- The new General Baptist Church just
completed in the Lower Bayou, was dedica-
ted few days since. 1t will be under the
pastoral charge of the Rev. Benoni Stinson,
by whose exertions the building was erected.
1t is a neat and comfortable house of wor-
ship, with carpeted aisles, well arranged pull
PIT and pews, and situated in a pleasant
grove, near Mr.. Stinson's residence. A pro-
tracted meeting is now being held there and
will be continued until after next Sunday.
Those wishing to attend any of the meetings
will be gladly welcomed by Mr.. Stinson and
the members of the church.
