Railroad Man Becomes Minister.
Rogers, Jan. 29. Much inter
est has been aroused in North
west Arkansas by the announce-!
ment that George W. West has i
decided to enter the ministry of
the Baptist Church and will di
vide his time between the
churches at Leslie and Marshall,
in Searcy county, on the exten-:
sion of the St. Louis & North
j Arkansas Railroad.
For many years Mr. West was
general manager and passenger
agent of the Eureka Springs j
Railroad, a position that made
him one of the best-known men
in this section.
Later he left the railroad and
for several years has been en
gaged in the real estate business,
also acting as a general agent in
this section for the New York
! Life.
Mr. West is not an ordained
i minister, but for many years he
i has been an active church work-1
er at Eureka Springs and is
known as one of the most able
Bible students of the city.
