"The sound of a church going Bell
These valleys and Rocks never heard."
This seems to have been the lot of the Church going people of our town until the present; the cause of this we know not, whether it was poverty, carelessness, or something worse. We are glad to know that the members of the Protestant Episcopal church have secured an excellent Bell for their Church in this place, we are informed that it weighs 600 pounds, and what numbers it will no doubt "Toll" to their last rest among the silent dead.
