$4,000 Suit.

c. Aempton, pastor of the First Baptist

Miss Fellows who joined his church
recently, he went to her and said that
he thought Miss Holleran was not a fit

forth III the complaint, and says that he
has no fear for the final outcome of the
affair."

mons that he preached on the Seven
Sins of GAINESVILLE" in which he scored
