GHRISTiAN CHURCH
TO ERECT PARSONAGE
The -members of the Christian
church of this city for some time
have had in contemplation the
erection of a parsonage here for
their minister on the church
property on Locust street, and
witli that idea in view they have
had a committee, consisting of
Major Hall, M. S. Hriggs and
Thomas Wiles, out looking over
the matter, and a suitable design
for the new parsonage. The com
mittee visited the residence
erected by the members of the
church at Murray and the design
of that cottage greatly impressed
them and they heartily entered
into the campaign to secure the
adoption of the plan for the erec
tion of a new home for the min
ister of the church stationed in
this city. At a meeting of the
official board of the church, held
at the church last evening the re
port of the committee was adopt
ed and the members of the com
mittee discharged, only to be re
appointed as one to take up the
work of getting the plans ready
for the new parsonage, as soon
as possible, and it is expected
that inside of a week they will be
able to have something tangiable
to work on in the way of plans
and specifications. The erection
oT a new home by the members of
this church will add greatly to
the appearance of their property
and provide a residence that will
lu suited lo Ihe needs of the. min
ister. The committee has in view
the erection of a six-room cot
tagebungalo and will work out
their plans accordingly.

Small Rainfall Last Night.
Last evening about 10 o'clock
there was quite a little shower of
rain for about half an hour and
the downfall of the dampness was
quite strenuous for a few min
utes and resulted in a large num
ber of auto drivers and their pas
sengers or guests getting well
soaked, as most of them had
taken advantage of Ihe pleasant
evening to take short trips out
into the country, ami were ac
cordingly not prepared for the
rain. The downpour, however,
was of short duration, and then
Ihe breaking clouds disclosed the
bright old moon.

THE BUSINESS MEN
Ci HELP IN KEEPING
THE STREETS CLEAN
It is quite noticeable where
when the street sweeper comes
along to rather up ihe dirt the
fact is that quite a good deal is
left along- the street near the
curl), where the broom of (he
sweeper fails to reach it, and this
naturally raises the question as
to how this could be remedied. If
the persons whose property is cm
Main street would adopt the plan
that has been tried with much
success by a few of the merchants
that of sweeping out a few feet
from the curb each time so that
the sweeper could grather up Iho
dirt without difficulty and it
gives the street a much better ap
pearance than if the dirt was al
lowed to accumulate there. This
matter has been mentioned a
great many timeson the street
and there has been several who
have made efiorts to remedy the
difficulty and assist the street
cleaning: department, but a great
majority have neglected to do
their part by sweeping" the dirt
out a few feet from the curb each
morning' in order that the ap
pearance of their places of busi
ness and the streets in general
might be improved. Such a move
as this would be an easy matter
and it would aid vastly in keeping
the streets clean.
The ladies of the Woman's Re
lief Corps were entertained yes
terday in a most delightful man
ner at the handsome home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. McMaken, in the
north part of the city, by Mes
dames McMcMaken, Eva Recce
and H. C. Miller as the hostesses
and these ladies, who are with
out equal in the role of enter
tainers, certainly gave the ladies
of the Corps a most enjoyable af
ternoon. For the occasion the
house was decorated most beauti
fully in lilacs, both while and
purple, and their beautiful colors
and delicate perfume made the
scene one of exceptional charm.
During- the afternoon (he guests
were treated to a most enjoyable
program, consisting- of instru
mental numbers by Joseph Mc
Maken, jr., and Miss Honor Sey
