The Rev. G.O. Watts, pastor at Jackson, Tenn., is given an extended write up in the southern city newspapers which will be read with considerable interest by his many friends in this city, where he was born and reared."Rev. Watts has been rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church of Jackson, since 1911 and has been a powerful factor in the maintenance of a high standard of morality and religion in that city," says the paper. "His departure," continues the news paper, "will be a grievous loss to the city as well as to his congregation. It will be difficult for St. Luke's vestry to secure another rector who will in every respect fit so well into the need and purposes of that church." The paper wishes Rev. Watts God speed in his new field, feeling that as a young man his opportunities for service and advancement in the church will be greater in Memphis, perhaps, than it would have been had he elected to remain in Jackson.

After the absence of ten years, during the greater part of which time relatives have mourned him for dead, Fred Winklemann has been located and may return here. Late in the Fall of 1890 Winklemann left his home in the city and since that time, although every effort has been made to locate him, nothing was known of his whereabouts and he had been given up as dead. Last week while on a visit at Fargo, North Dakota, Theo. Torrison learned of a Fred Winklemann residing there and upon inquiry and a visit to his home found him to be the missing Manitowoc man.
