The New Presbyterian Church.

The building committee of the Presbyterian church have designated D, E. Hollister to receive subscriptions for the new building. So far $5,487 have been subscribed toward the $lO,000 hoped for. The building committiee will meet Monday evening to decide on the plans after which work will be commenced immediately on the site of th'e old church and it is expected that the dedication will take place this fall or early winter. The Presbyterian people are pleased indeed to discover the warm support that is being accorded them by the members of other churches and by those who are not church members. This in fact is ihe reciprocation of like favors extended by Presbyterians to all the other churches when their buildings were being put up. Other denominations have good houses of worship and it is a matter of congratulation to the town that this church will be built on rjsuch substantial and modern plans'.
