PASTOR RESIGNS

Rev. Estle c.. Barnes who since
last September has been the pastor
of the Clio M. P. Church has resigned
from that position and together with
his estimable wife has gone to Barry
County, his old home, wnere he will
engage in farming. The cause of the
resignation of Rev. Mr.. Barnes was
a threatened break down of his
nervous system, his physician order
ing him to cease ministerial work at
once. Rev. Mr.. Barnes was an ear
nest worker while IN Clio and both he
and his estimable wife were much
liked by all who came to know them.
On Tuesday evening, just prior to
their departure, the parishioners and
friends of Rev. and Mrs. Barnes
gathered at the church parlors, and
gave them farewell reception.
Rev. A. T. Camburn, in behalf of
the membership of the M. p. Church
and the community at large made a
feeling address expressive of the es-
TEEN in which the guests of honor
were held and presented them with a
purse Of $4,000. Miss Lillian Farms
worth, president of the C. E. Society,
likewise made felicitous remarks and
on behalf of the society presented
Mrs. Barnes with purse. The speak
ers voiced the sentiment of the COM
munity is wishing for Rev. Mr..
Barnes and his wife abundant happi-
ness and prosperity in whatever field
of labor they might engage and
wherever they might make their
home.

Why, First Mortgages Guaranteed
by This Company Are the Best
Investment for Prudent People.
Trustees have hnd many
unpleasant experiences during
the last few years, both with
high class bonds and with
unguarartecd MORTGAGES. The
better the quality Of tho bonds,
often the greater the deprecia-
ton In price. With the failinS
on In real estate values the
un6uaranteed mortdaSes

foreclosed and the investor has
become the owner Of the real

Not 80 the $4,000 trustees,

lenders who have held the

We believe that for q lona

ANSELL Is SNUBBED
AND PLEA DENIED
Secretary Baker Refuses to
Make Public Colonel's Let
ter in Crowder Dispute.

WAsHrNoroS, March as.-rhs contro.
versy over injustices in army court
martial proceedings was enlivened to-
day when Secretary Of War Baker made
public snub he had administered e
Col. Ansell. the champion Of a policy o,
reform.
At the came time Mr.. Baker made
It clear that Col Ansell's side Of the
controversy between this officer and
Gen. Crowder Is going to be suppressed
despite the request Of Senator Cham
berlain (Ore.). retiring chairman OF the
Military Committee of the last Congress.
that It be given to the public.
The snub is found in the foilowins
statement made public to-day by Mr.
Baker:
Il have returned to Col. Anseil
the letter which he sent me with the
suggestion that any recommendations
or suggestions he has to make with
reference to improvement in the sub
stantive military law or In the pro-
cedure will be welcomed.
The particular letter seems to me
to be not helpful. and therefore I
have returned It to him, and have
|. told him that any suggestion he
wants to make he can make either
through military channels or directly
to me, as he may elect"
1t is understood that the particular
letter to which Secretary Baker refers Is
ono written by Col. Ansell making q
strong personal appeal to the Secretary
to give . previous letter to the public
that the stand taken by Col. Anseil in
his dispute with Gen. Crowder might be
impartially considered and judged. Col
Ansell pointed out that Gen. Crowders
eide OF the case defending the present
system OF military law had been giver
fully to the public. In the interest Of
Justice and fair play Col Ansell wanted
to know whether he In his advocacy OF
reform might not expect the same ad-
vantage.
