To Build Catholic Church
During the past few months strenuous
efforts have been made by few citizens
in view OF getting under way the con
struction of Catholic church for Phil
ipsburg, for which five acres of ground
was secured in Pardee & McDonald's
addition several years ago. and upon
which large and substantial foundation
was laid. During the past four years.
however, the matter has been given but
little attention. until lately, and the
Catholic population has SO largely in
creased that the necessity Of church is
keenly felt. Last Sunday meeting was
held. and the following committees we're
appointed to make a canvass in the
various sections of the Flint Creek dis
trict and solicit funds for the completion
of the church. The collecting committee
