We regret to note the resignation
of Rev. F. G.. Davis of the Baptist
church which he read from his pulpit
on Sunday morning, and which is to
take effect, July LIST. Mr.. Davis
sterling character and sound common
sense has won the respect and friend =
ship of all earnest thinking people
with whom he has come in touch and
we feel that we voice the sentiment
Of large majority of the community
when we say that we are deeply
panied that he should have to consid-
er the step necessary. For the sew

has continued to preach us good ser
mons each and every Sunday and in
the business walks of life his word
has been a bond which has never
been questioned and we hoped that
his genial figure might remain with
US for many years to come.
