Of course the first j house of worship was a small and very plain in its structure, and the membership small, but these have both grown as tho years passed by until now they compare favorably with almost any of the country jhurches. A neat and modern church veil furnished with seats, organ and jtove, and a largo plot of ground upjn which tho dead of town and community are buried. The people gathered from all parts )f the country until twelve or fifteen aundrcd people were on the grrund. The services opened at 11 o'clock vith an address by ltov. Wm. M.

The first Sunday in May is always i big day with the colored people at ^heir church here and yesterday was to exception to the rule. The crowd Jiere wlffs "estimated fifteen hunIred people, with a dozen preachers. These people deserve much credit for their advancement, especially in church building, for they commenced ibout twenty-eight years since to preach undj^r a brush harbor and they have built several churches from time to time, each time making an i m rM?At?nm n w H 1 H*AT. ? t* ? ? >iii|>ivvciuuiiii uiivu vuvjr iiijw imve u handsome church.
