long since realized the need for a
larger building. Many prominent
members of the congregation were,
on account of sentiment, attached to
the church, and there was naturally
to it's demolition. Mr.
Hewitt, by earnest argument, finally
succeeded in overcoming this opposi-
tion, having won over practically
every member of the congregation,
and all are delighted with the new
building, which is a credit, not only
to the congregation, but to the entire
city.

The Dispatch last week noted a
bloom exhibited by Mr.. Thomas Dee,
which was plucked on June 5, but
this came from Mr.. Dee's plantation
in Noxubee county, and the one re-
ceived from Mr.. Quinn was the first
Lowndes county bloom to reach this
Office. Mr.. Quinn is an old and ex-
perienced farmer, having been a ten

BAPTIST CHURCH
NEARLY FINISHED
Magnificent Edifice at Corner of
Seventh Street and North
Second Avenue Nearing
Completion.
The Organ is Being Built by the John
Brown Company, and Part of
the Furniture Has Been
Purchased.

Work on the splendid edifice which
is being erected by the congregation
of the First Baptist Church, at the
corner of Seventh street and North
Second avenue, is progressing rapid
ly, and the magnificent building is
nearing completion. If no unforeseen
delay occurs, the Sunday school room
will be ready in ten days or two
weeks, and Sunday school will prob
ably be held therein on the first Sab
bath in July. There is still a consid-
cradle amount of work TO be done in
the main auditorium, and this part
of the building will not be ready for
occupancy until late in the summer
The furniture and fixtures will be
in thorough accord with the architec-
tural elegance Of the building. The
organ, which viii be one Of the
handsomest in the city, is now being
built by the John Brown Company, of
Wilmington. Del, and will be ready
for shipment in about three weeks.
The instrument cost $4,000, and was
obtained largely through the genero-
sity of Andrew Carnegie. who gave
$1,000 toward the purchase price, the
remaining $1,000 having been raised
by popular subscription.
The pews for the new edif1ce were
purchased from Friedman & Co., of
Cincinnati, and are very handsome.
They are Of quarter-sawed oak, and
cost $4,000. The pews will seat l.
500 people, and in addition there will
be 500 chairs, giving the church a
total seating capacity of 1900. A
handsome carpet was presented 10
the congregation by the Hon. A. D.
Brown, of st. Louis, only a short
time before the old building was torn
down, so it will not be necessary TO
purchase new carpet. This carpet
will be ripped TO pieces, and remade
to fit the floor of the new building.
Included in the equipment of the
church will be a telephone. which
will be attached 10 the pulpit in a
position that will enable persons who
are unable to attend services TO sit in
their homes and hear the sermons
delivered by the pastor. The install
1ation of this telephone will call for
the expenditure of quite a sum of
money, as it will be necessary to have
a special switchboard at the ex-
change.
The manner in which the interior |
walls will be finished has not yet /
been definitely determined It was
the original intention of the building |
committee to have elaborate mural /
decorations, but If the work is done /
now it will be several months be-
fore the building can be made ready |
for occupancy. Both the pastor and |
the members Of the congregation are
anxious to get in the building as soon /
as possible, and for this reason the
decoration of the walls may be made |
an after-consideration
The credit for the erection Of the /
new church is largely due to the Rev.
W. A. Hewitt, the earnest, faithful
and energetic pastor. Ever since Mr..
Hewitt came here the congregation
has been continually growing, and he
