Arcadia. – The members here have had a season of refreshing. Last Friday morning Eld. George Branscom came among us, and in the evening Eld. J. V. Felthouse arrived, to assist in the organization.  After careful deliberation and a season of prayer, it was unanimously decided to organize. Ten members were received by letter and several other members, who could not attend, will join us later. The official board are Eld. J. M. Leatherman, Bro. William Boroughs and the writer (ministers in the second degree); Bro. J. L. Henen (deacon). Elders Branscom and Felthouse remained over Sunday and gave us spiritual sermons. Visiting brethren will always find a cordial welcome among us. – C. H. Slifer, Arcadia, Fla., May 24.
