Rev. E. S. Latsbaw died at his
father's home iu Curryville, Blair
county, Pa., August 20.
| Mr. Latsbaw was pastor of the
M* E. Church here thirteen years
ago. He was then in poor health.
Three years ago he bought a home
in Pine Bluff, N. C.. in hopes that
the rare air and balmy pines would
stay the progress of disease but
this hope was not realized.
He was brought North on the
Ist of July but he rapidly sank.
He is survived by his widow and
one son, Blair Latshaw.
The many friends of Rev. I. H.
Fisher, who was pastor of the La
porte Baptist Church three years
ago. will be pleased to learn that
011 June Ist, he finished his studies
at Cro/.ier Theological Seminary,
which institution he entered im
mediately after leaving this place.
He is now pastor of a large and
prosperous church at Cherryville,
N. J.
The entertainment given at the
new school house hall on Monday
evening was a splendid success in
every respect. The music, tableaux,
pantomimes, and readings were of a
high order of excellence and were
fully appreciated by an audiance
that completely tilled the hall.
Space prevents our making special
mention ot the individual perform
ers but all acquitted themselves most
creditably. The hall is admirably
adapted for entertainments of this
kind. Financially the entertain
ment exceeded all expectations, the
.receipts being over SOO. This will
pay the balance due on the piano
and leave enough to properly fix up
the stage, (hie pleasant feature of
the occasion was a gift of n-"> from
the National Protective Association
of Williamsport, with the compli
ments of J. Harry Spencer, General
manager. This gift is greatly
appreciated as is also _o ( ne of 8">.00
from a gentleman who declines to
reveal his identity. May he live
long and prosper.
On Sunday next Kev. W. If. Nor
cross will preach his farewell ser
mon in the M. E. Church at this
place. Itev. Norcross has resigned
as pastor of the churches on the Ea
gles Mere and Laporte chaige in or
der to accept the position of instruct
or at Dickenson Seminary, William
sport. Being a young man of ex
ceptional ability Mr. Norcross will
be a valuable addition to the al
ready efficient faculty at this insti
tution.
