Will Come Back to the Old Town for Permanent Home.

Rev. and Mrs. Charles W. Postill have never lost sight of good old Rensselaer, no more than their old acquaintances here, have lost sight of them. They have lived in four or five good towns during his ministry and he has been going up to larger and more important fields, but he has not yet found a place that looks so good as the old town where both spent a considerable period of their youth. Charley has a good farm near Rensselaer and he has both added to this and improved it until it is one of the best farms near thjs city and he is now in shape so that he could retire if he chose to do so and could take things with comfort the remainder of his days. But he does not want to leave the ministry for a time yet and will do so only because of his failing health. Tuesday Rev. and Mrs. Postill came to Rensselaer to look over several pieces of suburban property with a view to buying and the day was over they had interested A. C. Pancoast and together they had purchased of H. R. Grow the tract of land on North Main <reet, directly north of the Grow residence. There are 6 lots, 75 by 180 feet in dimensions in the tract. Three of the lots front on Main and three on Franklin street. The tTact will be split east and west and each will have a frontage of 112% feet on each street. Mr. Pancoast gets the south and Rev. Postill the north part. Rev. and Mrs. Postill have already decided on plans for a new house, which they will erect next year. It will be of semi-bungalow style, and will Oontain eight rooms with all modern improvements. Mr. Pancoast has not yet determined about building. He was not expecting to buy until he accompanied Rev. Postill to look at the tract. The price paid was $1,275, which makes the 75x180foot lots' cost $212.50 each, which looks very reasonable. Rev. and Mrs. Postill returned today to their home In Attica.
