Jonesboro. – Elders A. M. Laughrun and C. W. Clark began a revival in the West Mission, Jonesboro. Feb. 17 and continued until March 2. Nineteen were led to Christ. Two were baptized, six reclaimed and other wait the rite.  The members were greatly strengthened and the meeting closed with a crowded house.  Ground was broken March 3 for the new Jackson Park church. Jonesboro is the oldest town in the State, and the church is located in the park that once was the home of Gen. Jackson.  There are five Brethren churches within a radius of about five miles, four of which have members living in Jonesboro.  This is one of the best locations for a strong.  Brethren church in the South. – Mrs. C. W. Clark, Jonesboro, Tenn., March 13.
