WANT HIGH PRICE FOR CHURCH.
The members of the colored congrega-
ton who now attend the old Central
Methodist church, say that they will get
their own price for the building If they
are forced to sell it 90 the city. They
paid $4,000 for the church, and now want
the city to pay $500 for it. Only $1,000
has been paid on the church by the me-
sroes They are exceedingly anxious to
hold the building now, because they know
that the city wants to get control OF it,
as It is thought that the fact that the
old land mark being owned by negroes
will tend to depreciate the value of prop
