and was TO pay certain premium on
the two policies for ten years. At tho
end of this time. according to the con-
tract, he would have paid in S7.95S.j0.

the policy expired. withdraw % per. cent
OF the amount he paid in, which would

The site upon which the proposed new
Trinity Parish Hall and schoolhouse is
to be erected has not yet been selected
The lot on o Street. just east OF the
church parsonage, which was at first
thought to be the most desirable. will
not be considered in the selection. as
investigation has revealed the fact that
large sewer. probably ten feet In di-
ameter, runs under the property. To
build on this site would incur much
unnecessary expense in arching the
sewer. There is some talk of choosing
the site a the northeast corner of Thir-
ty-sixth and y Streets. just south of
the church structure. There is still an
other property under consideration. the
site upon which 1.-The old chapel and

 It would be a repetition of the days of 1878 when the Union Consolidated Mining Company suspended operation. The same conditions exist now as then, hundreds of families being too poor to procure trans portation away from Ducktown and they were forced to put their wives and little children in the public road and walk away, carrying as much of their personal effects as possible upon their persons.
