As some persons, who are unacquaint-
ed with our town, appear TO be confused
over the location of the colored churches,
we will state there are two: one in North
Milton the A. NJ f. Church, under the
control Of colored bishop and a colored
conference; one in South Milton the
colored A. NJ. r. Church, under the CON

will thus be seen why we sometimes
mention colored church in North Mil
ton, and at other times one in South Mil
ton. We have also three churches for
the white people.
