The Washington Republican Washington County Friday March 15, 1901 Mrs. DAVIS, whose husband is now in jail for violating the prohibitory law in Hollenberg, was here Monday and called at the M.E. parsonage and wanted to know the bishops name. She has a grievance against the M.E. pastor of Hollenberg and wants him removed. Methodist bishops are always ready to listen to complaints against preachers, but we doubt if Mrs. DAVIS can cause the bishop to remove Rev. HOLLAR for the offense of having a jointist convicted of violating the laws of the state. We might add further that Mr. DAVIS and his wife do not belong to the M.E. church. Chas. BOYD, who has had charge of the Standard Oil Co.'s oil business at Belleville, has been promoted to a better town and Ira MATHEWS will run the oil wagon at Belleville. BOYD will go to Beloit about April 1st. H.T. BOYD, his father, could have had the Beloit station, but he had just bought lots here and commenced to build his new house, so he did not care to move.
