Elder John D. Lee, writes from Rutherford co., stating that he had been laboring with success in that county, and had baptized upwards of thirty, in that and surrounding counties; had held five debates, with different ministers, and that the principles of Truth were triumphant. He had labored part of the time with Elders T. M. Edwards and Webster, and also states that the prospect is very flattering, and that he has more calls than he can fill, and requests one or more elders to go to his assistance. The people generally, are wealthy, industrious, and intelligent; kind and benevolent to strangers.
