CHURCH INTO HOTEL
OLD FIRST BAPTIST MAY BECOME
 HOsTELRY.
Purchasers of ola Property are Im' proving lt for Specific Plans, But Do Not Say
 What For.

Cook & Laurie. the purchasers of the old First Baptist Church, were granted a permit yesterday providing for changes in the structure to amount to the sum of sS,00O.

 Only a few weeks ago one of the best known caterers in the city condi- tionally leased the old church for the purpose of turning 1t into a first class ground floor cafe connected, but sad and unexpected death in bis family prevented this scheme from being put into execution.
 If was the intention of the hotel man to spend from $7,000 to $10,000 on the structure and turn 1t into the most beautiful and attractive hotel property in the South. part of his plan was to make each of the four sidewalk entrances the most beautiful beds of flowers in the South.
 The statement is made that the old church is being converted into mod ern office building but this plan Is not credited by those familiar with all the circumstances connected with its con- struction and location.
 Whatever the great old pile that has housed religious congregations since twelve years before the war may be destined to become In the future, the presnt owners are spending $3,o0O in its immediate overhauling and de- cline to state what it will be used for hereafter.
