Baptist Church Organized.
For sometime there has been a
movement on foot in this community
to establish a Baptist Church in the
town, the nearest church of this de-
nomination being several miles away.
Sunday afternoon services were held
in the Methodist Church, and the
new church organized. Rev. Jno. a.
Brunson, preached an able sermon
and presided over the meeting. Mem
bers of the new Church were en-
rolled, most of them being transferr-
ed from other churches. Mr.. A. F.
Joyner was transferred from Corinth
Church as a deacon, and DR.. S.
Percival Wells was duly ordained as
deacon. Considerable funds are al
ready in sight for the purchase OF
a suitable site for the new church
building and the erection of same.
Until such time when the building
has been completed, arrangements
will be made for holding of services
at some convenient place in town.
The good people of the community,
regardless of denomination, are in
terested in the project and will give
it their substantial support. Rev.
Brunson filled the pulpit again Sum
day night for the Rev. Stevenson and
treated large congregation to an
other hour of unceasing flow of elo-
quent truths.
