STRONG SENTIMENT
FOR NEW BUILDING
SHOWN At MEETING
MEMBERS OF FIRST CHRISTIAN
CHURCH ARE BEHIND THEIR
PASTOR.
COMMITTEES ARE APPOINTED
Close Canvass for Necessary Funds
viii Be Made and Then the Com
piete Plans for the Structure VIII
Be Made.

Overwhelming sentiment in favor of
building of new house OF worship
was indicated at the First Christian
church on Sunday morning and CON-
mittees were appointed to take up
the question of getting the necessary
funds for that purpose.
The congregation is almost of one
mind on the question of the desira-
bility of having new and more com,
modious church. They realize that
the congregation has outgrown the
present building and that it is no
longer representative of the power
and force and influence of the church.
In the course Of his remarks Sun
day morning DR.. Grover c. Brewer,
the pastor, made strong plea for
the new house of worship. He point.
ed out the reasons why the present
church was inadequate. The mem
bers Of the congregation proved them
selves to be behind their pastor and
a systematic canvass will be made
for the necessary funds. No plans
for the building will be made, how
ever, until the funds are all in hand
or there is abundant assurance that al
! the proper time they will be forth
coming. However, from the senti
ment as shown by the members Of
the church theris eonolnaoz .hyrauoni
the church there is no longer reason
to doubt the success of the energetic
| young pastors movement.

Gus Wright was shot once through

one shot was fired, Wright taking

lose his arm as the result of the
fight.
Some days ago Wright and Baxter
had words in regard to the latter's
passage through his farm. The quar-
rel was renewed Sunday morning
when they met. Baxter was evident

had no arms upon him.
The fight between the men was

time, as Baxter walked off after he

noon or night he was placed UNDER
arrest by Deputy Sheriff Howard
Lunn, who brought him to Taylor's

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 31.-The
April statement of operations of the

compared with April 1914. A de-

ing this reduction and the general
policy of retrenchment being prac-

shows a decrease Of $S3,70S.42. The
operating revenues for April were
$92S,931.03, the operating expenses
$7S9,94112 and the operating income

WILL BE FROM MAY 1 TO
JUNE is.
LICENSE IS NOW COMPULSORY
Cost Will Be One Dollar Per Year.
All Officers of the Law Are Made
Exotficio Deputy Wardens Under
the New Statute of the State.

Of interest to the lovers of the rod
and the line will be the changes
which were made by the last legisla-
ture in the fish and game laws of the
state. Some of them are very mate
rial, and of such a nature that every
lover Of this great sport should be &C.
Quainted with them.
By the new statute, hunters Ii
csnse is now compulsory instead OF
optional. A license to hunt In the
county will cost 81 per year, while a
state license will be double that
amount The cost of a nonresident
license is ten dollars.

new closed season on game fish will
be from May l to June Is Of each
year.
The act does not change of affect

The state warden, w. D. Houser
mas written to Oscar Glenn, suggest
ing that all sportsmen of the county
Should organize a game and fish pro.
lection club for the purpose of en-
forcing the laws with reference to

ton.
Secretary Ashley Sowell, of the

ed number of letters from mem

place for the meet to be held. One
member Of this committee of 1--WE, T.
@. James, Of Sharkey, Miss. is openly
In favor Of holding the meet here
and is using his best efforts TO per
suade the other members to a like
opinion. In a letter to w. T. Young
president and general manager of a
Nashville bridge company, Mr.. James
states that the choice Of Columbia is
largely matter of being able to pro.
vide proper hotel facilities and horses
for the hunters to ride after the
hounds.
There are number of fox hunt.
ers of the county who are very anx.
ious to have the meet here. John C.
Sowell, Ed Babb, and w. T. Fraser
are most active and are keeping up a
correspondence with the officers oil
the association in behalf of the coun-
ty.
These gentlemen are also enlisting
the support of the Board of Trade in
their efforts. While no money will
be required, yet their active, open
pledged support will be of material
assistance in getting the. fox hunters
to come here.
There is no doubt that there are
plenty of foxes in the county to pro
vide all the sport that the hunters
may want There are some that have
been chased for years and are yet un
caught. If the meeting is held here
there is no doubt that some of the
very best hounds of the whole coun

chase such as they have never had.
