SEMI BUILDING
The Georgia Milling
broke dirt last week for the erection
ot oil-engine a threshing room adjoining their
room on Railroad Street,
Eust. A concrete floor is being laid
and brick walls raised. Mr. T. S. Har
ris, manager of the Milling Company,
says this threshing room is designed
to be more of a convenience to their
patrons than a source of profit to the
company, as it will enable
field to bring their grain right from
to the mill and take home
flour. He thinks this will encourage
the planting of larger acreages of
wheat in this section.
The two bungalows being built by
Mr. J. W. Woolfolk on East Main
street opposite the Fort Valley Lum¬
ber Company's yard, and between the
residences of Mrs. M. L. Skellie and
Mr. C. C. Robinett, are nearing
pletion. and Mr. Woolfolk has begun
the construction of another bungalow
on Troutman Ave.
The attractive new residence of
Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Harris, on East
Main Street, which is being built
around the old residence which was
ready partially destroyed by fire, is nearly
for occupancy and they expect
to move into it in about ten days or
two weeks.
The residence will contain nine
rooms with two complete apartments,
with separate halls and baths, and
will contain every modern conven¬
ience. It has been especially design¬
ed for a Caloric pipeless furnace.
The front is of ratinet brick, with
a porch twelve feet wide extending
entirely across, with steps entering
from the porte cochere at the west
end, and a combined driveway and
walk. Mrs. Harris quotes Miss
cially as saying that this porch was esjie
designed “for four tables * of
rook.’’
Ye editor caught Mr. and Mrs.
Haris Saturday morning busy
ing shrubbery and flowers, some of
the latler. planted some weeks ago, l
alreadv being attractively in bloom. !
Good progress is being made on 1
the handsome bungalow of Mr. and
Mrs. George Wright at the comer of
Miller street and Central avenue,
This is going to be one of the
places of the city. -

LAST WEFK’S DEVELOPMENTS

Developments cf the past
have dispelled much of the optimism
heretofore felt by the orehurdists of
this section with respect to the ef¬
fects of the late eoid spells and exces¬
sive rains.
A number of orchards, particular
of young trees, which bloomed heav¬
ily have been found to be entirely
devoid of signs of fruit.
Many trees in some orchards, es¬
pecially those on sandy lands, are
dying, and as many of these trees are
young ones just coming into bearing
**• means a serious loss to the grow
ers - This trouble is reported most
extensively from portions of Craw
ford County and around Lizella in
Bibb County. Local orchardist whose
opinions are based on the most suc
this experience do not attribute
dying of the trees to the hue
freezes but to souring, due to the re
teution of moisture from excessive
ra ins by sandy lands with hard-pa n
sub soils.At the same time they ud
that since this souring of the

Possible that it may be due t 6 a new

i of every Baptist iu Georgia at

terested Baptist in the entire South,
j Georgia Baptists led the Baptists
the Soutli in the amount subscribed
above tlie original quo;a. This chal¬
lenge which the Baptists of this state
made to their brethren of the
states has proved a spur for the host
of Southern Baptists and was a factor
in carrying the final subscription to
more than $90,000,000, The fine ex

Dr. Cree Encouraged by Reports.
Dr. Arch C. Cree, secretary-treasurer
of the Georgia Baptist Convention,
states that he is encouraged with the
reports of the last few days. The in¬
fluenza and the prolonged had weath¬
er have worked together to defeat
much of the effort of January ami
February, especially In the country
churches But with the coming of
betier weather and the improved situ¬
ation with regard to the influenza,
the reports have shown a decided ac¬
tivity on the pari of the leaders every¬
where. Dr. Cree is stressing the im¬
portance of making every service
count. Only five Sundays remain for
the round up and there is much to do
if we finish the year in the most suc¬
cessful fashion.
In order to meet the demands of the
short period left for the first year, and
realizing the importance of making
the first year take care of one fifth of
the pledges, a number of plans are un¬
der way to speed up the machinery of
the associations and churches. Lit

The evangelistic services in prop
ress at tbe Methodist Church coi
tinue to increase in fervor. In h
more recent discourses Rev. Arthu
Mo,ore has severely arraigned th
more specific evils common to ever
community, paying his respects par
ticularly to the modern dances and
styles of dress.
There were four services on Sun
(iay , , oef'mmn^ . . with ...
’ a sun-rise pray

vice the Sunday School class room
to be opened to accommodate th
"
^ lar,?e con ^ re Kation ,• which , • , overflows
tbe main church auditorium and the
Sunday School auditorium. At th(
3:30 p. m. service both the main au
ditorium and annex were filled. The
night service was equally well at¬
tended.
At the Sunday night service 75
persons raised their hands to indi¬
cate their desire for prayer, but none
went to the altar. At the Monday
morning service Mr. Moore arraign¬
ed the people for their pride, which,
he said, was holding them back from
a complete surrender to God. In res¬
ponse to a proposition to repentence
at this service the altar was filled.
The meetings will be continued
thru this week and probably next, i
with services twice daily during the ’
week, 11:00 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. j

This includes all money given since

already reported In full for the first

lions and have the funds In hand. It
is very important that this money be
forwarded at once to the office of Dr.
Cree in order that time may be saved
in getting the records ready for the
closing of the books on April 31.
The report of the first year will go
to the Southern Baptist Convention on
May 12. There will be a tremendous
volume of recelpis at the close of the
month of April and church treasurers
will lender a real service by sending
in all money at once.

II 11 PAVING
Good progress ;s being made and
work done of by the the very best character being
of Mr. A. construction department
J. Ewins in tbe side-walk
paving for the city,
The side-walk from J. C. Hartley’s
werehouse to the Knitting Mill was
completed last week and is an excel
j j e nt piece oi work, the grade having
been raised to prevent water staading
over the walk in wet weather as was
formerly the case. This si a boon
to the employees of the Knitting
Mill who formerly had to wade
through Lo mud and sometimes water
get to and from their work in wet
weather.
The north side of College street
has also been made one continous
stretch of concrete from Macon
street to Beauty Square, and this
paving will be continued on across
he school grounds to the west side
of Beauty Square, and on to the new
school annex. The surveyors began
Monday running the lines and grades
for the walk across the school
grounds on the College street side,
and the walks around the residence
of Mr. W. D. Murray were prepared
for the'cement. The work of laying
the cement was also begun on the
south side of College street beginning
at Green street and eomng towards
town.
it is understood that the work
will be continued as nearly as fea¬
sible in the order in which applica¬
tions are filed, although the effi¬
ciency with which the work can best
be handled in the various sections of
-.he city will of course be a deter¬
mining factor in the movement of
the force.
