live new members since January 1,

GEORGIA.
Augusta Presbytery: The removal
of a number of ministers to other
Presbyteries has left more than half
the churches of this Presbytery with
out regular preaching. The vacant
fields are composed of single churches
and of groups. The salary in each
field is about fifteen hundred dollars
and a comfortable manse. Any one
interested may communicate with the
chairman of the Home Mission Com

Augusta, Ga.
Itabuii County: This is the north
eastern county of Georgia, famous for
its mountain scenery and for some
things bad that sometimes go with
mountain sections back from the well
traveled roads. Recently, however,
there was organized a Presbyterian
church in this county, making one
less county of the many in Georgin
without a Presbyterian church. The
organization was perfected September
24th at the town of Tiger. We hope
it will have its place as an evangelis
tic agency for fhis great undeveloped
county.
