Some extensive improvements are
being contemplated by the board of
trustees Of the M. E. church, which
will improve greatly the appear

that denomination, and add much
to the accommodations. Nothing
definite has been decided upon as
yet, but it is part of the plan to
move the parsonage to the corner,
now occupied by the old Evangeli-
cal church building. This will
make room for the erection of a
