Wilsop filled the Meth- odist pastorate in Gainesville last year, and was also chairman of the Advocate publishing board. Realiz- ing his fitness for the editorial chair, he was elected to this position at the last Conference and will fill the place in an admirable manner, being a gifted writer and one of the best men in the Conference for the re- sponsible position. The people of Lakeland cordially welcome this ex- cellent family and trust that their re- moval will prove a blessing both to! them and to the community. They are looking for several unfurnished rooms, as it is almost impossible at! this season to secure a house.
