COLORED FOLKS TO IMPROVE
| CHURCH
The trustees of the Bethel A. M.
E. Church in Smyrna have caught
up in the general spirit of improve
ment and at a late meeting decided
to carry their church through
some radical changes to make it
conform to their present needs and
wants. Heretofore the audience
room has had to serve the purpose
of everything. This they wish to
avoid, and to do so they have de-
cided to put in a basement. This
will be done by sinking it below
the surface and elevating the pres
ent floor four feet. The entrance
to both rooms will be through a
new, brick vestibule. The pews in
the new audience room will be ar
ranged to give an aisle in the cen
ter and smaller one along either
wall, instead of two aisles as at
present. They want to commence
the work as soon as possible
IKENTON BOYS STILL MISSING
Last Wednesday two brothers of
Q. c. Short, residing west of Ken
ton. who are mutes, went out
chestnuting got lost, and so far as
we can learn, have not yet been
found, though they were seen at
different times last week not many
miles from their home. One Of
them is nineteen and the other
twenty-one years of age, but they
have been afflicted from their
birth, and the fact that they can
not talk and make their wants
known or answer questions, even
if comprehending what is said to
them, leads to difficulty in secur-
ing them for their home, which
they had never been allowed to
leave before They were seen sew
eral days ago near the Alley Mills.
1t is hoped that they have been
found and returned home ere this,
as they must have become great
sufferers, from exposure and hung
er.
