A GRAND SUCCESS.
About 1,500 People Were Present
?Several Addresses Made at This
Gathering?A Wedding ?Other
News.
Joneqvit.lv, May 'J.?Yesterday
was a red letter day for Jonesville nt
Gilead church. Nearby the town
centenial services were held, as one
hundrod years ago a church was or- j
gani/.ed there. 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.
Poster, a former pastor who preached
\;s first sermon after his ordination
n that church. Rev. A. A. James
'ollowed with an andress. Rev. Mr.
lames had preached at this church
more than twenty years. W. H. S.
i-Iarris then spoke of the contrast beween
the old log church and the
present one. Mr. William Coleman
vas the next speaker, who is one of
,he old members of the church, havng
joined in the year 185."). A recess
>f ono hour was then taken and a
lountiful dinner was spread, and all
present were invited to partake. The
supply was greater than the demand.
The evening services consisted of a
lumber of short speeches by J. M.
jreer, J. \V. Sanders, Rev. David
Elucks, J. W. Scott, Joseph Sanders,
\V. H. S. Harris, William Coleman
ind Rev. W. M. Foster. The pastor,
Etev. F. C. Felmet read from the
uinutes of the church record some of
he proceedings of meetings from the
irst of the organisation one hundred
pears ago. The pastor was happy in
presiding over such a meeting aud to
litn as well as to all the large audl;nce
it was a day of much good in
:his day of grace.
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

Mr. T. C. Duncan of Uuion might
profit by considering the route of hi9

ind outstretched hands to welcome
