/ 1t is an understood fact that Chaplain
Wilson OF Fort Meade has the funds al
ready in hand to commence work at once
on this structure, but owing to the neg
i ligence or something else on the part
Of the property owners who promised to
donate block Of ground for the pur-
pose, negotiations are at present at a
standstill. Why there should be any
delay in the matter is unaccountable,
as there are plenty Of property holders
who stand ready and are only too willing
to give at once the necessary land for the
accommoda tion Of the edifce.
If the land at present promised can
not be obtained, a new location can
readily be found. Prompt action on the
part of our citizens should be taken in
order to insure to Sturgis this valuable
institution. If the matter is not brought
to focus very soon we may lose forever
the opportunity to have a higher educar
tional institution located in our midst.
Il Chaplain Wilson has acted extremely
| fair in the matter and offers to do any
thing in his power to assist the lot own
ers interested in arriving at settlement.
Let those interested stir this enterprise
up and not allow it to be forgotten, or
die of inanition.

scriptive style, and will attract great
attention to our varied resources. Pion-
eer.
We understand that Captain Russell
has been invited to visit Sturgis for the
purpose Of giving this vicinity write
up in the journals he SO ably represents.

and in short time come down to collect
data, etc.
