Rev. W. S. Norton.

	W. S. Norton is twenty four years of age. He was born in Carroll 
county, Georgia, October 6, 1886, coming to Gwinnett county during the year 
1893, where he lived on the farm with his father until the fall of 1906.

	He felt the call of God to preach the gospel and realizing his need of 
a college education as a preparation for service in this great work, he went 
to Young Harris College from which institution he graduated in the spring of 
1910 with the degree of bachelor of arts.

	Beginning November 1, 1910, he taught school in Gwinnett county for 
six and one-half months, until he was appointed by the Presiding Elder of the 
Elberton District "pastor in charge" of the Lincolnton circuit where he 
resides at present. He has not been ordained, but was licensed to preach by 
the Gainesville District Conference at Winder, Ga., June , 1906, previous to 
his going to college in September. He goes to the annual conference to be held 
in Augusta next November from the Elberton district, recommended .for 
admission on trial. He has served only four churches, all of which are in 
Lincoln County and are: Lincolnton, Pine Grove, Bethany and Midway.
