John Bowman, an aged deacon, was gladly welcomed by the church.  Two letters were granted.  The members of the south side of the county called for a separated church organization at Brier Mountain, where they have a neat churchhouse, twenty miles south of here. The request was granted.  They have twenty-four members, two of whom are ministers in the second degree, brethren J. O. Boon and Samuel Boon.
