From Jennings, Okla. T.

  Bro. A. G. Fillmore and the writer went to the above place Dec. 28, to hold some meetings and organize a church.  On account of the inclemency of the weather we had but three meetings in council, for the purpose of organizing.  Sixteen members were present, and three absent.  They chose the name “Bethany” for their congregation.

  Having no deacon, they elected Bro. M. Teeter to that position.  They also selected the writer as their elder.  They have nineteen members, three ministers and one deacon.

  Here is a little band of faithful workers that needs the prayers of the church, as many of them are babes in Christ. They have, however, a bright prospect of building up the cause of Christ.  They have a fair county and cheap homes.  Any desiring information can write to Thomas Sutton, Jennings, Okla. T., or James Miles, Turlton, Okla. T.  Enclose stamp.
