Rev. Thomas H. CAMPBELL, pastor of the
Tazewell Baptist church for the past six and a half years, offered his resignation as
pastor last Sunday morning at the close of the regular morning service, to take effect May
1st. The church, after some opposition, was expressed to accepting the resignation,
finally decided to do so. He has not decided, as yet, upon a future location, Mr. CAMPBELL
has many friends, not only among the Baptist people, but in the community, at large, who
will regret his leaving. No steps have been taken, as yet, to fill the pastorate vacated
by this resignation.
