CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR BROOK.

Brook Reporter: At the beginning of this week the Catholic congregation iu the town and vicinity, started a subscription paper to see if money enough could be raised to build a church edifice here this fall. They met good success and considerable over SI,OOO was subscribed in three days, with the promise of more, which insures the erection of the church. The church will be located on the north side of town, near the school house, where property has been purchased. The members have not yet decided what kind of a church will he built, but if money enough can be raised a brick will be built, and if not, a frame structure will be erected that will cost about $2,500. Rev. Father Belstein. pastor of St. Anthony’s church at Dehner’s will be the pastor. Work will begin on the church some time next week if all arrangements can be made.
