The project for building a new
church for st. Michael's congregation in
Porter, parish of Rev. J. E. Harlin, of
this city, has been abandoned for the
present. The money for the erection of
a handsome church had been subscribed
when division of sentiment arose over
the location. We understand a portion
of the congregation wanted the site
changed about a mile west of the pres
ent church. A vote of the subscribers
was taken resulting in change Of loca
ton, but the decision was so unsatis-
factory to a portion of the congregation
that in the interest of harmony it was
decided to abandon the project for
time. The money already collected is
being returned to the subscribers by the
treasurer of the fund. 1t is to he re-
GREETED that dissention arose making
such procedure necessary.
The last bill has been posted, the
last bugle sounded that announces the
great event of Wednesday, August 9Th.

ticator gives. out under the seal of his

From the head waters of the river
Rock in the marsh lands of Horizon to
where it unites with the great MISSISSIPPI
pi there are many spots of historic note
and romantic scenery. Moors and
marshes, rocks and cliffs, dense woods
and level fields all have helped to make
the slightly shores of this waterway
farmed in years agone. When the red
man held clear title to American soil his
favorite haunts and hunting grounds
was along the banks of what is now the
river Rock, and it was here in the time
of the Indian wars that he struggled
hard to stem the tide of white mans i'm
migration. But very few people realize
the charms of rock and mysterious caves
that are to be found within a mile or
two of Edgerton. In the lodged banks
of the river between here and Indian
Ford are numerous caves and crevices
that the artists brush might reproduce
and perhaps transform a bit of canvass
to worshipful scene of Natures ar
chitectural designs. The Devils Oven"
