Dear readers of the Free Press,

As of the 17th of April I will be retiring and moving back to Georgia. My replacement is a fine young man from KY. Doug Newell is his name. I wish to thank you for your cooperation and friendship over the years as I conducted the Baptist Classroom.  I have so enjoyed this part of my ministry and I wish to thank all those of the Clay County Free Press, and my faithful readers for the great time of teaching and learning which we have shared over the years.  God bless you all.
John Pruitt
