Rev. w. X. Lane, who but recently re
signed the pastorate of the First Bap
tst church of this village, has purchased
an interest in the Lawton Leader ant
expects to move to that village in thu
near future. The labors of Rev. Mr.. Ian
have resulted in much good to tn
church and the community and many
friends regret his removal from our midst
But, speaking for the newspaper frater
