Our Spring Opening.

The time has come when you must think
about Spring Footwear, and we want you to
connect these thoughts with our stock and
store. Our preparations for Spring business
have been made on a very extensive scale with
view to offering buyers the utmost latitude of
choice in styles and prices, You will find our
stock adequately representative OF the best the
market affords, both in materials and styles we
are showing large line of Ladies'. Gents,
Misses. Childrens' Fine Shoes and Slippers,
and we guarantee our prices to be as low in
every case as the quality of our goods will war
rant. Prices must always be considered in re-
lation to quality, and the final test of quality is
actual wear. We are confident that the test of
wear will prove the actual worth of the goods
we Offer Before you make your Spring pur-
chases. we respectfully ask an examination of
our goods. If our stock and prices will not
make buyers, nothing we can say will win us
custom. A half hour spent in looking over our
stock will give you fair idea of the styles that
will be popular this season, and we can only
hope that il will be as much pleasure for you to
see as for us to show our goods.

GRACE-sTREET BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Congregation VIII Build n New
House of Worship.


At meeting of the Grace-Street Baptist
church congregation night before last it
was informally agreed that the present
church edifce should be torn down and a
new and handsome structure built upon Its
site.
A general committee on building, con-
sisting of twenty-nine members. has Deen
appointed, which has been divided into
five sub-cOmmttees--viZ., first, architect
and plans; second. finance; third,
executive fourth, committee on furni-
No architect has been selected nor
plans adopted.
The Committee on Site will as soon as
possible choose lot upon which to erect
tabernacle for temporary use while the
old building is being torn down and the
new one erected. Two sites fronting on
Franklin and Grace streets have been ex-
amined, and one of these will be selected.
This matter will be reported upon at the
next church meeting.
Nineteen thousand dollars have been sub
scribed to the church-building fund, but
ten thousand additional is needed, the
early subscription of which the commit
tee has not the slightest doubt will be
made by the members of the church.
The remaining 211, 900 Of the. $4,000
which it is proposed to spend in the erec-
tiOn OF the church the committee Will Dc
allowed to contract as debt.
This church has Sunday school OF $50
scholars. This large membership they
have no idea of allowing to dwindle in the
, fqierirn required TO build the church. and
for this reason particularly they will erect
a temporary tabernacle in the vicinity Of
the old one in which the congregation can
also worship. In addition to this the Grace
Street Baptist church already has in course

Colonel Henry G. Jones, General Charles

several other military officers were present
during the debate. Mr.. Lovenstein had
conference with them after the. adoption
