This Association is composed of fourteen churches, having a membership of 1359. The letters from the churches report 134 Baptised during the past year. Received by Letter 28. Dismissed by Letter, 44. Died, 8. Restored, 12. Excluded 51, which makes an increase over last year of 47 members. It appears from our minutes that we have among us fourteen ordained ministers of the Gospel; two of whom, Elam Grizzle and George Graden, are, by the infirmities of age, not able to preach; leaving us eleven active laborers in the vineyard, and of these two or three spend the larger portion of their time without the bounds of this Association.

      We give below the names and post office address of each minister of the Campbell County Association, and their places of preaching as far as we know:

Elder ELAM GRIZZLE, Canton, Kenton County, Ky. - Does not preach.
Elder GEORGE GRADEN, Alexandria, Ky. - Has no church.
Elder JAMES SPILLMAN, Cold Spring, Ky. - Is pastor of Alexandria, Licking Valley and Bethel Churches in Campbell County Association and North Fork in Union [Association], and preaches at some other points occasionally.
