Jackson Argus – Week Of December 24, 1896 December 24, 1896
The Presbyterians are rapidly getting their arrangements in shape to build a
handsome church edifice.

The chairman of the building committee is Mr. J. B. Carmichael, one of the most
practical and progressing men in the state, and who does well all that he
undertakes.  Co-operating with him are other men of more than ordinary force,
and the movement which they have set on foot to erect the handsome new structure
has been fully matured and is in full swing.    Without the slightest
ostentation or noise a subscription list was started for the purpose of securing
the necessary funds and within two days the subscriptions footed up to $2,200. 
When completed the Presbyterians will have a $3,500 house of worship – one that
will reflect great credit on the earnestness of the membership, and one that
will be an ornament to the city.

The location of the old church is a very desirable one.   It contains a grove of
magnificent original oaks, affords sufficient natural drainage and while being a
quiet and lovely retreat yet it is easily and convenient reached from all parts
of the city.

The Argus congratulates the Presbyterians on the happy prospect for their new
building, and we also congratulate the community at large on the prospect of
this certain acquisition to our growth.
