Thyatira Church
The Jackson Herald, Feb. 6, 1908

   The people and pastor of Thyatira Presbyterian church want to sincerely thank the people of Jefferson and of the surrounding country, for their exceeding kindness in giving such generous aid to help repair Thyatira church building.  The new and handsome roof is on, and it looks so nice that we feel that we must paint it to have all things in keeping--one with the other.  We heartily thank the people of the country and of the town; also the contractor who ordered material and gave liberally; also the Cortright Roofing Co.
   We were made very glad by the ready response to our call for help, showing in such a substantial way the real interest that the community must have in us.  We realize anew the truth of the saying, "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
   Pastor and People.

Dry Pond Church
The Jackson Herald, June 18, 1908

   The church here is one of the largest and most comfortable houses of worship in North Georgia, but the membership has been hindered from aggressive work for three years because of a rather heavy debt.  Rev. J. D. Turner planned to lift the debt on the fifth Sunday in May.  His people were in full sympathy with him in this effort, so, after the morning sermon a collection was taken and pledges were made that will lift the burden and turn the church loose for a forward move along all lines.  Dry Pond is in the midst of one of the best farming sections in Georgia.  The people are neither rich nor poor, but have a plenty and make it themselves, and are blessed with the true spirit of country hospitality.  Rev. Jeff D. Turner, their pastor, is a southern gentleman with sense, industry and religion, whose ministry is a benediction to whatever charge he serves.  Dry Pond church is on the Maysville circuit, and the charge will make a good report at Gainesville. --Wesleyan Christian Advocate
