tective association more explicit, a

Murray. KY. Feb. Is. Especial y
Farmers and business men alike are
anxiously awaiting the outcome OF a
conference .onorrow between Off
Gals OF the tobacco association and
buyers for the Imperial company, for
II an agreement Is made as to prices,
1t is believed 1900, 900 pounds of the
1908 tobacco will be sold and the
growers will get their money as the
tobacco is delivered.
The association is represented by
w. b. Blakenlore and the Imperial
buyers by John Hodge. II the deal is
made the large Downs warehouse will
be utilized in redrying and handling
the tobacco.
This Is the first year that a large
amount of tobacco, suitable for the
English trade, was ever grown in
Galloway county, and this was caused
by the dry season. Since the quality
of the 1908 crop became known, hun
dreds of samples were brought TO
Murray and the English buyers re-
quested to come and examine them,
which they are doing today.

BAPTIST CHURCH
SUFFICIENT FOR
NEEDS IS LACKING
AS Congregation Overcrowds
Auditorium DeacOns Dis
cuss Edifice.
May Extend Present Building
to Property Line.
WEST END CHURCH CONSIDERED

Another move is on foot among the
members of the First Baptist church
for the erection of a new church or
for the enlargement of the present
building at Fifth and Jefferson
streets. Nothing definite has been
done in either step. but the question
is live one in the congregation, and
the deacons of the church have con-
sdered 1t. Owing to the large mem
bership and the large attendance at
practically every service, 1t is impera-
tive that something be done towards
seating the congregation.
The church is one of the Oldest in
the city and the only church with the
main auditorium on the second floor.
The church has been In use since
1866, having been used before the
Civil war as a hospital. 1t is still in
splendid condition, as far as safety Is
concerned, but 1t Is merely a ques-
ton Of seating the audiences. The
pastor, the Rev. NJ. e. Dodd, has sug-
gested thee plan of extending the
church in the rear to the property
line, which would make the church
about 30 feet longer. Some members
oppose this plan, as the contention is
that the church would still be an old
one.
Aside from the undetermined ques-
ton OF building a new church, the
location can not be decided on. Many
members want new church erected
at the present site. asserting that it
will be better located. Other men,
bers want new church built in the
western part of the city. Several ex-
|cellent locations have been suggested
as appropriate for the new church.
Still another plan advanced is for the
present church building to be in
creased In size, while a new church
is built in the western section of the
city.
The difficulty of seating the congre-
cations has reached the officers of the
church, and doubtless something will
be done In the near future. At spe-
cial services, and frequently at the
regular services, II has been neces-
sary to place chairs in the aisles to
seat congregation, while others have
been turned away, owing to the lack
of seating facilities. The placing of
chairs in the aisles is disapproved by
the officers Of the church, as in case
of a panic or fire 1t would interfere
with the egress Of the members.
