call to the pastorate of the First
Presbyterian church at Murfrees-
boro, and will bid his flock here
farewell next Sunday. Rev. Garth
and wife have many warm friends
in Humboldt and vicinity who will
very much regret to learn of their
early departure. Mr. Garth is an
able and devoted minister, and it is
matter of general regret that we
are to lose him from our commune

faithfully worked for the past eight

appear after his arrival. It is we'll
known that he has been candidate
for some time for the marshalship
of West Tennessee, and conceded |
that his prospects have been very
flattering. Since the advent of Mr.
Roosevelt as President, Mr.. Taylor
has reason to believe that his
chances are yet very fine. AS a
