There was applause, in which the
deacon did not participates, but rising
reluctantly no delivered himself as fol

what has been said in praise of this en-
terprise. Our town needs it and thore

Since offered you this lot, the
deacon went OH. there has been great
Improvement i'll times. Money is easier,
prices are better and realty gets an en-
HANGED value because Of tho general
prosperity. l will let you have tho lot
for $4,000 and throw off $500 us u do

The minister muttered something no
