Dr. Stakely, the pascor of the First Baptist Church, i6th and © streets, has been approached by a committee who, on behalf of the First Church of Atlanta, Ga, are on the lookout for a suitable man to fill the vacant pulpit of that church. Dr. Stakely is at present out of the city, hav- ing gone to Hollins Institute, Va., where he delivered an oration at the commencement exercises. It is not known what answer he will give to the committee. He has not, as yet, menuoned the matter to intimate friends. During his pastera‘e in this city, Dr. Stakely has received several advan- tageous calls, but, so far, the First Church has been able to retain its popuiar and ef- ficient pastor. ———._—_ Alarm of Fire.
