J.Y. Allen of Thomaston, who has been the pastor of the Baptist church in Talbotton for some years past, recently tendered his resignation on account of the fact that it was impossible for him to come to Talbotton but one Sunday in a month and difficult for him to serve the church at all. He was greatly loved by his members as well as by all the people of Talbotton and it was with regret that his resignation was accepted.

Underwood of Alabama who is said to be a splendid preacher. He will move to Talbotton shortly and will preach at the Baptist church three Sundays in each month.
