Mitchell's Chapel Congregation Raises $1,712 in Cash for New Church Building, Dec. 5, 1919

From the front page of the Franklin Times, Louisburg, N.C., Dec. 5, 1919

Raises $1,712 at One Service

At Mitchell’s Chapel in Hayesville Township, a colored Baptist church the congregation responded to a call for help to erect a new church building with a contribution of $1,712 in cash. This is quite a creditable showing for the colored population of that particular section and their actions in this case received the hearty endorsement of their many white friends. It is stated that a modern commodious building will be begun at an early date.
