The NJ. E. church is undergoing
repair by having a new roof. We
also understand the Mite Society
will put up folding blinds, which will
cost about 500. This being done
and the material being on hand to
lay new sidewalk around the lot,
will add greatly to the appearance
of the sanctuary and its surround
ings, and goes to show that the
little mites accumulated by our
ladies during the past year have
grown to be quite sum, and now
being properly applied, will add
greatly to the convenience of all.
The untiring diligence of the ladies
who took the matter in hand has
been wonderful. They are to be
congratulated by our people for
their management generally.

ia, that crops are looking splendid,

resume in the near future.
