  Rev.

   H. 
  Dalton 
  was 
  then 
  called 
  and 
  officiated 
  as 
  pastor 
  for 
  two 
  

   years. 
  The 
  Rev. 
  Jas.

  the 
  fall

  when 
  he 
  resigned, 
  and 
  the 
  present 
  pastor, 
  

   Rev. 
  H.

  was 
  called 
  to 
  the 
  pastorate 
  in

  seventy-five 
  names 
  

   of 
  members, 
  with 
  a 
  steady 
  increase. 
  In

  the 
  congre- 
  

   gation 
  erected 
  a 
  neat 
  and 
  comfortable 
  mause 
  on 
  the 
  lot 
  next

  church, 
  which 
  was 
  occupied 
  in 
  October 
  of 
  that 
  3'ear. 
  

   The 
  church 
  and 
  mause 
  are 
  located 
  on 
  Main 
  street, 
  below 
  

   Church 
  street. 
  

  

  In 
  April, 
  1884, 
  the 
  Presbyterian 
  Synod 
  of 
  North 
  Carolina 
  

   convened 
  in 
  this 
  church, 
  whose 
  sessions 
  proved 
  pleasant 
  and 
  

   instructive, 
  not 
  onl}' 
  to 
  the 
  members 
  of 
  that 
  church, 
  but 
  also 
  

   to 
  our 
  citizens 
  generally, 
  whose 
  hospitable 
  doors 
  were 
  thrown 
  

   wide 
  open 
  to 
  the 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  Synod. 
  The 
  pastor 
  is 
  an 
  

   able 
  and 
  earnest 
  worker, 
  watching 
  faithfully 
  over 
  his 
  pious 
  

   and 
  devoted 
  fiock.
