VOLUME 44 - NUMBER 39 Dalton Brand Takes Second Place In State Horse Show Fire Destroyed Pierce Chapel Church Sunday Pierce Chapel Methodist Church, near Hoboken, Ga., was completely destroyed by fire last Sunday morning just before eleven o’clock. The congregation was just leaving the building after an early morning worship service followed by a session of a newly organized Sunday School. The fire burned so rapidly that it was impossible to save any contents of the building except the pulpit Bible. The Pierce Chapel Church was erected more than fifty years ago, and has been the scene and the center of much very effective Christian acti vity across the years. How the fire commenced is not yet clearly known, unless it was due to defective elect rical wiring. It is said that the buildng was uninsured. But meeting for the formulation of plans for replacing the former structure have already commenced this week. Until another building is ready for occupancy the Pierce Chapel Church membership will have their worship ser vices and their Sunday School sessions regularly each Sun day in the Hoboken Methodist Church. Their friends and neighbors are invited to meet with them in this temporary meetng place. For the present, and until further notice.
