- The recent cold spell damaged the corn and fruit crops somewhat, but not as much as was expected.
- A good many of our friends attended Crumpler’s meeting at LaGrange Saturday night and Sunday.
- Saturday morning, as the sun was rising, a good many of the young boys met at Mr. Josiah Sutton’s to trim down an acre of woods for the purpose of building a Free Will Baptist church, which will be built immediately. Mr. Josiah Sutton gave $59 and one acre of land, which we appreciate very much. It seems tha the love of God has been shed abroad in the hearts of a good many young people.
