They report church property worth about $25,000. Their principal work
has been in the way of starting missions and building churches. They
have 6,000 members, and an excellent territory, but they greatly need
a school. Professors H. H. Stewart, of Courtland, and J. P. Gettis, of
Decatur, and Dr. Sterrs, of the same place, are the most advanced men
of their fellowship. Dr. Sterrs is a successful young physician as well
as preacher.

of missionary and educational enterprises. Their work is managed by
such men as Revs. P. S. L. Hutchins, B. N. Tubbs, R. E. Brown, L.
Abercrombie, T. Chandler and A. L. Huggins.
They have churches at or near Marion, Hamburg and Selma. The copy of
their minutes which came to the writer’s hand is not sufficiently full
to make a good record, as is the case with regard to other minutes in
hand.
OLD PINE GROVE ASSOCIATION.
With headquarters at Union Springs, Bullock county, was organized in
1870. No section of Alabama affords better talent than is found within
the territory of this Association. The people of Union Springs are
noted for their ability and skill in business affairs--merchandise, etc.
