most unique and complete buildings OF its
character IN this country. AS public market
alone it would be invaluable as a convenience,

entire tracks and Obviate pedestrian travel
across them 1t is asserted that in this way
only can the Whitehall crossing be remedied.
The plan has been discussed among some Of

at the Baptist Church last Sunday was Of a
most interesting character The pastor, Rev.
A. J. Beck, devoted the hour 10
a review Of the history of the Milledge-
vile Church, from its organization, in
the year 1909, down to the present time. 1t will
be remembered that the records Of the church
we're burned in the court house fire in 1883.
Hence Mr. Beck has had great difficulty in
state Of perfection. Fortunately, DR.. 5. G. Hill

a manuscript, which contained minutes, etc g,
and threw much light upon the early periods
of the church's history. The Baptists organ
lied the first church society in our city, and
theirs was the f1rst church building. It
was G framed building, without any inside
finish, and YVES for some time the largest hall

IrOup was invited to deliver q memorial ad-

was immense, and the misunderstanding was

outside might hear. The present church
