—Mr. G. W. Jackson and his wife (Rose McCutcheon) are pushing their
mission day and Sunday-school work at Whiteside, Tenn. They have
been visited by Rev. Jos. E. Smith and Mrs. Steele of Chattanooga,
and meetings of much promise have been held.
—The _Clarion_, of Jackson, Miss., gives an interesting report
of the colored Congregational Church, organized by the A. M. A.
in that city, with Rev. C. L. Harris, pastor. The church has a
membership of 16 and a Sabbath-school of 63. Services are held in
the hall of the Hope Fire Company. The citizens of Jackson have
subscribed liberally toward the erection of a house of worship.
—Rev. S. N. Brown, while furnishing a vacation supply at Florence,
Ala., has been assisted by the evangelist, Rev. J. E. Fields, in a
series of revival meetings, which has resulted in an addition of
twenty members to the church. This is the church which was so much
depleted by the Exodus.
—Rev. A. W. Curtis, of Marion, Ala., on invitation of Rev. Dr.
Raymond, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, has preached on
exchange with him. This is said to be the first expression of
fellowship of this kind the A. M. A. preachers have received at the
South. Mr. Curtis has also accepted an invitation to exchange with
the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in the same city.
—Rev. Geo. W. Clark of Athens, Ga., and his people, with aid from
the A. M. A., have purchased a lot and are proceeding to build a
house of worship. Up to this time they have held their services in
the chapel of Knox Institute.
—The A. M. A. is building a church at Pekin, N.C., with
accommodations for school purposes.
—The church at Chattanooga, Tenn. (Rev. Jos. E. Smith, pastor),
have built a new fence about the meeting house, which has been
painted outside and inside and beautifully frescoed.
—The St. Louis _Globe-Democrat_ says, in connection with the Press
Convention: “One remarkable paper was that represented at the
Convention by its business manager, R. C. Edmondson. It was _The
Fisk Herald_, a college paper published at the Fisk University
in Nashville, Tenn.; in fact, the only college paper the colored
people have. It is a nice eight-page tinted paper, well printed
and generally well reading journal.” The _Daily World_ says: “The
present number is of neat typographical appearance, and is filled
with interesting reading matter. A liberal encouragement should be
extended to this enterprise.”
