Owing to his health .as well as his companion's, they will go to the Pacific coast and spend the winter and posibLy make that their future home. Rev. A. T. Mosher is the new appointee for this charge, to supercede Rev. Noland. He is a man of family, having two children. He comes well recommended and the Pilot hopes the family may prove as pop ular with the populace at large as the ones going from our midst. ~ Mrs. George Brown who has been, a patient sufferer for some months with consumption, passed to that borne from which none ere return, at her home north of Mt. Ayr, Monday night. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community in this their hour of affliction. Rev. Noland has been promoted as well as transferred to another conference and stationed at Rolling Prairie. He passed a successful examination and received the parchment designating him as a full fledged Methodist preacher, also promoting him to the $l5O salary class. Rolling Prairie is a town

situated on the Lake Shore railroad northeast of Laporte, population in the neighborhood of 500. There are many outside as well as in the church thfct preferred to see the reverend and his estimable family remain in our midst another year, but as it is otherwise, the best wishes of their many friends go with them. In their removal the Pilot loses an aide, honest consciencious helper and I hope he may reach the top rung of whatever vocation he may choose, whenever his school days are passed.
