welcome from all our people.

any teachers in Watauga who
deserve an outing, these are a
mong the number and we feel
sure that the patrous of the
school are glad they got it.
The people here are delight
ed to know that the Western
North Carolina Conference has
returned the Rev. D. P. Waters

He has served this charge for
the past three years, and we
do hope that this one, may be
the best for him and the charge,
and that the people will decide
from the beginning to pay bis
salary and pay it promptly each
month, as the preacher has to
have a living at the beginning of
the Conference year as well as at
the close. Yes, we are all glad
that Brother Waters has been
returned.
