CLQrkSdGLe Church

CLARKSDALE, Miss, Aug. 7. (SpD
Sunday morning the Baptist people
of Clarksdale and Coahoma county will
worship for the first time in their
splendid new $4,000 church This will
be an occasion of far more than pass
ing interest not only to the Baptists
of the community, but to all Christian
people of the county, as the building
is such a great addition to the city.
1t is of red brick with Bedford stone
trimmings, the massive Grecian pillars
in front being topped with Ionic caps.
The interior of the church is modern
in, every respect, having II classrooms,
pastors study, ladies' parlor, kitchen
and dining room. The main auditorium
has seating capacity of $50 with ad-
joining Sunday school rooms seating
$50.
The congregation will hear specially
prepared and very elaborate musical
program Sunday. The sermon will be
delivered by the pastor, Rev. Martin
Ball. at the request of his church mem
bers, instead of by visiting divine.
To DR. Ball the church members give
the full credit for their attractive build
ing, as he not only sketched the plans
of erecting the edifice. DIR. Ball has
been pastor in Clarksdale for several
years He is especially well known
in Mississippi and in Masonic circles;
He is a grand high priest of the Grand
Achapter of Mississippi.
Before coming to Clarksdale he had
built seven other Baptist churches dur
ing his long and useful career as
Baptist minister.
The services tomorrow will be the
occa sion for general rejoicing and con-
CALCULATIONS among the people of Clarks-
dale for the opening of another one
of her several big churches built here
in the last three or four years. This
church is conceded to be the handsom-
est of them all in architecture, mate
rial, location and furnishings.

SAYS NATCHEZ MAY
BECOME OCEAN PORT

NATCHEZ, Miss, Aug. Z. (Splj-
H. Mel. Harding, consulting terminal
engineer of New York, who is here for
the purpose Of making a survey OF
conditions of the Natchez harbor and
giving recommendations on the estab-
lishment of river terminals, states he
is convinced from his Investigations
that If proper facilities are provided
Natchez can be made a port for ocean
bgoing vessels. Fifty years ago ships
were loaded with cotton and other com
modities here to be sent to Europe and
it is the opinion of the engineer that
at present the only requisite is the
providing of means for the speedy load
ing and unloading of the vessels.
The question of establishing river ter
minals here has been discussed for
some years past but up to the present
no definite action has been taken. 1t
is thought, however, that the enormous
increase in freight rates will do much
to speed up construction.
