Location Decided Upon.

The building of Baptist parsonage
has been under contemplation for some
time past, but the location had never
been decided upon. Two lots had been
offered, we learn, one by the Chesapeake

Monday night meeting was held for
the purpose of selecting one of the lots
offered. 1t was decided to take the lot,
for which the church already has a deed,
at the corner of Allegheny and First
street. We learn that, the location
being decided upon, work will at once
be commenced on the building, and be
completed as early as possible.
