GA., FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1909.
as Very favorable, owing to the
extremely low price of materials
just at, this time, which makes it
a very opportune time to start the
work. Just now the building can
be secured much cheaper than at
the ‘ime the plans were prepared.
The new building will be
strikingly handsome, modern in
all arrangements and a credit to
the Baptist congregation and the
entire city.
The Enterprise presents here¬
with a picture of the new building
the cut being made from the ar¬
chitect's drawings. It will give a
splendid idea of the appearance of
the building when it is completed
and ready for occupancy,
Spirit in the Sunday School.”
This provoked an intensely^ inter¬
esting discussion.
At II o’clock Rev. C. C. Carey
preached a truty consecrated ser¬
mon on “Intercessory Prayer”
and its influence on mission fields
and missionaries, whieh proved to
be very helpful to the occasion
Tuesday afternoon the Lay¬
men’s movement was the program
and tbe meeting was in charge of
Prof. M. T. Peed, of Oxfoid, who
spoke enthusiastically of the work
of the laymen. Mr. J. L Chuck,
of L’.thonia, also made a powerful
address in connection with the
: great movment.
j “The Importance of Early Col
lections for Missions” proved an
interesting theme for a discussion
which was led by Rov. W. H. La
Prade, Jr., of Oxford, and partici
pated in by Revs. H. F. Branham,
j D. B Cantrell and W. D King.
j Tuesday evening Rev.W. J. Cal
lahan, a returned missionary from
Japan, gave an illustrated lecture
o i Jupau, but owing to the heavy
rain the attendance was very small
and the lecture was repeated Oil

STAND FOR
GOOD ROADS
Mr. R. L. Cowan, of Rocky
Plains district, was in town yes¬
terday, and was a pleasant caller
at this office.
Mr. Cowan and the people of
his district are greatly interested
in the good roads question and
they are laying plans for some
very effective road work in that
section in connection with the
county commissioners.
It has been suggested that com¬
missioners call a mass meeting to
be held at the court house on th e
22nd to discuss the good roads
movement for the whole county.
It is very proDable that this call
will be mad6, and if so the move¬
ment will be given a greater im¬
petus than ever.
There Is widespread and in¬
creasing interest in this matter
and tue result will be a great bet¬
terment of the Newton county
roads from this time..forward.
Hurry it you want to take aa.
vantage of our offer of the Wo¬
man’s Home Companion aud The
Enterprise for $1.50.
Sock Party

occur next Saturday will be the
Sock Party at which the Juvenile
Missionary society of the Midway

dence of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Clark
from 8 to 5 o’clock.
Mr. James P. Sain has returned
home after spending some time in
south Georgia for the benefit of
his health. His host of friends
regret the trip was not as benefi¬
cial as was expected.
The county board of education
held its regular meeting. The
business was purelv of a routine
nature and the session was there¬
fore brief.
Thursday night, Ii was higblV
appreciated by all who were so
fortunate as to bear it.
The attendance upon the Insti¬
tute was good. Dr. C. E. Dow
man, presiding elder, and R-v.
H. M. Qaillian were attentive to
the visitors, and tbe success of the
( meeting is largely due to their ef¬
forts and thoughtfnl preparation
and attention*
