DR.. N. R. PITTMAN RESIGNS.
Former Mexico Pastor Gives up St
Joseph Church Owing to Mis-
understanding.

Dr. N. r. Pittman, for several years
pastor of the First Baptist church in
this city, has resigned the pastorate OF
the Savannah avenue Baptist church in
st. Joseph, to take effect in March.
The st. Joseph Fews says:
Because Miss Maysie Pittman, the
yiyacious daughter OF a minister, en-
joyed a pretty wedding in a big meet
ing house, the Savannah Avenue Bap-
tist church is said to be drifting
against rocks and breakers of discord
and will now be left without Its pres
emit pastors guiding hand.
Rev. N. r. Pittman, who during the
last year has been pastor OF the Savan-
nah Avenue church, rendered his res
ignation last Sunday night and the re-
signation was at once accepted by the
congregation to become effective in
| March.
MR.. PITTMAN REGRETFUL.
The pastor to-day expressed regret
that conditions had arisen which in
dicated that bis duty lay IN the direc-
tion of severing bis connection with
the Savannah Avenue congregation.
"When | came to the pastorate of
this church," said Mr.. Pittman to-day
my health was poor and | have not
been able to do as active work as the
field really demands | fancy that l
am more to blame for the dlssatis-
faction In the congregation than any
one else"
MIR. Plttman refused to discuss at
length the possibility Of the marriage
Of his daughter last October in the
First Baptist church as a chief cause
OF dissension in the congregation, but
said these dissensions had existed be-
fore.
MARRIED KANSAS CITY LAWYER.
Miss Maysie Pittman, a beautiful
young daughter OF Mr., and Mrs. Pitt
man, was married last October TO
Lawyer Pugh, Of Kansas City. The
young people hoped they wouldn't be
getting married any more and desired
to make the wedding a memorable
event. Mr.. Pittman's church was
small, the young woman said, and it
was arranged that the marriage should
be solemnized in the First Baptist
church, the handsomest ediice and
possibly the most ~commodlous In the
city. 1t vas filled on the occasion Of
the wedding. Members OF the home
church didn't,like it. They said things
back and forth and the preacher re-
signed.
LABoRED THERE TEN YEARS.
Mr.. Pittman has been a preacher
in st. Joseph for more than ten years
and was formerly pastor Of Patee Park
Baptist church. His plans for the fu-
ture are vague and indefinite although
1t is probable he will move to Green
wood, s. G and assume a more active
part in the editorial control of the
South Carolina Baptist Of which he
now is an associate editor. Mr.. Pitt
man was formerly associate editor of
the Central Baptist at st. Louis, edi-
tor Of the Baptist Advance of Little
Rock, Ark, and has been engaged In
secular newspaper enterprises.

The end came with the senator
fighting bravely and persistently
against dissolution. 1t came peace
fully and without pain, just as be
would have had it come. The signs OF
its coming were In the labored breath
Ing, and that peculiar and awful rat
ting as the respiratory organs slowly
end their functions and death makes
the frame Of the dying rigid. Death
came as a climax TO one of the sinking
spells, or spells Of unusual depression.
M. A. Hanna represented Ohio in
the u. s. Senate. He was "a years OF
age and was a Republican leader. His
home was In Cleveland. The Senator
was educated Ia the common schools
OF Cleveland and the Western Reserve
College, Hudson, Ohio Afterward
employed In wholesale grocery firm.
Became engaged In coal aud iron bust
ness. Later largely interested In rail-
ways and lake transportation com
panies. Elected chairman OF Republi-
can National Committee In 1896. APP
pointed TO senate by Gov. Bushnell,
March 8, 1897, reelected in 1898.
FOR A SUCCESSOR TO HANNA.
1t has been practically determined
that the Postmaster General, Mr..
Payne, Of Wisconsin, vice chairman
OF the national committee, shall carry
on the preliminary Republican cam
paign work until the asse ably of the

Letter to Mr.. W. o. Florence,
Merico, Missouri.

Dear Sir; Do you mix your own
paints yet? You can do better. Zinc
is hard to mix: requires machinery.
Mixing by hand is slow and unsatis-
factory work; and, in mixing lead and
zinc, you have nothing to go by; both
being white, when they are mixed.
Also, zinc should be ground into the
lead; not simply mixed in, but ground
In.
Buy Devoe Ready Paint. 1t is the
right proportion an thoroughly ground
In llnsced oil.
The colors are uniform, ready to
dip the brush in. Costs less and wears
twice as long as shop-mixed paint.
Yours truly,
