One OF our readers called our
attention to a statement we
made by mistake. In mentioning
Rev. Calhoun's sermon we said IL
was the best sermon heard in
Marshall for years. We meant
to say it was the best evange-
listic sermon. While the state
ment might have passed as cor
rect, it would not be a fair one
to our local ministers.

Had a "Cinch."

G. w. Carr of near Sharon, was
here Saturday to hear Governor
Taylor of Tennessee speak. He
spent about an hour very peas
antly he informed US talking to
his old boyhood friend. They
were raised together at Wash
ington, Tenn. G. w. Mitchell, OF
southwest OF town, informs us
that he also was a school mate
of Gov. Taylor and says that
while Gov. Taylor at one time
was running on the Democratic
ticket, his brother was the Re-
publican candidate and his faith
er, a preacher was the Prohibi-
ton candidate. That time the
.Taylors had a "sure thing and
1t was safe to bet that "Mr. Tay-
lor" would be the next governor.

called to Sedalia last week to
look after the interest of che

was formerly the pastor. He
was succeeded by Rev., w. II.

and then by forging the
