Politics in Sullivan,

A Bristol correspondent writes the
Chattanooga Newsas follows: "Former
Gov. Cox, who is a candidate for re-
election to the senate, will have strong
opposition. Hon. W. E. Latture, OF
Bristol, former foterial representative
of this district, will, it is believed, an
nounce his candidacy in few days and
make the race against Cox. Former
Representative Parks Morley, who is q
candidate for reelection, is also strong
ly against Cox and charges that the
latter is in league with the temperance
people in the fight being made against
him for the election of r. r. Newland. ;

Resolutions Passed by Watauga Avenue
PRESBYTERIAN Church.

A three-fold growth in church mem
bership and income.
A proportionate increase in the num-
Der and efficiency of all branches of
church and Sunday school work.
A harmonious and united congrega-
ton at the beginning of the ministry
aud similar condition at the close.
Eight years of blsmeless living, high
thinking and earnest Christian effort
calling forth from congregation and
community alike the love and esteem
which naturally follows such life.
This in brief, is the record of our
PASTORS ministry-a ministry longer in
years than any other in the history of
johnson City and probably more fruit
full of results.
With such record for monument,
with such life as an example we can
look forward to the separation of the
ties which bind pastor and people only
with regret and sorrow.
Therefore be it resolved:
That while we accept the resignation
rendered by our pastor, Rev. J. A.
Moore, we do so with deep sense of
personal loss and only because of his
desire to engage in the work of the
Master in another field.
Resolved That we commend him to
the Christian fellowship and prayers of
his new congregation and bespeak for
him the same measure of success that
has crowned his efforts here.
Resolved-That a copy Of these reso-
lutions be spread on the church rec
ords and that copies be sent Brother
Moore, the johnson City press, and the
church and Presbytery to which he
removes.
Respectfully submitted,
