tees in each school district knows every man in their district, they know pretty well, or should know, who has dogs and how many, and if they don't know they know a neighbor who lives near Sambo or Jimbo or any other Bo, for that matter, who knows whether the dog is Sam s, Jims or Dick's. As for the "mush pot" you speak of, Bro. Traveler, I would say that I never have liked mush, as I much prefer white maize grits ground on an old time water mill, one of which is near me, which are far more paltable and nutritious, which I can get without a long handle-gourd-equash even if I had one, or a shoit one either for that matter. The school at Athen's will run five weeks yet as I have been informed and close with interesting evercises at night. Prof Smith and bis assistant, Miss Estelle Harman, have given entire satisfaction and worked the school up to one hundred and twenty-five. This school has had the two mill extra tax added and now with the dog tax the school C3n run from eight to nine months giving a term equal to the town and cities. The school has been graded by Prof. Smith and students passing the 10th grade are fully prepared for the active duties of life or for a college training. Mrs. W. A. Goodwin and M. H. Fallaw are slowly improving. We will rejoice to see them out soon. The health of the happy Felix family was never better.

Whereas, at the regular meeting of the Joint Council of Bethel charge on, March 4, 1905, Rev. S. C. Ballentine handed in his resignation to take effect on March 31st, 1905; and whereas we deemed it proper to accept it, believing that he had given ii i _i it Ft T tne euDjeci tee prayeriui consiaeration that its importance demanded, and deeming it unwise to stand in the way of a change that Providence had ordered, therefore, Kesolved, 1. That it is with the deepest regret that we took the action alluded to. 2. That in severing our relations with our beloved pastor, we desire to bear testimony to his faithfulness and devotion in the discharge of his whol6 duty in the breaking of the bread of life, and preaching the pure gospel of Christ to the flock over which the Lord had made him shepherd. 3. That we ask th8 blessing of God to attend our brother and his family in his new field of labor, and tt 4U iU A nil A/ Ulft A/S ft a j buau tuo auutcu uuic ui uio usefullness may be extended far into tbe future and that his efforts to extend the kingdom of bur Master may be cowned with great success. Resolved further, That a copy of these resolutions be tendered Bro. Ballentine, and a copy be sent to the Lutheran Church Visitor and the Lexington Dispatch for publication. Ernest E. Wingard, J. C.
