determined that gambling should not be
conducted over the Palate saloon, and
that while he did not wish to interfere

pastors for the Methodist churches OF
Memphis were made by the late conference
ut Union City. The Rev. Warner Moore,

of the fernando Street church than any
one else could ever do-put a handsome
brick edifice in place of the old frame
building-has been transferred to Hum
boldt, where he will have a much larger
congregation. Mr.. Moore's departure is a
matter of considerable regret, not only to
his own congregation, to whom he has be-
come warmly attached, but to the Metho-
dists OF the city generally, who recognize
Mr.. Moore's sterling worth and his value
to any community. The pulpit he vacates
wi | be occupied by the Rev. David Leath,
a ~scotchman, who has been located at
Jackson for the past two years. The Rev.
DIR. Il. III. Mahon, of the Central, and Mr..
Steele, of the First church, remain. The
Rev. James A. Moody, of the Geor-
gia Street church, will go to New
bern an Trimble Station. j. p. Walker,
of the Satfarans Street church, has been
