tics LivaIy-Othsr Notes.

Operations on the various buildings In
course OF construction are progressing In
a very satisfactory manner and 1t looks
as though most Of them would be com
pleted before cold weather, The altera-
tions on the structure of the Congrega-
tional church are progressing rapidly.
and II the weather Is propitious there Is
but little doubt but what that structure
will be ready for use by the latter part
OF November
The building is being Increased to
nearly double its former size and the
interior appointed in a manner suited for
modern church work. The architectu-
raj appearance of the building has been
so changed that IL Is scarcely recogniza-
BILE as the same building which has done
duty as church edifice so long that II
had become one of the landmarks OF the
place.

lively manner and already there are nu-
merous discussions of things that be and
things that may be after election. There
is considerable interest In the situation

lively interest In things political and II all
the indications do not fail there will be

The Republicans are wearing a smile OF
seif-conndence that seems To Indicate
that they have no fears for the result OF
the election. but there Is without doubt
fully as much activity OF the other side
as at any time heretofore and there is no
doubt but what the struggle for victory,
which as Il draws near lends increased In
terest TO the situation. win be lively
enough to satisfy the tastes Of the most
strenuous.
