Pearson Baptist church dedication a great success

The dedication of the Pearson Baptist church drew a large audience. Rev. Dr. Sproles preached in the morning, followed by a long dinner table and a sumptuous meal. In the afternoon Rev. Lattimer of Clinton preached with Rev. Powell assisting, as neighboring towns joined the ceremony. The Cox sisters sang a solo, and Miss Olie Nealy and Mrs. Edgar Misterfeldt provided music, with thanks given to all who made the day pleasant.
