Rev. D. L. Prentice, Aldrich, is doing a very effective work in the
school room, and the people of his town bear the marks of his pedagogic
labors. Their meetings, I mean associational meetings, are enjoyable
and they give evidence of piety, promise and power.
This body liberally aided in the purchase of Selma University, and has
ever been ready for any and every good work.
SOUTHEAST ALABAMA ASSOCIATION.
This Association operates in the extreme southeast portion of the
State. I have not been able to secure a full statistical table from
them.
They report thirty churches, with a membership of about 2,000. From a
mutilated copy of their minutes for 1892 the following names are given
as the ordained ministers of the body: J. Craddock, G. Christinar, J.
Stith, Thomas Slaughter, M. Spencer, E. P. Langston, J. Cotton, E.
Alford, T. Rollins, A. L. Koonce, J. C. Green, Wm. Carter, A. Powell,
J. Foston, J. Sampson, James Humphrey, G. R. Hall, R. C. Liferedge, and
A. Turner.
Part of the statistical table is torn away, but the following appears
as the list of their post offices: Cowarts, Otho, Crosby, Balkum,
Headland, Gordon, Shorterville, Halesburg, Zornville, Hardwicksburg,
Brackins, Choctawhatchie, Columbia, Lawrenceville, Abbeville, Fort
Gaines, Cottonwood, Dothan, Hilliardsville, Ashford. I give this list
because to know the post offices of the churches is better than to know
nothing at all. They are all right on temperance, and they say they
will license no man to preach who cannot read the New Testament.
SNOW CREEK ASSOCIATION.
Is chiefly located in Calhoun and Etowah counties. At present their
officers are as follows:
Rev. H. W. Whatley, White Plains, moderator.
Rev. William Munds, Anniston, assistant moderator.
Prof. Lydden Green, Oxford, clerk.
This body was organized in 1869 by Rev. Burrell Snow (whose name it
bears) and a few others, aided by the late Rev. Mr. Jinkins, a white
Baptist minister, whose heart and hand seemed ever ready to help on
every good work among the colored people.
Rev. H. J. Hoke, the efficient missionary of Arkansas, went out from
this association. They have something above 2,000 members belonging to
the following churches:
