Church moving has been the excite

" eeks past. Last week Deacon Spence,
on Friday and Saturday, circulated
subscripti paper for the removal of
the Presbyterian church from it's pres
ent location to the station, and obtain
ed promises of three hundred dollars.
Last Monday, the time of the official
for the year, the matter was
brought before said meeting, and by it
decided to move the church. provided a
sum of money was obtained
so to do. So the prospect at present
for its removal is good. Nearly all its
are favorable to its removal,
and the congregation that worships
v1Jill W nAn %ad
he whole. 1t may be news to some of
the younger people that said church has
had one removal from the place where
the Town hall now stands, some forty
one years ago or over, the present site
being donated by Mr.. Chas. Leet and
Mr.. James OZanne. The latter's wife
was the first person who was buried

basement under the church.
