SAD DEATH OF
JAMES P. SAIN
Mr. James P. Sain died Mon
day morning after an illness of
about two years from Bright’s
disease.
He was one of the most popu
lar business men in the city and
his death brought deep soriow to
the entire community. He was
regarded as a gentleman of the
highest sense of honor and integ
rity and his trienship was highly
regarded by all who possessed it.
Mr. Sain’s funeral occurred
Tuesday morning at the Presby
terian church, the services being
inducted in an impressive
ner by Rev. John B. Gordon,while
the ser\ices at the grave were in
charge of tiie Odd Fellows, Allot
the business houses of the city
were closed during the funeral
hour as a mark of respect to the
deceased.
The bereaved family have the
deepest sympathy of the commu¬
nity in their sorrow.
Mr. Ericsons old House.
, Go see it, it’s a beauty. It stands
out among all its neighbors, be¬
cause the coloring is so bright and
clear. Mr. Erieson painted with
L- & M. Paint and says it cost 1-8
less than ever before. He bought
only 12 gallons of L. & M. Paint
and 9 gallons of Linseed Oil to mix
with it. This made 21 gallons of
pure paint, and cost only $1 20
per gallon. It’s as handsome as the
finest in town. The L. & M. is
sold by J. R. Stephenson.
Rev. C H Jamerson, superin¬
tendent of the Orphan’s Homa,at
Decatur, preached at the First
; Methodist church last Sunday
!and his able sermon was greatly
| appreciated. The congregation
■ made a very generous cutribution
to the home.

MISSIONARY DAY;
ANNEX PAID FOR
The Missionary Day exercises at
the Midway Methodist Sunday
school Sunday afternoon were very
Owing to the indisposition of
Mr. Qu.mby Melton, who was in
charge of the music specially pre
pared for the occasion this
feature ha 1 to b> omi tied,
: Mrs. W. C. Clark and Miss Briscoe
rendered a duet which was very
appropriate to the occasion and
Mrs. John B. Davis delivered her
illustrated address on “The Morn
ing Star,” which was interesting
^ ,s r y !, f the several missionary
vessels sent out from this country
by the Sunday schools, together
with a comprehensive statementof
the great missionary work which
has been done in the islands of the
Pacific ocean. The address was
iistened to by the large gathering
with deep interest.
A lew weeks ago Dr. 0. W.
Peppler, the buperintendent of the
schools, asked the various classes
to raise a certain amount of money
to help pay the remainder due on
the Sunday school room which has
just been Completed and occupied ’
All of r the . i classes , made , their
re
ports and raised more than the
amount asked for. However,
there is still a blance due and the
audience Sunday afternoon made
a generous donation toward pay
ing this off, and it is believed that
within a few more days the nec
eesary amount will be raised.
Since writing the above Dr.
Peppier sends the following:
Annex Built And Paid For.
The members and friends of
Midway Sunday School will lean:
with great pleasure and satisfaction
that not only has the annex been
completed but the cost of it has
been fully subscribed, and all with
the exception of a small part paid
in. The last subscriptions a; d

last Sunday afternoon. This is
the culmination of a series of
efforts made by the School to pro
vide, separate rooms in which the
primary and beginners depart¬
ments could be given suitable in
struct ion apart from the older
classes. All the scholars entered
enthusiastically into the work, and
responded generously to the de
i. amis t nut were made upon them
from lime to time. The Annex
now stands as a monument to their
zeal and love for the Sunday
school, each brick represents a
sacrifice ... and self-denial

part of some one of their number,
and it is needless to add that the

Some Details.
IFrom the Bulletin.
On the 10th of February the Build
ing committee closed a contract with
; the Gresham Manufacturing company,
j of Griffin, for the construction of the
j new house of worship according to the
designs drawn by Bruce and Everett,
1 and exhibited here for some time
past.
The Griffin firm was represented b;
Mr. E. W. Beck, himself a membe
j of the. Griffin Baptist church; and th
Building committee was representet
by its executive committee, appointed
for the purpose, and composed of
Messrs. N. S. Turner, C- J. Norman,
and E, R. Pendleton.
After receiving dozens of bids from
the best builders in the state, negotia
; tions were begun with the Griffin com
pany and after two or three weeks we
reached an agreement, and the con
| tract was signed in duplicate,
1 This calls for the work to begin
i about the first of March, and the
com
pleted job will cost the total sum of
$11,799-00, divided as follows:
' Completion of the House fio.m.oo
Windows, plain (awaiting
individual Art Glass
Memorial Windows! sags
Haating
Partition Ulexible-estiintd.)
Architects lees
Hauling to be done by the
church C'JO.OO $11,799.00
The material agreed upon after
carefully weighing all the arguments is
select redbrick. This is the material
of the new Griffin Annex that is said to
be so beautiful. The durability is the
same in all, and it is simply a matter
of taste and money- We have aplenty
of the former, and expect to have !
plenty of the latter: All of you have I
heard of “cutting the garment accord¬
ing to the cloth” before!
We take it for granted that the
church and public need no statement
from the committee that we have done
the best for the church that could
possibly be done- We will have
when com P letcd as welJ equipped

k> neithtrt00 ,„ sc M t00 sma ll.

The plant when completed and paid
for will give the Baptists about $20,
000. worth of property, and this ought
to sound good to Covington Baptists,
and to the public generally, for it is a

Just one personal remark frem the
pastor to all—Church building is not
like private planning. The committee
is charged with the duty of doing the
best for all parties, and also of doing
what it can to make both ends meet.

TO ORGANIZE A

The Maeomc order in this city

the Commandry just as soon at
the plans could be matured.
The degrees will pubably be
conferred by the members of the
Commandry at Jackson. As soon
is the organization is perfected
iere quite a number of the Cov
ngton members will at onco go
ligher and ultimately cross the
jot sands and become Shriners.

of beauty and we hope, a joy forever.
There is nothing on the Georgia Road
that surpasses it. Wait and help, and
