THE FIRST CHURCH IN THE COUNTY.
Last Saturday was tho time chosen
by the people of Chase and vicinity for
the gathering to clear ground and lay
foundation for the first church in Lake
county. 1t Is being built by the Con-
gregational Society. The ground was
donated by G. w. Joiner, as also, the
greater part of the lumber. Nearly OF
quite all the material is ut hand, and
paid for, Hersey gives the pulpit; and
Rev. w. l.. Camp, the bell. The struct.
ure will be 24x42 feet, and an ornament
to the village where 1t Is located.

EDITOR SrAR:-rhinling perhaps u
few items from this locality might be
OF interest, l thought Iwould jot down
few ms they have presented them
selves to my mind:
The religious reformation that swept
over this community last winter has
produced good results; and where once
the sound of the violin and the merry
dance were heard, may now be heard,
the voices OF singing and prayer, as
cribing "praises to God in the highest,
and on earth peace and good will to
men," all working together for good
and nothing seems to disturb, except
when now and then some jealous ad-
vocate Of baptism as believed in and
practiced by the Baptist church, pro-
claims that his is the true and only
mode, aud the sound striking on the
ear of some equally ardent Methodist,
who thinks that the amount of water
will make but little difference II the
heart is only right, sometimes has a
tendency to stir up little strife; but
with due respect for others opinions
and patient forbearance toward those
who differ with us, all these things will
work no harm, we trust.
Dutamid all the excitement i'm church
matters, the festive "tater-bug" may
be heard these beautiful mornings, IA
he starts out for his daily labor, chant
ing his morning song after this style:
"Fe, 70, fy, fun, / smell the blood of
"Granger man," be he dead or be he
live, I'll chaw his vines ifI survive"
Mr.. M. o. Skccter who left these
parts late last Fall, has again returned
to this locality and taken up his abode,
with his family, OH the vacant railroad
land, and rs the family are of II low or
der of beings. and not likely to improve
the morals of our people, the profane
ones in particular, we would like it if
he (Pierce) would send up some of his
kid-gloved clerks and drive out the
trcspassers.
The death record for the past week
numbers two; the first, grandfather
Cobb, Mr.. y. a. Cobb's father, aged
cighty-two years. lie went down to
the grave like u shock of corn full v ripe
and fit for his masters use. The other
an infant daughter of Harlo and Cla-
rissa Byam, aged three weeks. Also
at Ionia, on the 9Th inst, Francis Rosa,
one of0ur former fellow townsmen who
recently sold his homestead here and
went back toihis former home, having
been there but few weeks, and being
sick only five days with inflammation OIL
the lungs. He died with the armor OH,
and we trust i, now rcaping the reward
of the faithful. How forcibly are we
reminded by these dispcnsations of
Providence, that in the midst of life we
are in death; and tho summons comes
home to each of us, he We also ready for
the time is short in which to do our
work.
We have been having plenty of rain
of late, and all kinds OF crops arc look
ing fine and promise an abundant har-
vest.
The political aspect has not yet de-
veloped itself up here much, but we
intend, to the best of our ability, tn
support the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention; and also all the others
who may have the honor ofcomposing
the body and the tail OF that kite.

trict has the honor of holding the first
two terms of school In the township
and Of erecting the first school house
The house is frame, 1Sx24, and cost
$500. 1t Is known rs the Cobb School
House. District No. 5 (Nirvana) er ect.
ed the next house, in tho year 1874, and
District No. ], one In lS75-known as
the Siggins School House. These arc
both frame buildings. No. has con-
tracted for frame house, and it Is
nearly completed. This will be known
as the Blanchard School House. No.
has the only log school house in the
town. This Is called the Howell Dis
trict. The schools have all been in
operation regularly since 1874.
CHURCHES
Are not yet erected; but there are two
denominations that have classes. viz:
United Brethren and Methodist Epis-
copal churches.
VOTES AND POPULATION.
AT the town meeting held April 7th ,
1873, there were twenty (20) votes cast,
and the population was estimated at
seventy-fivc. AT the town meeting
held April 3d, 1876, fifty-nine votes
were cast, and the inhabitants num-
bered 2ll. Thus it may be seen that
the number of votes and population
have more than trcbled i'm three years.
BEAUTIFUL PICTUREs.-We have re-
ccivcd from the Fine Art Publishing
House of Geo. Stins0n & Co., Portland,
Maine, several pictures recently pub
lishcd by them. The subjects, rs works
of high art, deserve the highest praise.
Stinson & Co. were among the pioneers
in the Fin, Art publishing business in
this. country, and year by year their
business has grown, until at the pres
ent time it has assumed colossal pro-
portions.
A short time since they published n
chrome that had arun ofover one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand copies.
The weight of them unmounted was
over nine tons. In the selection ofsub-
jccts, Stnson d Co. show correct judg-
mcnt of the public taste, which natural
talent, aided by long experience, can
only give. They publish every dcscrip-
t!on Of fine works of Art, from n chro-
mo to photograpli-from fine Cray
OF drawing to the most elegant Steel
Engraving.
They bring into service tho skill of
the most talented artists.
They arc also publishers of the Cen
tcnnial Record, which is very large
illustrated paper, devoted to whatever
is of interest connected with the One
Hundrcdth Birthday of the United
S'atcs. Terms one dollar per year.
The great Exhibition at Philadelphia
is fully illustrated and described.
Mcssrs. S;tinsOn d Co. are at present
in want ofa large number ofncw agents,
to whom they offer tho most liberal in
duccmcnts. We call attention to their
advertisement headed, "To the Work
