A City of Fine Homes.
Few cities in the South can equal

with Peachtree, College Hill, South
Savannah or any other residence sec
tion.
The home of Senator-elect West,
adorning a most beautiful and spa
cious lot, reminds one of the White
House in its august proportions. The
Converse brothers, nearer the busi
ness section of the city, have three
residences that remind one of the
heavenly mansious In their beautiful
symmetry and attractive architecture.
Mrs. Thigpen’s and the Briggs homes

Handsome Court Rooms.
The upper floor has tho court room,
jury rooms and offices of the city and
superior courts’ officers. The supe

elegant In the state. It is finished in
quartered oak, while .the halls and
corridors are paneled in marble,

in this city. Messrs. Conoley, Strick-

of steel, marble and oak to bring

Imposing Public Buildings.
Having begun at the home, the city
goes on and adds to its beauty in its
public architecture. Ruskin must
have impressed some early leader.
His dogma that everybody who under
takes the construction of any kind
of house, even the poorest, owes it to
thc public to build it as beautiful as
possible, has become tho orthodox
creed of tho Valdostan.

lie hospitality. Few houses devoted
to similar purposes aro as well adapt-
to givo the wayfaring man t a
pleasant home feeling. As you pass
it on the street its unostentatious si
lent story is: "That is a good place
for a stranger to feel at homo.” It Is
no wonder that it has become such a
popular resort in this section. Fortu
nate is that owner that ho has se
cured such competent managers. Ev
erything a traveler needs to make him
feel happy tho Valdes supplies. Cen
tral Is becoming the Pennsylvania av
enue of our South Georgia metropo
lis. On it stands the new court house,
just being completed, the public
school building In course o^erection,
and is to be the site of the govern
ment building, soon to bo constructed.
Lowndes’ Court House.
The court house is in every way
a most admirable building. Its style
appears to be a combination of the
Greek Corinthian and the Moorish,
has one mighty dome and four minar
ets. Its Interior has more of the mod
ern, and every comfort of tho county
business is amply provided. The pres
ent board of commissioners who are
completing the contract are Messrs.
McKey, Webb and Passmore. The
first named was a member of tho old
board and is chairman of the present.
He is a resident of the city and not
only sees the finish of the enterprise,
but enjoys the completion of tho work.
Of course, to him belongs much of
tho credit of this most successful
monument He has been ably assist*
City of Handsome Churches.
Go now to another stylo of architec
ture and you will flnd tho dwellings
and county houses equaled if not sur
passed.
Tho First Baptist church belongs to
Central avenue and ranks high up in
tho churchly appearance. It is a dou
ble story building—a magnificent base
ment for school, league and social ser
vice, a splendid auditorium for the
great congregation, a devoted, enter
prising membership of largo propor
tions, and better than all besides,
well equipped and popular pastor In
Rev. L. R. Christie, this great denoml
nation is at the front In every form of
progressive Christian work and oxer-
cises a telling influence on all this
section. Not only does it fully main
tain its own congregational needs, but
also freely supports the great causes
of the denomination and at the same
time keeps Rev. Mr. Thrasher In tho
homo mission field. Fortunately, the
inspiration of such a work and its re
alization in such a man.
The Methodists’ New Edifice.
The Methodists are Just entering
their rebuilt church. Its auditorium
cannot be excelled in Georgia. Its
proportions are splendid, Its tinted
walls, white pine finish celling, its
cathedral glass of raro beauty and ex
quisite taste, all make It one of tho
very best rooms for devotion in the
state. Some Alee Tempi© Shrlnors
will vividly recall Rev. C. A. Jackson,
now our devoted pastor. He is a man
of burning eloquence. Down in Bryan
it is a very effective house. It is in
the best style of Gothic art. Rev. Mr.
Wallace, a most intelligent and admi
rable gentleman, has begun what we
all feel is tekbo & most successful pas
torate with Ibis earnest flock.
Home the Presbyterians.
The Presbyterians have a very styl
ish church built of wood. Somo would
call it small. It is better to have a
full smallsiptise than a room so large
that even a good sized congregation
would make it seem empty. This con
gregation is not only full, but is ex
traordinarily responsive and intelli
gent In the hearing they givo their
preacher. But, then, this is explained
when I write that Rev. C. C. Carson
is that preacher. Enough is said ip
that statement to satisfy tho most
skeptical.
The Episcopalians have a small
wooden funding, but a pastor of tho
largest proportions of any in the city.
Rev. E. M. Skagen is a Norwegian by
birth, and a conversation with him
will always prove entertaining, as ho
has seen, thought and felt much at
the same time having his own quaint,
terse, 'emphatic way of putting
things. No smoothed bore man is Mr.
8kag|0n, and such men mak o one
think.

the*dty is well provided for. Ono of
its institutions is the Wymodausls
