Methodism in Franklin among the colored people is still on the progressive march. We are happy to say that we are holding service n our new church just one-half mile from the colored school building.
Sunday, Aug. 29, the Rev. H. C. Gannaway of Atlanta, Ga., will be with us to help us in our annual revival meeting. Brother Gannaway is at present a student at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta. He is a strong gospel preacher and a wonderful singer. He is a member of “The Gammon Harmony Four.” He has appeared before the leading white people of Atlanta. We invite you to hear him preach and sing.
Special seats will be arranged for our white friends who may wish to come out and hear the good old time spirituals.
--J. B. Meekins, Minister
