Interested in the subject of city mis-

city have had the matter laid on their
hearts for some time. ard it has come
to a point of realization at last. The
outline of mission work given below

others who desire to do soto cooperate
with us on any and all lines of our

We will begin with gospel meetings

BUILDING PROSPECTS.

Much Done in Augusta.
Ia Addition to Two large Buildings There
viii % Others.

The constructors of buildings, the
masons and carpenters, and all whose
livelihood depends largely upon this i'm
portant branch Of work. are feeling
very much encouraged over the pros
pecSs for the coming season.
III Is early yet. I" said an extensive
contractor to journal reporter in
reply TO Questions, ~but the indica-
tons certainly point to a busy season
for, ,usran unusually good one. Last
year it was rather below the average.
This season promises to make up for
lest timer 4Ralas3 ~ Pa.
There are two buildings to be
erected in the city which will require
much labor. They are the new school,
house on Capitol street, and the boiler
house and coal pit for the insane hos
pital. The schoolhouse will be built
of brick, and will employ a good sized
crew all summer. The carpenters, of
course. will find plenty of work on the
interior.
THE boiler house and coal-pit at the
hospital will be largely of iron work.
but will entail q considerable amount
of labor for the masons and carpenters.
"Then there is the addition to the
Industrial school at Hallowell, and also
the brick building to be constructed at
Togus, both of which are so near Au-
gusta that it is practically the same as
if they were included in the city
limits" .s9Ao -5-9 All sd5 &gifuh 90
Twill there be many private build,
ings, residences. barns, etc. erected this
season." was asked.
In addition to the above, n number
of private buildings viii be erected.
Frank c. Harrington will build fine
house at the corner of Bangor and
Willow streets.
Wilbur Percival will raise the build
ling on Northern avenue, which he pur-
chased to use as a store, and put in a
basement, thus making a fine dwelling
house.
A. D. Ward will build at the corner of
Melville street and Western avenue.
A. P. Sabine proposes to have new
house and stable built at the corner of
Murray and Pearl streets.
A number of others will doubtless be
built later in the season.
