 Mr. Mangum is Moved. I Aside from thoss appointments which anect the Methodist pastors or Mont ment made by the Bishop at the recent | Conference in Enterprise, at least from . Montgomery point of view, was the transterence of Rev. J. T. Mangum from Tsllassee to Enterprise. !. MT. Mangum has spent fohr years in 1'allassee. There his congregation twas | not-aerge, and his pastoral duties were therefore not so numerous nor so arr duous as they are in charges of great | CT population. The opportunities which Mir, Mansum had for study and re- l seerch he utilized to the best advan- ber of his Congregation his personal l friend, he made himself one of the abiesr young preachers in the State. Those who know Mir. Mangum are 1 has won in spite of his few years of | existence-for Mir. Mangum is yet a | young man. His first work was for a newspaper and it was so good that | should give it up even for the nobler | service Since his ordination his prog ress has been steady but not slow.

D., notable figure l in the Methodist Church of the South, l he adds an admirable eloquence and a auickening. Knowledge of men and | things that make him finely fitted for pastoral work.

 ! The question is answered in Niany | doctor books. and many works relative | to the internal causes of expectora. tion have been writ Yet, why spit? Why not wait until you get home, or | on the bridge over the river, or on the | big road to Autaugavire?
