CITIZEN HAS KIND WORDS
FOR REV. J. T. B. ANDERSON
Rev. J. T. B. Anderson, who has
been pastor of the Jeffersonville
Baptist church for 'he past four years,
tendered his resignation on last Sun
day morning, to ho effective on De
cember Ist. He has accepted the
pastorate of the First Baptist church
at Vidalia and will leave Jefferson
ville about the first of the month to
make his home there. Dr. Ander
son and his family, since coming
here, have made many friends over
this section, who will be very much
grieved, to learn that they are to
leave us. Probably Dr. Anderson
has done more than any other one
pastor has ever done for the church
at this place, as it is due very largely
to his untiring efforts that tne beau
tiful new Baptist church was erected.
His labors in the church work of
the community have been unceasing
and he will be greatly missed in both
the affairs of the church and socially.
He has the best wishes and prayers
!of hundreds of friends here tor bis
work in the new field. —Twiggs Comi
