As stated in .these eolumns some
weeks ago that Mr..B. M. F. Coates
had been directed, in a vision to go' to
Georgia, in which state he married
some years ago, and after a; short sea
son of wedded, bliss he and. his wife
parted,, and returning back io Har
nett county married again,;
".We would not bo a stumbling block
in the way of any worker for the
cause of Christ and as we made the
statement of tsfo departure we will do
him the justice of stating that when
he arrived, at Araby, "Gi., the place
that, he gavs his hand in marriage to
the nretty Miss ; Lula H Webb, be
found that she had obtained a divorce
and married again, and after her tec-
end marriage had died.
The 'fact of his first wife marrying
- -
again sets him free, and we sincerely
hope he will hold out faithful in the
cause he now pursues.
