Col. j. H. Estill, president of the
Union Society, in his report will call
attention to the fact that because some
of the property of the society is now
without tenants the income of the or
ganization has been reduced, with the
result that the expenditures recently
have exceeded the income. He will
recommend that special efforts be made
to increase the membership of the or
ganization with a view of increasing
the income from that source.
The suggestion will also be offered
that 1t might be well in the present
emergency to reduce the number of
beneficiaries in the orphan house to
so or 100 and in this way reduce the
expenses so that they would be COW
cred by the present income. In the
school there are now a male principal,
two lady assistants and Ill pupils,
though seven of the latter are not in
mates of the home.
Col. Estill will express the hope that

Uncle sam Is Among City's Debtors
for Paving whitaker street.
Three assessment rods for the paving
of streets were passed by Council last
night, and the city treasurer was in
structed to send bills at once to the
abutting property owners.
The city has already paid out the en-
tire amount of these paving bills, but
the property owners will each have to
return his proportionate part.
Among the property owners to whom
bills will be sent is the United States
government for the paving Of Whit
aker street by the postoffice. If this
bill is paid by Uncle Sam the city will
probably pave the two blocks on Presi-
dent and York streets.
The rolls passed last night were for
Whitaker and Park avenue and Aber-
corn streets. The bills are payable
thirty days after presentation. The
Abercorn street roll is only for the
paving from Park avenue to Henry, the
roll for the other portion of the street,
that was recently paved, having al
ready been passed.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
MAKES CONTRIBUTION
of $1,000 to Home and Foreign Mis-
siOns This Year.

siOns This Year.
At the services at the First Baptist
Church last night the pastor, Rev.
DR.. John D. Jordan, announced that
he had forwarded to Rev. S. Y. jane
son of Atlanta checks aggregating ST.
900.
This represents the contribution of
the church this year for missions. OF
the total amount $1,000 is for foreign
missions and $500 for home missions.
Though one of the largest contribu-
tions that has been given by any one
church for missionary work in some
time, the $1,000 does not represent the
total work that has been done for
missions by the First Baptist Church
this year. During the year sums of
a few hundred dollars each have been
forwarded to Rev. Mr.. Jameson by DR..
Jordan. 1t is probable that the total
amount contributed will be between
81, 500 and $4,000.
