Jackson Argus – Week of April 26, 1895
The following is a copy of resolutions passed by the M.E. Church Conference, at 
its session Monday night, and requested to be published:

Whereas, on the 7th day of April, 1895, Col. M. V. McKibben came to the M. E. 
Church at Jackson in an intoxicated condition, and in this condition disturbed 
the public worship then engaged in by the people there assembled.   That said 
M.V. McKibben, after making apologies  in a written form, and the said M.V. 
McKibben in replying to the note written by the pastor of the church, was 
grossly insulting,  Therefore, be it

Resolved, That we, as a church, condemn such conduct, of which said M.V. 
McKibben has been guilty in disturbing divine public worship in a drunken 
condition, and as a church, we call upon the grand jury of the county of Butts 
to investigate said charges against the said McKibben.

That these resolutions be published in the Jackson Argus, and a copy officially 
signed be served on the grand jury.

Clement C. Cary – Pastor in Charge
                               W. E. Harp, Secretary
