 Commended by Friend To the State Herald . .tr - B I note with plea that my good friend and brother, Rev. T. R. Larimore, of this county. is preaching at the Chris tian church in your city this week. Your people never had an opportunity to hear a more earnest or consecrated man than he. I am>not a member of his church, but in the above estimate of him and his worth I voice the sentiments of his neighbors without regard to church af- filiations. MT. Larimore is not only a good man; he Is a very strong man as well. He is close reasoner. Your cit izens of all denominations will do well to hear him. P
