Messrs. VIM. J. Nelson, H. M. M Ilhany
and II. D. Peck, will not be able to see
every one, SO the request is M ade that all
wishing to subscribe will notify any
member Of the committee Or call at the
Office of the Staunton Life Association,
where Mr.. Mc1lhanv has the subscription
book. 1t has been determined that the
effort shall be made to raise $15, 900 for
the purpose, and from the way subscrip-
tiOns have been coming in since Sunday
there seems TO be but little doubt that
the amount will be raised. The signature
of the subscriber is all that is asked for
and he can divide his payments to suit his
convenience. A number of boys have al
ready called to subscribe, among whom is
little Harry Nelson about years old. who
wrote his name down for 10 cents per
month for - months.
Mr.. VIM. J. Nelson, the chairman of
the Building Fund committee, suggested
in the Sundays meeting that if the mat
ter was now pushed as it ought to be, the
building would be finished this year, and
the Association would hold its New
YEARS. Reception in it on the LIST of Jan
uary, 1889. This suggestion was received
with enthusiasm, and on MIR. McIlhauy's
suggesting that it was q good time to sing
the DoxoiogY, the large audience rose and
sung it with will and adjourned.
