Methodists to Erect New Church

The Southern Methodist congregation at Bakerton, this county, of which Rev. E. W. Aaron is pastor, will erect a handsome new church at that place as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. A number of years ago the Washington Building Lime Company gave the Methodists a lot at Bakerton, on which they erected a nice little church. The main quarry of the company has now been extended to within a short distance of the church, and it will not be long until it will be entirely too close for comfort. The company has given the congregation $2,600 for the lot on which the church stands, the church to be removed within thirty days, and the quarry will be pushed along southward until it reaches the county road. The money obtained from the sale of the church and the lot will be used to help along the erection of a new church on another site.
