Aug-1890 Clay County Advance:
Dr Scarbrough has been conducting quite an interesting meeting at Spring Hill 
church this week. 
The congregations have been very large and attentive, and much interest has been 
manifested at each service.
The church is too small to accommodate the people who attend, and the citizens 
of that community would do well to erect a more commodious building.
