Mormonism is still fiourishing in Upper Geor-
gia, IL seems. The Chattanooga Times states
that Elder Morgan, President of the Mission
OF the Mormon Church comprising the South
eastern States, was in the city Wednesday
night, and left yesterday for Rome Ga In the
course OF a conversation with the Elder the
Times reporter learned that he is now prepar-
ing number Of emigrants for their departure
next week. He thinks that from l25 to $50 will
leave for Colorado. All converts to the Nor
mon faith in this locality are sent to Colorado.
and there are now in tnat State colony of
over $500, and il is continually receiving new
accessiOns. He states that during the past
few months the church has received about
three hundred additions from his mission.
which number he considers very encouraging.
he says LlaG ne mas ADVISED out rev 10 emil
crate this year, both on account of their dispO-
sitiOR when they are hurried TO dispose of their
property al a sacrifice, but chiefly because he
fears that the departure Of the best adherents
from this locality will greatly weaken the
church. each convert in his oWn vicinity acting
a missionary and in most cases being quite
successful he states that twenty elders are
constantly at work in his mission Their eX-
penses are principally paid by themselves, but
the church pays a portion of them. The
church he states, has consl terable strength in
North Georgia. In reference to a newspaper
correspondence b-tWeen himself and citizz n
of Chattanooga he said he wrote one letter,
simply to correct some misstatements (as he
claims), but would not respond to the last"
