THE NEW BAPTIST CHURCH.
An Elegant and Modern Structure
Nearly Completed.

The new Baptist Church of Mex
leo is fast nearing completion and
will be done some time before the
first of September. The inside finish
of this church is hard wood and
makes an elegant effect. The cleo
trio light fixtures will be arranged
in clusters and some of the fixtures
will be very handsome. The church
is not only a handsome effect, but
modern in style and very commodi-
Gus. The seating capacity of the
church when necessary can be made
1000, and there will always be
seats for $50. The cost of the church,
including seats, &C., will be SIS 200
and We are satisfied that the build
ing committee is getting the worth
of the money. The members of the
Baptist Church of this city have a
right to be proud of the new church
and there are other congregations in
Mexico that we trust will 60 and do
likewise.

UNION SCHOOL HOUSE, July H.
Farmers are very busy harvesting
their wheat and oats.
Some machines run all day last
Sunday.
j. S. Atkins has a new binder.
John is one of our most ambitious
farmers.
1t is said that VIM. Mcintyre
has the best piece of wheat in this
community.
The oats crop is better than last
year; it is good.
Our corni is still head and shoulders
above the weeds and if we can only
have a few days of fair weather and
then plenty of rain the yield will be
far from a failure.
Harry Luckie visited home last
week. He has proven himself
quite a horseman.
Duncan and Green expect to
start out with their t~hreshing ma
chine in a few days.
People who think hat schooling
makes a boy use his usefulness as a
farm hand, can readily see the fall
lacy of their belief if they will only
look for examples. We can furnish
at least one. Luther Byrns attend
ed school in Mexico last winter and
the next day after school was out
he laid aside his standing collar,
neck tie, etc., and put on his
farmers garb, took hold of the
pillow handles and has done gen.
eral farm work ever since. He will
return to school this fall. School
ing seems only to add interest and
pride to his efforts.
Among the recent sales are the
following: j. Z. Green IA head O
