the newspapers, to the effect that the
Methodist church of this place is under
going great change, that the seats are to
be elevated, new carpets put down and

meetings of the official board and there the
matter rests Foreign correspondents, even
when not more than eight or ten miles dis
tant from the towns they try to represent,
are apt to get things badly mixed.
