 The Baptist Church at this place have a long time been contemplating the con- .struction of a new house of worship. The move has lately been given a new impetus by the faithful work of their pastor, who has secured pledges and money to the amount of about 5000. He thinks that $6.000 or S7,0Oo can be readily raised which will be 8 sufficient amount for the construction of the church. The building will be placed on the lot where the old church is but not on the exact site of the old church. The lot is a beautiful one about 200 yards south of the public suuare. It was given to the church by Uncle Moses Mathews. an old citizen who was 95 years of age at his death, He has many descendants and kin through Alabama and Texas. The building will be of brick and of the latest architecture.

Johnston Writing Letters.

Said prominent.polltician to your cor respondent yesterday:
 Did you know that ex-Governor Jo- seph F. Johnston was writing letters around over the State asking the advice of those that he thinks are with him. who, in their opinion. his faction of the party should run for Governor against Governor Jelks? We'll, 1t Is a fact. I am of the opinion if Governor Johnston gets enough favorable answers that he may decide that he is the man to run, and he may go back into politics and try to win out. Of course if he could have induced Col Ed Russell to run, he would have been delighted, and would have used that popular citizens paws to pull his political chestnuts out of the fire. But Colonel Russell was too smart to be caught in such a trap. He did not pro- pose to sacrifice himself on the altar of forlorn hope at this stage of the game.
 'T hope Governor Johnston will con- clude to run. We fellows down here in Dallas and throughout the Black Belt would like to get another whack at him Governor Jelks will do him up just like Senator Morgan did. I think he will be too weak to carry but a few counties. After the Honorable ex-Governor is struck by one or two more political cy- clones he may conclude that he is back pumber. I had rather see Johnston run against Jelks than any other man in the State. He would be pie for the gall lant young Governor from the banks of the Chattahoochee. What old Dallas would do for Joe Johnston in a race of that sort would be a plenty"
