Misc. Church News

“We understand that “Billy Ross” is lecturing on Temperence to crowded houses, in the neighborhood of Dunkin’s (sic) Bridge, in Monroe county.

We learn that the meeting held at Paris, by Eld. Burnett, and others, was brought to a close on Wednesday evening last. We also learn that 83 additions to the church were made, many of whom were among the most prominent and useful citizens of Monroe County.”
