as the church wanted till all of the debt
had been provided for which is novy
reduced to $1,000 with interest. Th<
friend replied that he was anxious that
the congregation should have such an

make the way clear for immediate steps
In that direction he wanted to be responsible
for tne whole debt and forthwith
drew his check for $1,031. leaving
no Incumbrance whatever on the handsome
property. The elders and deacons
y ,
rH. 19
of the church met Friday afternoon, and
after a statement of the situation from
Mr. Cunningham they voted promptly,
unanimously and enthusiastically to take
steps to order an organ not to cost more
than $3,500. It is hoped that by the
time the Synod of Mississippi meets
here in November the organ will be installed,
and thus will be observed the
four hundredth anniversary of the birth
of John Calvin. This will make the
meeting of Synod in this city a most
memorable one. Some of the leading

Alexander, of Jackson, and W. M. Cox,
of Baldwin, are to deliver addresses on
this occasion.
