Burton.

Please allow me, as an outsider, to say q
few words in reply to an article published
in your paper March 7th, headed Burton,
and signed by one o. H., stating that NJ. p.
&. was mis-representing church matters at
that place. have carefully read each article
published in your paper signed by NJ. u. G.
and cannot see, so far as know by personal
knowledge and what L have heard land
have had as good an opportunity to- know of
these matters as anyone that there is one
ms-statement in either of the articles pub
lished by M. Z. G., only they did not tell
the half that might have been told Of the
abuse that has been heaped upon the NJ. p.
people. Now these statements made by o.
ii. must have been obtained secondhand or
else they were written to mis-represent, and
deceive those that do not know the facts
So far as the building Of the church is coll
cerned, it was built by the M. p. people and
the trustees of that church had the entire
control of It; Of course there Was subscrip-
ton paper circulated, but IL was not headed
as o. ii. stated. All christian organizations
were to have the privilege of preaching in
the church when not In use by the M. =.
church or interfering with them. Members
of several denominations, together with
those outside of any church, paid toward
bore the burden themselves and do not
think that any other denomination expected
TO have a regular appointment I'm the church
when they signed the subscription paper.
If that was the case the M. p. people were
very foolish for doing as they did, toiling
early and late and paying out their money
cheerfully and willingly while the rest of us
were at home working for our own interests.
If the M. K. church understood 1t so, why
after the church was ready for seating, did
the M. f.. minister and one of the lead
ing members of his church go to some of the
NJ. p. church members and offer to help
seat the church If the M. p. people would
give them a written agreement giving them
an appointment once i'm two weeks in the
church, but were refused. Then when the
church was dedicated four of five of them
offered to help pay of the debt mot pay the
debt as D. II. stated) by giving twenty-five
dollars each II the M. p. people would con-
sent to the above proposition but were again
refused and informed that other denomina-
tions might ask the same privilege which
could not be granted and IL would not he
right for them to show partiality. Nearly
everyone understood that the church was to
be opened to all christian denominations by
the M. +. people when asked for an occa-
sional sermon when Il did not interfere with
them, and not a regular appointment to any
church. The M. p. people and all of the
outsiders that have talked with understood
that to be the case, and the M. p. church
would have been built II the nj. +. people

The rnrements should be laid.

II. D. Rumble is busily engaged IN deliy-
ering notices 20 property owners TO either
put down new pavements, relay old ones
or repair them Some two years ago the
Board of Public Works had TO put down
about thirty-six hundred dollars worth Of
new curbing on petitions of citizens from
different portions of the city, with the un-
derstanding that the petitioners would at
once Law new sidewalks. Since that time
not over one-third of the sidewalks have
been laid. The notices served by Mr.. Rum
bic gives them fifteen days 10 lay new side
walks II is the intention Of the Board, If
the notices are not complied with. 10 re
move the curbing and place il elsewhere
where property owners are anxious 10 have
curbing set and are willing to pave as soon
as the curb is down. II the property own
ers notified fail to comply with the notice,
il will be some time before they will ever
have a curb set in front of their property
again. 1t is certainly the duty OF all citi-
zens to encourage the matter of having good
sidewalks. and besides it adds beauty to-
the city.
