Soon, It Is Announced
Definite announcement is now
made that Hartwell Baptists will
erect a modern church building here
at a cost of not less than SIOO,OOO.
A campaign has been under way
for some months, but little publicity
was given the matter until the mat
. ter was definitely decided upon, and
* subscriptions reached a given point.
Rev. W. A. Duncan, pastor of the
Hartwell church, this week gave out
the information, which is perhaps
the most significant news item along
church lines the city has ever heard.
The new building will be erected
on the site now occupied, the old
building being razed to the ground.
It will be some 90 feet on Howell
street and extend back 140 feet or
more, having three stories.
i Large Seating Capacity
The building will be one of the
most complete church and Sunday
school plants in Georgia, having a
seating capacity in the church audi
torium for 900, and for 900 in the
various Sunday school departments.
It is expected that preliminary
work incident to the erection of the
new edifice will be started within
the next 90 days.
Building Committee At Work
' A building committee composed of
Vl crs. J. H. Skelton, Sr., Chairman;
Dr. W. I. Hailey, D. C. Alford, A.
N. Alford, F. T. Kidd, R. E. Mathe
son, J. A. W. Brown, J. E. Cobb, A
N. Page, I. J. Phillips, Jr., and Dr.
George S. Clark, Sr., and the pastor
will shortly submit a definite plan
to the church for approval by the
members and work will then begin.
Several plans by leading architects
are now under consideration.
The church will have a fine pipe
•* organ and other modern equipment.

“POWDER RIVER” HERE
ON MARCH 10 AND 11
The war pictures which are to be
shown by the Hart County Post
! American Legion at the Star Theatre,
I on March 10 and 11. promise to give
j theatre goers a thrill that even D.
Iw. Griffith’s master productions
! have been unable to register.
These pictures are the only official
i and authentic ones that have ever
been released by the U. S. War De
partment at Washington, and are
shown only by Veteran Organiza
tions. These were all taken in France
by the U. S. army signal corps, and
have been assembled so that they
form the complete history of Amer
ica’s part in the World War. Every
division that saw real service in
France is shown in action against the
Germans.
Many of our local boys who were
with the A. E. F., are clearly seen
■ doing their bit in the fight for the
freedom of the world.

Georgia Baptists To
Gather In Atlanta
On March 18 -19
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 25.—One thou
sand leading Baptists of Georgia are
expected to attend the state-wide
meeting of Baptists and ministers,
which will be held at the Baptist
Tabernacle on March 18 and 19, for
the study of evangelism and steward
ship.
This is the first meeting of this
nature held in Georgia by the Bap
tists for several years. The Baptist
Bible conference has been providing
a midwinter assembly for the state
for a number of years, but the con
ference will not be held this year,
and this meeting of ministers and
laymen is arranged to supply some
thing in the way of inspiration and
fellowship for the year that lies
ahead.
In planning the program, chief at
tention has been given to emphasis
upon the practical tasks of evangel
ism and stewardship. There will be
four sessions, beginning Wednesday
evening, March 18.
Ben S. Thompson, of Madison, is
chairman of the state executive
committee of the laymen’s move
ment in Georgia, and it is under the
auspicies of this committee that the
March meeting is being held. Mr.
Thompson will preside at the ses
sions of the meeting in Atlanta.
Hon. Steve Skelton, of Hartwell,
is a member of the laymen’s exe
cutive committee.

mated at slightly over $2,000,000.00.
Prospects are brightening up for
the 1925 crop; fertilizer is beginning
to move, and things are astir all over
the county as preparations get under
way for another big year.
Hart county, being populated by
a people of determination, never
gives up, jind while other counties
have laid down their arms, this sec
tion has forged ■ ahead with results
that give encouragement to the most
pessimistic.
Hart is going after the weevil
again this year in another winning
battle.
