The rumor got abroad Saturday that the Rev. W. W. FARIS, D.D., pastor of the Presbyterian church, was about to resign his charge and remove to California. The next day the rumor was confirmed by the pastor's own announcement to his congregation. He stated that he had agreed to serve its editor of The Occident, a religious paper published in San Francisco, and that it seemed necessary for him to leave for his new post of Feb. 2nd. The matter had been named to him in a general way last summer, and he had thought of making a trip west in February to look into it; but last week he was unexpectedly telegraphed for to meet the proprietor in St. Louis and arrangements were perfected at once. Dr. FARIS to become part owner, as well as editor. The Presbyterian congregation is to meet at the close of prayer meeting next Wednesday evening to take action, and the presbytery of Cairo is called to meet in Academy Hall the Friday following at 2 p.m., to receive the pastor's resignation. As is well known, Dr. FARIS is also senior principal of Union Academy. The board of directors of this institution meets at once on adjournment of presbytery, in the same place, in take action concerning the change. The academy work will go right on, the care of all classes having been arranged for. Dr. FARIS will continue a member, of the Board and (probably) of its Executive Committee for the present, and, also (for some weeks at least) will continue to edit The Talk. It is probable that he will return in March or April to conclude matters of public and private business, and remove his family to the Pacific coast. It is expected that along with his editorial work he will occupy the pulpit of a church in or near San Francisco.
