put in. This the railroad company did

up to the cities ordering them and
the bill will have to be paid.

tunity that was opened for free de-
livery. It is not believed that the

The Baptist church seems in a tair
way to have new pipe organ. A move
ment has just been put on foot in the
membership of that church to raise the
requisite funds for that purpose. At a
business meeting of the church held
last week George Yule stated that he
would give $500 toward it if the socie-
ty would raise the other 500. The
society took up the proposition and
within the past few days has raised
over $500 of the needed amount. An
agent Of the W. W. Kimball company,
of Chicago, has been here to take the
measurements and that company will
make the organ. It is to be completed
in about five months. 1t is not be-
lieved that there will be much trouble
in getting the other 5000 necessary.
