Tbe Baptist Church Dedicated.
The Roxboro Baptist church
was dedicated last Sunday morn
ing. Rev. G. T. Watkins, the
retiring pastor, preached the
sermon. He was assisted in the
service by Rev. J. A. Hornaday,
pastor of the Methodist church
here. Thti chei:-, under the
guidance of Mrs. 0. P. Schaab,
rendered some excellent music,
suitable to the occasion. Th
solo by Miss Pettigrew was
iieautifu'ly rendered, in fact
there are few who have a better
voice than Miss Pettigrew, and
the congregation always cnjv
her ringing.
At night the pastor preached
his farewell sermon, closing a!
pjstorate of more than six years,
and we venture to say that no
time during the six years hes
Mr. Watkins been held in higher
esteem than at the present time.
He is a good preacher and a hard
worker, and will be missed not
only by his church but by the
community. He leaves this
week for his new field and car
ries with him the best wishes of
the people of Roxboro, regardless
of denomination. His family
will not go until the fall. Rox
