IL 1t Last Secures Lot and tho Means for
Erecting . Building.
For long time the Relief society of
st. Paul, which has been doing a good
work, has been greatly cramped for room,
and has had its means for usefulness
very much limited in consequence of not
having building suitable for the OBJ
jects the society has in view and the pur
poses for which it was organized. This
inconvenience has long beer the subject
of deep regret on the part of the
members of the society, and
has been many times the subject of long
and earnest consideration. The subject
had been so long talked of that at last
the ladies became tired of the discussion
and determined to put an end to it, if
possible. They put their heads together,
and the deed was done. The society had
small sum of money on hand, and they
determined to obtain enough more to
obtain lot: Having determined upon
this they went to work in earnest, and
the result is the socity now owns the lot
and will soon have a building of
its own, suitable for the purposes of the
organization. The lot secured is on the
north side of Ninth street, about the
middle of the block, between Robert and
Jackson streets, for which the society
paid $500. The plans for the building
have been prepared, nd it will be con-
structed as rapidly as possible. Mr.. Chase,
the secretary of the organization, is
about as much pleased at the prospect as
any one. A representative of the GLOBE,
