preston brides were buying foods
20.5 per cent cheaper.
Items which look proSaic in the
printed word, but luscious on the
platter, such as sirloin steak, round
steak, plate beef and rib roast rose
more than any other commodity
as if anticipating the Chicago fire.
The food prices have risen in
sidiously, the United States bureau
of statistics shows. BY the very
one-hundredths of per cents, in
dividual items such as corn flakes
and lamb have revolted against the
low prices placed on them.
Such hard and fast conservatives
as cheese and eggs have shown no
inclination to better their lot, but
have drifted back few Slight
notches in price.
Such being the situation, it would
seem that cheese omelet would
be about the most suitable dish for
the bride to try for her first expert
ment, that is if she aspires to a
record for economy.

its founders Ebenezer A. NJ. T..
Church. which has afforded a place
of religious worship for the entire
community for three score years, Is
quietly observing its 61st anniver-

This staid old religious edifice
which for 81 years has withstood the
vicissitudes OF an ever changing
world has an historical background
that is as unique as IL is interest

From the pulpit OF quaint old

zeal and fervor from the souls OF
such men as Rev. Jeffries. its first

which have sprung from the moth

Ebenezer grew out OF Old Bethel
with a concordant spirit. A few
years after the close OF the civil
war and when Negroes were mi

many people bought and leased

the city. Finding themselves with
out place for religious worship In
the newly acquired section and
with no means of transportation by
which they could continue to go
down to Bethel church which was
then on old Champlain street now,

organize a church in their immedi-
