EXPECTED DROP in

BUILDERS HAVE NO REASON FOR
LONGER DELAYING THEIR
7f''af CAMPAIGN. %'
HOUSES HERE BADLY NEEDED
Unless They Are Erected the City
viii Not Get the Advantage Due 1t
In the Next Census Which viii Be
Taken Next Year.

Those who have been waiting to do
work of construction for drop in
the prices of materials are doomed to
disappointment Not only has there
not been any decline in the cost of ma
terials that enter into the work of con-
struction, like lumber and metal and
cement, ect, but there have been in
some instances visible appreciation
of values. t. ...
Those who are contemplating con-
struction work, and in no section is it
more needed than in Columbia and
Maury county, had just as well face
the issue now and make up their
minds that there is not going to be
any appreciable decline. Columbia
needs today hundred new dwelling
houses and they are badly needed.
Next year the United States census
will be taken. Columbia is going to
be deprived If it's rightful showing
in that census unless the business
men get busy at once and erect the
houses that will be filled as soon as
they are completed. There are peo-
pie not only in the county but else
where anxious to move to Columbia
but they cannot come because no
homes are available for them.
Every vacant lot in the limits of the
city should have a home on it and
they would all be occupied, too. A
hundred new homes would mean 400
or 500 more people in the census that
will be taken next year. This city
made very unfortunate showing in
the last census. The population being
nearly 800 less than it was in 1900.
Give the people some inducement in
the way of homes to come here and
this loss will not only be made UP but
a substantial increase will be shown
In the population.

bly, the most gratifying that have ever
been made. Every department of the

carried to successful conclusion and
the prediction was made that the wo

year the largest sum their societies
have ever given to the cause of mis-
sions.
Among the big delegation that went
from the First Methodist church were
the following: Mesdames John M
Burns, Sydney s. Patterson, Jack
Oakes, Robert E. Nichols, A. H, Smith

noon sessions being held. At moor
the women of the Pulaki church
served an elegant buffet luncheon.
