Lineville Headlight Dec-1911:
Mr. and Mrs. Watson Walker of Almond, Rt. 1, were in Lineville Thursday 
soliciting funds to build a new church in the Corinth community.

Lineville Headlight 1928:
The average small church finds it a hard problem to pay their preacher much less
donate to missions, but Corinth Baptist Church of Malone Rt 2, in lower end of 
Clay has solved their financial worries by the more zealous members setting 
aside a portion of land for their church. The proceeds from the crops grown on 
this land is sold and cash placed in church treasury for emergency purposes. 
Other churches would do well to follow the example of the Corinthians. Rev. P. 
T. Layton, of Roanoke, is the beloved pastor of this church.

Corinth Baptist Church has always been the little church with a big heart.
