it will be of brick laid in white mortar
and the trimmings will be of brick laid
in red mortar, which makes a very
pretty finish. The ground upon which
the building will stand will cost $500
and the building itself Is expected to
cost upwards of S., 500.
OF this amount the M, K. & T. rail-
way contributes $1,000 as soon as the
citizens OF Parsons have raised an equal
amount.
