The Laying of the Corner Stone.

V No event in the last decade marks A
 more thoughtful era, or time of more
 intelligent enterprise and substantial
 advancement, than the laying of the
 cornerstone in the new school building,
 now under construction. The occasion had been advertised in
 THE TIMES, and nearly, if not quite
 all, of the citizens of the district were
 present, judging from the immense
 crowd. All seats were filled early in
 the evening, and scores stood uncovered
 under the canopy of the heavens, evinc-
 ing deep and hopeful interest in
 every part of the programme. The cornerstone was laid under the
 auspices of the masonic lodge of this city, Rev. F. E. Taylor representing
 the grand master, conducting tue cere-
 monies. The other officers for the oc-
 casiOn were l.. Rollwage, deputy grand
 treasurer; Chas. H. Sanders, deputy
 grand master; Ed. w. H. Paslay, dep
 uty grand chaplain; F. Laughinghouse, deputy grand senior warden; B. R.
 Shade, deputy grand junior warden. Before closing the stone, an invita- tiOn was extended to all to bring for
 ward whatever they might wish to de-
 p0sit, and quite number responded.
