ed and the uppermost thought in their

undertaking" And after a careful
study they have reached the conclus-
ion that now is the time, and feel
rully able to cope with the building of
this new place of worship, which when
finished will be a credit to Hatties-
burg and lasting tribute to those
loyal members who have the courage
to go forward in the undertaking. Dur

has had submitted various plans from
different architects throughout the
country, and every detail connected
with them has been gone into thor.

Drago, an architect of New Orleans to
finally furnish the plans which the
building committee adopted.
The proposed new church will be
located at the corner of Main and
East Fifth street. The church will
have a concrete foundation rising
four and half feet to the floor level
There will be entrances on both Main
and Fifth of like nature. Massive

Her appetite is greatly improved and
she has gained weight. / wish every

Nothing can possibly be more i'm
portant than the health of children
and that is why we earnestly advise
the use of Vinol in all cases where a
child is weak, pale, run down, has a
cough, or poor appetite. We have
seen it make so many children strong
and rosy that we believe in it.
Children take Vinol eagerly because
it tastes good and it puts new strength
into their little bodies. We guarantee
Vinol to give perfect satisfaction and
give back your money if it does not
