ALI Expelled as Liars.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat

From the New Orleans Times Democrat:
A prominent citizen of Jones county, Miss,
who stood high in the church, made visit to
Meridian recently, and upon his return told
his neighbors he had seen ice manufactured
in town with the thermometer standing 9o
1t soon became settled fact in the minds OF
the members of the church that Brother Blank
had degenerated into an able liar. Charges
were preferred against him, and committe
of church members were appointed to visit
Meridian and convict the erring brother OF
lying. They went, saw the ice manufactured,
and, returning home, so reported to meet
ing of the church members. A look OF aston
ishment on the faces of the assembled breth;
rem soon gave way to one of indignation, and
Brother Blank and the entire committee were
incontinently expelled from the church.
