It records charitable contributions of 655 for education and 80 for religious and benevolent causes, notes two new congregations joining, and reports excluded Oak Grove, Union, and Antioch for persisting vice influences.

Old Man makes public profession of faith in Lincoln County

An elderly parishioner, the oldest man in Lincoln County and perhaps South Mississippi, publicly professes faith at Friendship Church. His baptism in a nearby stream ends the ceremony as family and friends, including his grandson, bear witness to a life of faith and lineage spanning over a hundred descendants. The event reflects a spiritual milestone after a long life, military service, and deep roots in the community. Powell's advertising pervades the page, and a farmers meeting is announced for November in Lincoln County to discuss times, short crops, and debt liquidation.
