built of wood, 4OxSO feet on the ground, two
stories high with basement. The main
hall on the first floor will be the size of the
building, with Il gallery. The second floor
will contain two halls with dressing apart
ments, smoking room, etc. These will be
occupied by the Masons and Sir Knights
and perhaps some other organization. The
| basement will contain a cook room and din
| ing room. The building will be finished in
good shape and will add much to the con-
venience of the village. Edwin jenkins OF
Monroe has the contract to grade and make
the foundation John Penney of Knox has
the contract to do the carpenter work. The
plans are all made; all we have to do now is
to see the building grow and pay the bills.

a town meeting will be held Saturday, Sep
TENDER 5th, to see if the town will build it.
