A CommendabIe Enterprise.

George Zoelle has purchased vacant
building site 20x50 feet in North
Second street, between Main and Madi-
~on streets, and will soon begin the
erection of a two story brick building
which will be fitted up in the latest
style and convenience for bathing pur.
poses. He believes that such an in
stitution will be well patronized in this
city if conducted in a manner to suit
the public. He states that besides the
regular baths given in place of that
kind he will add Turkish baths and
have competent assistent who has
had experience in that line. There is
but little doubt that such an institution
will be literally patronized. There
will be no barber shop connected with
it.

Regarding Rev. Bullock,

The Milwaukee journal of recent
date contained tho following:
Rev. A. u. Bullock, pastor of the
NJ. +. church in this city, was at outs
with his parishioners and that strenu-
Gus effort will be made to have him re-
moved at the M. E. conference which
convenes at Green Bay, Sept. 16. He
has been requested to resign upon
several occasions, but declares he will
not go. The charges against Mr.. Bull
lock are that he is inefficient as q
preacher; that he has no voice; that ha
cannot get more than thirty members
of his congregation together at the
church at one time; that he has not
succeeded in organizing choir; that
he cannot draw people to his prayer
meetings; that his congregation 10
steadily diminishing in size; that there
is debt of $400 and a mortgage hang
ing over the church and thai he has
done nothing to remove it. The Rev.
Mr.. Bullock is admittedly OF excellent
moral character, Ph. d.. and a man
of literary talent, but his parishioners
consider him sadly deficient in the
qualifications necessary to success

"A report printed in Milwaukee af.
ternoon paper that the Rev. DR.. A. III.
Bullock was at odds with the parishion-
ers in this city is shown to be incorrect

of the church on August s. The board
passed resolutions approving of Mr.
Bullock's pastorate in the strongest
terms, and expressing wish for his
return to the church for another ye3r.
The resolutions in part were: g
We, officials of the Watertown Meth
odlst church, would give expression 10
our appreciation of the faithful and
efficient services of our pastor. the Rev.
A. M. Bullock. who 10 closing his
fourth year with us as pastor. the long
est pastorate In the history OF the
church; therefore. be it resolved.
We appreciate and heartily commend
the financial and business like admin
istration of one pastor. The records
Of the church show that our financial
condition is the best it has been during
twenty-five years or more.
The church is much stronger and its
influences far greater and better than
when Mr.. Bullock began his pastorata.
The membership is larger than 1t has
been for more than thirty years, II not

We're we to consult our own interests
as church, alone. without regard to
his own interests and wishes, we should
ask his return the coming year.
These resolutions were4 signed by
every official member of the church. "ss
