REV TITUS GRANTED HIS RELEASE

Pastor of Christian Church Will Tender Resignation to Enter AntiSaloon Work.

At a meeting of the official boart of the Christum church yesterday, Rev. G. W. Titus, the pastor, was with reluctance granted his release as pastor of the church. He only recently accepted a call as pastor for another year. He will continue the work here until the latter part of October, to give the board time to secure his successor, when he will remove to Indianapolis to take up work as field secretary of the state anti-saloon league, a work for which he feels that he is especially fitted.

It was with reluctance that Rev. Titus gives up his work here, and the board was reluctant to grant him his release and offered him special inducements if he would remain here as pastor of the church. He wifi tender his resignation as pastor of the church next Sunday, at which time it will be accepted. During his fifteen months here as pastor of the church he has increased the membership by seventy. The church is in better shape financially than at any time in its history. The men’s class in the Sunday school is the largest'in the history of the Sunday school and the Sunday school work has increased greatly.

PLAN TO BACK FIRST CHIEF OF ALL MEXICO

U. S. and South American Partners Will Give Carranza Six Weeks To Get Prepared.

The U. S. and its South American partners will probably back General Carranza, first chief of the constitutionalists of Mexico, as the real goods and worthy of recognition. Carranza was invited to meet other chiefs and settle the difficulty. The others responded expressing willingness, but Carranza said hands off my Mexico. This was all that was needed to satisfy Uncle Sam, who has had enough experience with Carranza for the past four years to know that he won’t be bluffed, so now our country has decided to forgive him for all the murders and outrages and robberies and destruction and insults and to back him to a finish and thus restore peace in Mexico. {Jreat stuff. Here’s hoping that this last plan of our Washington diplomats succeeds better than the hundred other schemes tried during the past two years. All hail Carranza.

VISITOR HAS RELICS OF THE CIVIL WAR

6. S. Kendall, Who Was In Business In Remington In 1875, Spent Sunday In Rensselaer.

G. S. Kendall, who served during the civil war in the 12th Indiana volunteers, and who later was engaged in the drygoods business in Remington for several months in 1875, was an over-Sunday visitor in this city. He called this Monday morning on the editor of The Republican, whose father he knew before the war. Mr. Kendall was transferred to the commissary department at the headquarters of General O. O. Howard during the war and served there during the most of the march to the sea. He secured a few relics which he prizes very highly and had two of these with him on his visit here. One was a bill with the face value of S2O, issued by an act of the Georgia general assembly of 1778, and redeemable within twelve months from any moneys arising from the sale of forfeited estates. The bill was found in a house in Savannah, Ga., which was used as General Howard’s headquarters. It was some 88 years of age at that time and is now 137 years old. It was printed on a fair quality of paper and would be considered at this time a very poor quality of printing, but shows an effort to use characters that would make it difficult to counterfeit. It bore the signatures of several men, but only three are legible, being C. Kent, W. Maxwell and W. O. Bryan. The bill has broken at the folds and it has been fastened together by strips of paper. Another relic is a brief note penned to General Howard by a southern lady appealing for aid. It shows the distress that existed in the parts of the south where troops were located. The note was penned April 3, 1865, and reads as follows. “Gen. Howard:

“Will you please be so kind, so considerate, as to send by this man a few lbs. of sugar or a few gallons of syrup as your Army have deprived us of everything for sustaining life, except we get only a little from your men as they pass. You* will greatly oblige one who is certainly in need. I shall feel very gratefu for anything you may see fit to allow me. Jane Prigden.” On the back of the note was listed an issue of 3 pounds of sugar, 10 pounds of hardtack and 5 pounds of bacon. The note had been sent by General Howard to Dr. Mills, the acting quartermaster, who had given it to Mr. Kendall to fill and after doing so he had retained the note and has it yet today, fifty years from the date if nroo WPIttPH. Mr. Kendall resided in Indianapolis for some time and moved a year ago to Irvington, where he now resides. Hamilton & Kellner handle the famous Johnston com binder.
