Th« Plr»t and Second Presbyterian Paetors Among Those Still to Como —Other Ministers.

Most of the regular pastors of the Protestant eburehos of this city will be :n their pulpits Sunday morning, though a few of them will not be at home until the middle of September. Many of their members are atlll away at lakeside and seashore and will not return until the last week In September or the first week In October. Among the latest of the late arrivals will be those who have gone to more northern latitudes, where they will tarry until a stiff frost wilt give them assurance that they will not be attacked by hay fever when they return to their

accustomed haunts.

The Rev. M. L. Haines, of the First Presbyterian church, and his family are expected to return from their European tour about the middle of September. Next Sunday morning the pulpit of that church will be occupied by the Rev. W. E. Ble-

derwolf, of Monticello.

The Rev. Owen Davies Odell will return from England In time to fill his pulpit September It. There will be no Sunday services at that church until his return. He has written to a friend that though he has crossed the Atlantic eight

The only deal that has attracted more 1 than passing attention this week was Dr. light's purchase of the Dawson farm. | north of Broad Ripple. He expects to build a village of summer cottages. Another Ideal farm that is offered for country houses Is the Frank Johnson farm, near the State Fair grounds. Fail ' creek runs through Johnson's forty seres. | , and a number of families camped there , this summer. Fall creek is beautiful at j this point, and local real estate dealers have offered Mr. Johnson C3.000 for the 1 tract. He refused the offer. Mr. Johnson is now In California. He wants ItO.OUO for his farm. A number of dealers are after the Johnson tract for the location of summer cottages, but nona has been able to teach the figure. There has been a steady movement In real estate all summer, and the fall bustness promises to be brisk, although September opened quietly. The predicted sum- j mer boom failed to materialize. It la a Funny Business.
