LEWIS WILL NOT LEAVE
ZION FOR MISSISSIPPI

Special to The NetCs.
Columbus, Miss, Feb. 24.-In a spe
cial recently sent out from Columbus
it was stated that John A. Lewis, who
succeeded the late Elijah Dowie in the
management of the church of Zion and
the affairs of the little city of that
name which the prophet founded near
Chicago, had decided to relinquish his
interests in Zion City and return to
Mississippi, but it now transpires that
he has no such intention. His visit
to this section being for the purpose
of Investigating the natural gas situa-
ton in Fayette county, Alabama
1t seems that Mr.. Lewis is still en-
thusiastic regarding the doctrines ex-
pounded by the late Elijah Dowie, and
has expressed willingness to deliver
lecture on the subject in this city.
He is now in Fayette county, but ex-
poets to visit Columbus again before
returning to his Western home, and
may deliver an address here.
