OLD BUILDING IS DIsMAETLED.
Workmen Are Tearing Away First
Methodist Church.

At an early hour yesterday morning
vorkmen began removing the furni-
ture from the First Methodist Church
building preparatory to tearing away
the old edifce, and ere this the work
of demolition is well under way.
And soon one of Americas ancient
landmarks will be obliterated.
The pulpit and pews were carried to
the auditorium of the City Hall, where
the congregation will hold services IN
til their new church is completed some
six or eight months hence.
A slight change in the location OF
the new building has been made and
it will occupy the site OF the old one,
though much larger in dimension.
The new building will face Lee street
instead of Church street, as at first pro-
posed.
The front will be some fffy or sixty
fe Il from Lee street.
The old church is only IS feet in
depth by 50 feet in width, whereas the
new building will be 118 feet deep by
- feet wide. With the Sunday schoo
annex and balcony the new church
will seat /, 100 or possibly 200 people.
1t will be one of the handsomest and
most commodious church buildings in
southwestern Georgia.

RATHER IN A DRAWER.
Negro Given a Terrible Fright By
Jokers.

The practical joker got in his work
here Yesterday morning with the re-
sult that the negro porter in drygoods
store was fairly paralyzed with terror
and knocked counters winding in his
mad flight towards the front door
That he wss not driven insane seems
short of mystery.
Someone killed a big rattlesnake at
Magnolia Dell Sunday, stuffed the
skin with sawdust, and yesterday
morning placed it in q drawer in this
store, containing shoe strings only.
4 confederate Of the joking clerk
came II and asked the porter for a
pair of strings. All the other clerks
were conveniently out OF the way.
The porter opened the drawer and,
without looking inside. placed his
hand upon the clsmmy rattlesnake
neatly coiled among the shoestrings.
For a second he stood paraIyzed with
terror, unable to either move or speak
Then his voice and legs came into
action almost simultaneously.
His shrieks could be heard a block
away while he executed q Congo war
dance about the store, knocking coun-
tiers and goods Unfortunately in his
frenzied desire to get away frow that
horrible stuffed rattlesnake.
And in the meantime the others were
greatly enjoying the practical 'joke. >"
