CHURCH TO BE DEDICATED.
Fulton Baptist Church Ready, and Oct. 3
the Day--Other Fulton News.


The dedication Of Fulton Baptist church
is definitely fixed to take place at the
completed edlace on Sunday. October Slst
Thus IS seen the result Of unremitting
labor on the part Of Rev. J. r. Harri-
son, the pastor Of the church. and of
the several societies belonging to the
church, one alone doing the well-nigh
impossible task of collecting the sum OF
$1,000 for the purpose Of furnishing the
church, which the society referred to has
about finished the collection Of.
This society Is none other than the
Ladies' Aid Society. Less than two
years ago Rev Mr. Harrison took charge
of this church. at which time only the
basement room had been finished, and in
which services were held the auditorium
above having been left in an unfinished
state.
Immediately on Mr. Harrisons arrival
fund was started 10 complete the un-
finished norton, and so zealously have
both the pastor and members labored
that the splendid result has been at

The auditorium has been completed, the
peWs put in. and few days ago Messrs.
Alfred Brown and j. Harry Lawder went

thinking of purchasing, instead OF pipe

TO be in readiness for the dedication.
