TOWN CREEK ASSOCIATION.

H. Jones, pastor; Oak Grove Church, Cotton Valley, Rev. Mac. Wright, pastor.

They have a membership of about 1,500.

Rev. E. Thornton, of Union Springs, is moderator, and E. A. McCall, of Columbus, Ga., is clerk.

The writer has been unable to ascertain all desirable facts. Judging, however, from the character of the men whose names appear in the lead of their work, we may feel sure that they have organized the Association in order to advance educational and missionary interests.

Rev. J. L. Frazier, Pastor St. Louis St. Baptist Church, Mobile, Ala.
