JOINS NEGRO CHURCH, ASKED TO
QUIT TOWN.

Decherd, Tenn, July 12.--An unus-
ual occurrence involving a racial, So
cial and religious complication has
been revealed in the removal from
this place of j. w. Newton and family,
who recently came here to live. Re
liable report has it that Mr. Newton
was requested to move elsewhere, as
the result of action taken to that eff
feet at a meeting of the mayor and
city council.
The incident leading up to the situa-
tion in question came about as the
result of the head Of the Newton
family becoming interested in a re-
vival meeting being held in the Naza
rene church, Negro congregation,
and in his being baptized eventually
by immersion by the Colored parson
of that church.
1t is presumed the decision of the
reported, was due merely to the fact
that the example of inter-racial com
mingling as practical in the unusual
mayor and city council, If correctly
case was deemed likely TO lead to I'M
desirable possibilities.
The Newtons left town without eX-
pressing any resistance or complaint.

One of their first undertakings will
