REV. G. L. YATES
 TO FIRST CHURCH

A meeting of the pulpit committee of the First Baptist church was held Wednesday night, &irnmediately before prayer meeting. At this time the committee reported that they were unanimous in selecting Rev. e. L.. Yates, of Tyler, Texas, as successor to Rev. s. E. Tull in the pastorate of the First church. The selection of the committee will have to be ratified by the congregation. This will prob- ably be effected at Sunday morning services. .1..-....=.,
 When the call is extended t1 Rev. Yates the members of the First church believe he will unhesitatingly accept. The minister, who in all probability will be called here, was formerly To- cated at New Decatur, Ala. He later went to Tyler. Rev. Yates visited here one time and was greatly admir- ed. His excellent qualities are still remembered by the congregation.
 Rev. Bowers will preach Sunday morning. A large attendance of members is desired as the initial step for calling Rev Yates will be taken.
