SAVS HAS HOT
QUIT PREACHING
Baptist Preacher Expects
To Be More Active
In Ministry
A WORD OF EXPLANATION
i TO THE PUBLIC
Three months ago I resigned
the pastorate of the First Baptist
Church to enter actively into the
work of evangelism about that
time I purchased a shoe and har
ness repair business at 14 North
Poindexter street, where Maten
repaired shoe so long. This
somehow or other created the im
pression that 1 intended quitting
the miniijtrv to engage in other
pursuits altogether. I want my
friends and the geueral public to
kuow that such is a mistake. In
fact, I exject to do more preachr
ing tlin ever as an evangelist
among the churches and am still
pastor of the church at Corinth,
where I preach every Sunday af
ternoon .
We have decided to settle and
make our future home in Eliza
-beth t'it.Vj to become factors in
the grow th and uplift of the town
and to tnke part in everything
that stands for the advancement
of our fellow citizens. We have
put 'some money in the leather
repair husiness above mentioned
and hope to see it grow by the
patronage of the good people of
our city into something of a per
manent enterprise in the future.
Already the best jeople of the
city are giving us their work
which we appreciate as it helps
us to make an honest living, rear
our family and meet our obliga
tions, citizens.
-' The businetss belongs to me ab
solutely and I stand responsible
for the guarantee which we put
upon our work. I hav employed
Mr. Win. (Trannie) Crank to do
the shoe repair work. He is a
sober, industrious workman, rear
efin this section and toiling to
make an honest living for him
self and family ; we vouch for con
scientiout work done on all leath
er goods which we repair., .--
The patronage of the people
coming our way will aid us in de
veloping our business into a com
mercial factor .in the city and
will enable the public to get hon
est work done in all kinds Qf
leather at moderate prices.
Added to the shoe department
we have a harness repair busi
ness and our isame guarantee is
on this as on the other.
Bring us your work at 14 north
Poindexter street, opposite Loves
Meat Market and we will appre
ciate it.
Your fellow citizen,
Advt. L. T. REED,
