Elder Dimmitt

The excellent pastor of the Methodist Church, Elder [illegible] G. Dimmitt; we regret to learn, is about to leave our city. He has been appointed by Bishop Scott presiding elder of the Iowa City District in place of Elder Reed, appointed Indian agent by the president. Mr. Dimmitt will leave immediately for the field of his future labors. He will carry with him the respect and esteem of our citizens, as well outside his own denomination as within its ranks.
