DROP MISSING
SHEPHERD WHO
FORGOT BILLS
Trustees of Fashionable
Church Vote to Get An
other Pastor.
Special to The Farmer.)

Georgetown, Oct. AT the meeting
of the board of trustees of the Gilbert
Memorial Congregation church, last
night, Rev. John L. Garland, erSt-
while pastor, was dropped.
In Georgetown last night it was as
serted that during the six months stay
of Mr.. Garland, he managed to obtain
about 50, 100. He is said to have told
hard luck stories, principally about
debts that accumulated while he was
working his way through college
Ky Going away, Mr.. Garland overlooked
his bills, and the grocer, furniture
dealer and others haven't been able to
find him to remind him of the mis-
take.
The minister is SO years old. He was
born in Newfoundland.
There is considerable speculation as
to what Mr. Garland did with his
money There were those who whis-
pered that he. was not above making
wager on a game of baseball, when he
had his convictions about the mines
ability and it was further whispered
that he generally guessed wrong He
was unassun.ing in his deneanor and
was not a man of vicious habits.
Mrs. Garland is puzzled. she is
quoted as renarking: There are just
two things / want to know and they
are why Mr.. Garland, married me, ana
what he did with his money" Mrs.
Garland expressed the opinion that her
husband had had a bright future and
was clever and was well EDUCATED and
had a strong personality and he start
cd mt successfully and why he should
turn out this way she didn't know.

HUGE WAR LOAN
SUBSCRIPTIONS
COMING IN FAST

New York, Oct. Underwriters of
the $500, 10000 Anglo-French bond
issue soon to be offered the public
were of the opinion today that the en-
tire amount would be subscribed with
in a few days. The lists will be closed
in all probability, early next week.
The so banks, trust companies and
financial institutions which comprise
the underwriting syndicate in New
York city were cheered by the support
given them from Jewish clients the
definite announc EN- ent by a member
of the AngIo-F French 1commission that
Russia would not be a participant in
the funds derived is believed to have
entered, to large extent into the de-
cision of Jews to subscribe.
Figures as to the total subscribed
placed the sum at $365,OO0,00O as of
Thursday night. The remaining $135,-
0OO,OQO. it was thought, would be OBJ
tanned without great difficulty. Many
Western cities and towns are yet to
be heard from and in those already
reported, it was said, support had
been stronger than at first anticipated.
In the possible event of an over sub
scription, it was said that the appli-
,cantss for relatively small allotnents
would be considered first. Payments
on the bonds will be made in three
install1nehts, IS per cent. each on
October IS and November Is, and the
remaining SO per cent. on December
