Methodists to Build
New Sunday School

The congregation Of the local
Methodist church has decided to be-
gin the erection of a modern Sunday
school building right away on the
lot back of the church. The building
is to be two-story brick structure
and will be joined to the main church
building. This building, when com
pleted, will probably be the best
equipped Sunday school department
in town. This has been badly needed
for some time, as the Sunday school
has outgrown the present quarters,
and the congregation is entering into
the project with a zeal that insures
success.
1t is hoped to have the rooms
ready for occupancy by early fall,
and funds are now being solicited.
They expect to raise $4,000, but in
case they do not get quite that much
they will build as large building as
possible with the funds available.

Good Roads Meeting
Here Saturday P. M.

Hon. II. G. Garrett, member OF the
State Highway Commission, will ad-
dress the voters of Montgomery
county at the Courthouse Saturday
afternoon at 3 3:30 o'clock in the in
terest of the bond issue which will
be voted on May 2Sth. Mr.. Garrett
is thoroughly conversant with the
facts relative to the road question
and every voter in the county,
whether for or against the PROPOSE
tion, is urgently urged to be present
and get the facts first hand. 1t is
also hoped that it may be possible
for Mr.. Joe S. Boggs, State Highway
Commissioner, to he present at this
time, and he has signified his inten-
tion of being here il his duties will
permit. The question now before
the voters OF Montgomery county is
whether we will vote bond issue of
$25O,000 to be expended on thor
oughfares on which the State and
Federal governments will bear three
fourths of the cost, in other words,
whether we want one million dollars
worth Of roads bad enough to put up
$250,000, and thereby be perma-
nently relieved Of their maintenance
and upkeep. The Advocate is heart
ily in favor of the issue, but advises
all its readers and friends to come
out Saturday and hear Mr.. Garrett
and then form their own opinions as
to the merits Of the proposition to
be voted on May 28th.
