Id for th« colored Vlrti Congregational There will be ■ library and reading room,
and an effort will be made to secure n Car-
fcetf for the colored First Cougregatlouul

| CTho new building will Incorporate the lw»t-
1 ter features of the old. Of this $25,000, the
•um of $10,000 will be raised In the North,
find this amount Is practically pledged when
the other $15,000 Is In sight.
Of the $15,000 to lx* raised here, tho eon-
irregntlon of the First Congregational and
Other colored people will pledge 912,500.
This will leave $2,500 of the needed amount
, to be raised among Pastor Proctor’s white
t friends. He wants twenty-live persons to
' give him $100 each, and he lias received ts-
S urances already from six of tho twenty-
T#.
On a Cash Baals.
The whole plau will bo on a cash basis,
and it Is proposed that when the church
Is completed that It will have no debt on
i t. It Is the desire to begin work next
uly. At that time It Is honed to have
l three-fourths of the amount In cash, nnd
! the balance In haud before tho structure
• Is completed.

•. Interesting features for the good of the col-
‘ ored citizens of Atlanta. The main ntidl-
■ tortur

This feature Is not assured as yet, how
ever. Pastor Proctor believes. he can se
cure u $3,000 orguii from Mr. Carnegie ai
a gift to the church when completed.
It ts designed to have sixteen class rooms,
so arranged that they can all be throwu
Into one great room. There will be a
gymnasium In the rear, the only one In the
city for colored folk. Another very excel
lent Idea will bo public bath rooms, ns there
is not a public bath for negroes in the city,
To Teach Cooking.
There will nlso he a model kitchen for
teaching girls how to cook, nnd a woman’s
parlor and baths. The pastor’a study and
office will be on the second floor.
When these plans are carried out, the
First Congregational will hnve one of the
finest colored churches In the South, com
bining features for the comfort and uplift
of the race not found In mnuy similar In
atltutlons.

EVER WATCHFUL
* Little Cart Will 8avt Many Atlanta
Rsadsrs Future Trouble.
Watch the kidney secretions.
See that they have the amber hue of
health.
The discharges not cxcessfV
frequent.
Contain no "brick-dust-like” sedi
ment.
Doan's Kidney PI Its will do this for
you.
They watch the kidneys and cure
them when they're sick.
W. A. Carey, of 75 Decatur street,
carpenter, says: "Backache troubled
ine so much for a long time that 1 was
hardly free from it for one moment,
day or night, and when I tried to sleep
the pains became worse and made me
feel Just ns though I was lying on a
pile of rocks. It hurt me so to move
about In bed that I would He there for
a long time before I gained enough
courage to turn over. The secretions
from the kidneys were very unnatural,
being full of sediment and hard to con
trol. 1 also lost a great deal of sleep
on account of the lack of control over
them. I used remedy after remedy, but
nothing had the slightest effect ^>n me,
and work became a burden unti i went
about more dead than alive. I was at
tracted to Doan’s Kidney Pills by an
advertisement in the paper and went to
Brannen & Anthony’s drug store,’ 102
Whitehall street (also 30 Marietta
street), and got a box. The use of
this remedy brought about a wonder
ful change. The pain has gone and the
urine has been natural and free. I can
go to bed and sleep all night without
being disturbed In any way and rise
In the morning feeling strong, well and
able to do any work as l did twenty
years ago. You are welcome to use my
name as a reference.”

COTTON NOT DAMAGED
BY THE LONG DROUGHT.
Special to The Georgian.
Dallas, Ga„ Sept. 8.—The protracted
dry weather has not damaged cotton
in this section to any extent. A ma
jority of the farmers report excellent
prospects for a large crop, while a vAry
few claim that the dry weather has
caused a deterioration of the crop. In
about a week Dallas will begin to re
ceive new cotton on the market.
8peo!al to The Georgian.
Gainesville, Go., Sept. 6.—Virgil Pass
and Miss Ida Gaines, both members of
well-to-do families In this county,
were secretly married by ’Squire D. C.
Whelchel on April 14 last. The mar
riage was kept a profound secret until
yesterday, when the license was turned'
In to the ordinary to be recorded.
COTTOn’mEN PROTE8T
AGAIN8T WIRE SERVICE.
Special to The Georgian.
Charleston, 8. C., Sept. 6.—The <
ton exchange men nnd Innmn & Co.
sent formal protests to the president of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
and to district managers at Atlanta and
Jacksonville against the Inadequate
service they were getting for their
cotton business.
The men’s furnishing goods announcement takes
on a tinge of autumn today. Looking fallward.
But intermingled with new things you’ll find some
reduced prices.
Not a thing against the garments we made specials
of except that they are broken in the run of sizes.
In weight they are what we term intermediate—
fall weights.
But as we say, sizes are missing.
Of course with you it doesn't matter how many
sizes are gone if yours is here—certainly worth while
to have a look.
And the new things—we believe we have gathered
some exceptionally good values.
Having the whole market to pick from and no en
tangling alliances with any makers in particular, we’d
be like scouts asleep on the trail did we not gather here
the best specimens of underwear, hosiery, shirts and
all the rest.
The experience of long years has been our teacher,
and we have not been letting our bucket down into an
empty well, you may be sure of that.
