Mr. Haggard, pastor of the Brookland Baptist church, has increased in interest to such an extent that the people hastily erected during the past week u large tabernacle r>0 by 90 feet on a vacant lot near the power, house, in order to accommodate the large crowds attending the services. These meetings will likely continue two or three weeks longer. All the denominations in this town are assisting the minister in his , efforts to bring about a religious revival among our people. A trained chorister from Atlanta has charge of the music, assisted by a strong local choir. Mr. Haggard is a preacher of much force and a successful evangelist.
