Immediately after the accident and

New Steam PlOw.

C. E. Porter has received his
new steam plow outfit and is al
ready in the field clearing the
land and turning burrows. His plow
is equipped with twelve disk plows
and 1T is his intention to add four
more as soon as they be Sc
cured which will make total of
sixteen plows- This makes the
fourth steam plow in this vicinity
I Thrce are in operation and the
fourth laid up for repairs. All
four parties are rushed with work
and claim th-y have more on hand
than they can finish this fall
T his is certainly good indica-

BAPTIS1S WILL
BUILD CHURCH
A Beautiful ChurCn tdifiCe to Bt
Erected TO Replace Old Place
of Worship.

At the regular monthly busi-
ness meeting of the Baptist church
Saturday evening, Oct s, it was
voted to build a new church build
ing. The matter has been under
discussion for some time but
this is the first definite step
taken in the matter
For sometime the old building
has been too small to house the
rapidly growing Sunday school
and the crowded conditions make
it impossible to do the best
work. All the classes are in the
one room where there is scarcely
room to seat them, to say nothing
of having them seperate- The
evening congregations fill the
house and ventilation is extreme
ly difficult.
The present location of the
church is a very valuable piece of
property, on the corner of Elmore
and Atlanta streets Some dispo-
sition of the present church build
ing and parsonage will be made
and the new building will occupy
the corner No definite plans
have yet been made as to the char
acter of the new building but it has
| been stated that it will be along
modern lines of architecture and
furnished with every convenience
for promoting the work of the
church. There will be a kitchen,
dining room, library, an open
baptistry with ample conveniences
for candidate.
The fact that the lots were
bought, the old church and later the
parsonage were built when the
church had no pastor, together
with the fact that the church is in
q good financial condition and
has always met her Oblig ations
promptly, gives us ample assurance
that the work will move rapidly.

next thing was to turn out an in
IN construction, absolutely accurate
and OF mOdeate cost. He ran
levels and grades on his farm and
checking them found they were ac-
his bitches and the water made no
protest as to the grade.
The second problem to be solved
was the financ ing of his invention,
but this proved easy of solution.
en- thousand dollars were raised,
ten substantial business men OF
Mountain Home furnished the cap
1tal- The invention was patented
and its manufacture commenced
The next question was, would the
public take kindly to it. The fol =
lowing extract from the patent
Office encouraged the company a
good deal:
