Jordan’s New Church.

The first church building in Jordan Tp., is making good progress. The foundations are laid and the frame will probably be raised this week. It is a mile north of Union and a mile south of Raymond sohool house. Also a mile east of the Newton county line. The Methodist Protestant people are building it. It will be a good, substantial and tasteful building, and will cost, including the work, which is practically all donated, about $1,200. Still another church is said to be projected in Jordan. If built it will be located at the Welch cemetery ana near Egypt school house. It will be a union church, for the use of all denominations, but the Universalists are at the head of the movement for building it.
