Rev. T. H. CARROTS Resignation
Greatly Deplored. Mr.. Wal.
lace Seigler a Happy
Father.

1t pains your correspondent to
announce that our pastor, Rev. I.
II. Garrett yesterday resigned his
pastorate here, consisting of Parks
vile and Modoc churches. The pas
tor stated that it panied him to
leave us, but other fields were open
to him though he had not accepted
other work. With many regrets the
church accepted his resignation.
Mr.. Garrett is a godly man and a
fine gospel preacher, and the prayers
of this church will follow him and
his interesting family. The writer
was not present yesterday but was
informed by competent judges that
the sermon of Mr.. CARROTS was as
usual, most excellent one. Parks
Vile is saddened by this resignation
not expecting to get better preach
er, or more consecrated man, in
fact it is a calamity to the entire
west-side, and to the association,
and many will be panied to hear of
it not connected with his pastor
ates.
The sun ecomes out beautifully
this morning after week Of I'M
pleasant weather, and / am glad TO
say that many believe that fairly
good stand of grain has survived
the cold. At one time many thought
the oat crop destroyed, but we now
hope for fairly good crop though
on account of SO much cotton not
much small grain was sown.

The happiest man in the Reho-
both section that we know of, is
Mr.. Wallace Seigler, the proud
father of a bouncing boy whose
name is John Clarence. All the
child's daddies, grand-daddies and
great-grand daddies were named
John, except one named Clarence,
commonly called "Clark" so to call
the child John with the addition of
Clarence means that he is named
for his male ancestry for SIX gen.
erations back. Wallace is hopping
and skipping this morning stopping
the holes in the house for the en-
trance of the cats, but it was sug-
gested instead, he was fixing to
keep John Clarence at home fear
ing he might make his exit if
things didn't suit him. He is indeed
fine boy and we congratulate the
happy parents.
Mr.. Gordon Blackwell went over
to Double Branch, Ca, Saturday
to visit his sick wife whom we are
glad to say is convalescing.
Mr.. R. S. Ridlehoover made a
trip to Augusta to-day on business.
Rev. B. H. Covington filled his
regular appointment yesterday af-
ternoon at the Methodist church,
his text being, Judge not that ye
be not judged, for with what judg-
ment ye Judge ye shall be judged
and with what measure ye mete it
shall be measured to you again."
Mr.. Covington is a fluent speaker
and consecrated young man.
