On July Rev. w. f. Watts rendered
his resignation as pastor of the SECOND
Baptist church of this city. The cause
given for dissatisfaction is their failure
| to pay off a 50 900 church debt and non
support Rev. Watts has pastored this
church about two years and two
months and since his stay has had
| marked success. We are told since he
took charge of this church 619 mem
bers have added and in every way has
the church prospered. Rev. Watts is a
faithful and hard worker and very
Jealous in the Christian work. and has
worked incessantly for the building ur
of the church in this city. 1t is to be
regretted that such misunderstanding
will come up between church and pas
tor and we hope that the matter will
be properly adjusted and that the good
work will still go on.
I The reception given week ago in
honor of the musical class was rare
treat and all present had a royal good
time
Rev. w. f. Watts is visiting in Cen
terville this week and viii remain over
