Ded jcotion Of the PrsIdwerian
Church. After very elaborate and
salutary improvements upon the Pres
byterian Church at Bristol it was on
Saturday last dedicated by Rev. Mr..
Brown of Abingdon Va. 1t is quite
a curious fact this church, building,
the oldest in our town has been used
Tor near fifteen years without having
been dedicated As far as the interi-
or is concerned it has been made to
appear almost wholly new. The Gal
lery has been removed and the main
floor enlarged by the addition ofthc en-
tire space coveredby it heretofore. and
the doors for ingrcss and egress of the
congregation have been removed to the
upper and west end of the Church
and located to the right and left o
the pulpit. The exterior of the build.
ing has been improved by the erection
of a neat steeple.
