The village of Richmond in
Franklin county has been without
the advantages of the gospel for
a number of years, and it occur
red to the residents recently that
it would be a good thing to have
the gospel proclaimed in that vi
cinity. Even the Salvation Army
and the Mormon Elders have
been passing by on the other
side. As an inducement, the
young people held a festival last
week which netted them $i)0
which they propose to spend for
preaching. A correspondent
writes Public Opiuion as follows:
"We arc not particular as to sect
or denomination bat as our treasurer-elect
says we now have fciiO
to pay out aud will pay according
to the preaching or service ren
dered. Ministers adjacent, not
over-worked, would do well to
keep an eye ou Richmoud.."
