the churches at different times, an
Mr.. |. G.. Rowland has hive OF thes
ce bees that swarmed and settled on
az a. tree in the church yard this summe
,lo h These Baptist bees are good worker
NC and they never bother anybody.
W doubt they feel as much at home
he h3e the church as any OF its member
u 1t ia not known where they can

aaIh ah panv are remodeling the front
H. H. their large department store, al
ne when the work is completed it W
us present an up to date and attractl'
lie anDearance. The wooden beam b
tween the first and second floors is b
.ha ing taken out and replaced with
.rv steel one, and from this a marqui
re shade of glass and steel will be su
mo- nended before the hot weather in tt
eW spring. At present the prismat
nm and plate glass front will be the on
the addition. The plate glass will
ces tend to a base eighteen inches fro
the pavement, which will conta
wire glass panels to give light to t
Ltie basement. The show windows "
ma have parquet floors and be cell
