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.

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.
