Bogue Chitto has just experienced
one of the greatest religious revivals
in its history. Services started ten
days ago at the Methodist church,
conducted by the Rev. W. M. McIn-
tosh of Iuka, Miss, assisted bys his
singer, G. T. Tatum of Jonesboro, Ark,
and the local pastor, Rev. W. G. Hal
liburton. The congregation grew so
large that the Methodist church would
not hold the crowds, and the meetings
we're then held at the Baptist church.
At the close of the meeting Wednesr
day night $215.06 was made up for
the Rev. Mr. Mcintosh.
