The thoroiiglness of the work is evidenced inl that, a. six grade pupil sitecessftilly passed the Ciounty Board of Examiners iln Febrimry, and wfatS awarded a certiticate to teach. The course of study comprises nine grades. If the work done inl the re maining three grades is as thorough ats it is througig the sixth grade, and there is abindantt reason to believe it is, thero is no reason why this school shouil not be the pride of the colored people of the towni and county. Such of them 1as have child ren to school would do well to put thei inl school here instead of sell(] ing them aIviy where the cost Is iich more an(d perhaps the training not as thorough.

One church, known as Oriftn churoh, orgaised about 1855, and rebuilt about, the yea r j880, is the place where these people have their membership chiefly. The natne wasq given It from Sargent Grifin, it is said, who deeded teland upon whuich the building stands.

From the time the town of liekem was founded until the 16th day ol May, 1891, it Wias without a iBaptisi church. Whilo there were a fewv Baptists in the towt during these years they were not suiiciently strong numerically nor financially tu undertake such a movement.. On the 4t-h (lay of April the first step was taken whein brethren B. Holder, J. F. 1)argan and C. E. Robinson met with brother J. At. Stewart in his office and held the first meeting to diseiss the advisability of organizing a church. After this, meetings were held frequently and with additionai strength, and although few in num bers they were fully committed to the work and determined by the help of God to suceed. On the 16th day of May, 1891, those who had agreed to. take part inl tle new organization had secured letters of dismission from their respective churches, and by previous arrange ment, met iln the Presbyterinn churchd and were dlly constitutedl and or ganized into a Baptist church. The council consisted of Rev. T. M1. liailey, D. D., moderator; Rev. J. M. Stewaurt, secretary, and Revs. W. R. Singleton, .J. T. Lewis, Charles Man)y, 1). D., a.nd '1. F. Nelson. Declaration of faith and practice and a church cove nant. were read and adopted. After the organization and from timtle to time Committees were apl pointed to secure a lot and to raise funds for bu'ilding a house of wor slip. Several lots were offered but the members -werc not able to buy% and build and by unaniiouis agree lietit tecepeted tile lot. oifered by Bro. J. NI. Stewart., where the build ing niowV stands, which vas a gene rous gift. The little band for 11ontls striuggled and toiled and begged and piaye(l, nild two years from ile day of organization had seclred funds suftlicient to buihld i holise, t louight lot coIljlet.ed, and from then unl' til now it has been a. struggle to complete the building, but, today, under the giidalice of the Holy Spirit and the blessings of Almighty God, we see our efforts crovned with success. The first. pastor we lad was Bro. L. T. Weldon. who caie to us in ,Iia n uary, 1892, and served un1itil Decemi ber, 1893. The first, year of the exis tenee of tle church it was supplied by Brethren J. K. 'Iendenhall. T. M. Bailey, W. It. Singleton, It. llolder, .1. M. Stewart. and J. T. Lewis. iro. R. W.
