The Society meeting at the Congrega-
tional church last week considered the
matter OF repairs on the inside OF the
church. Ii was thought best to have a
metal Ctiiirg put ca in the audience
room, as the p astcrng was dropping
off in several places, the walls kalsO
mined or papered and several other
needed repairs which might mean an ex-
pense OF three hundred dollars or more
Mrs, E. H. Stone, Mrs, Byron Wright
and Miss Ella Mclaughlin were ap
pointed a committee to have the over
sight of the work. The financial con IL
ton OF tue society is weak so that
outside he'll is very acceptable AS these
repairs have tor some time been Contem
plated the chairman o the committee
has been in correspondence with a gen
teman in Chicago who has ALWAYS been
a close friend OF this church. In his
younger days he was a member Of the
Sunday school. He has contributed lib
orally toward this fund. 1t is expected
that III re are Others who will do some
thing who desire to help perpetuate the
organic alton of the first church in town
and to k ep in good repair the old church
edihce, the first one built in this part OF
the country. 1t is very Fl ting that this
work should be done this year, that it
may be all ready for centennial ami
versary which will occur next year. The
outside painting is being finished this
week, which gives the church a much
improved appearance
