-----
ARBOR BURNED.
Friday night the arbor
under which the Baptists were conducting their meeting at Mooreville became
ignited from a gasoline lamp as it was being lighted.
The covering over the arbor was of jute
bagging and burned very rapidly. The Methodist church near by was
considerably damaged.
The meeting so far has resulted in
eighty-one accessions to the church, sixty-one by profession and baptism.
