One of the members of the
g Minister'S Daughter Company,
made big hit with the audience
Saturday night, when walking out
in front of an old street scene that
has done service in the house for
the past thirty years. he looked up,
and remarked that "the building on
the corner must be the new Opera
House" " The remark was re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause.
In this connection it may be a
pleasing bit of news to many to
know that the move to build a new
play house in town is showing
signs of new life. An option on a
very desirable plot of ground has
been secured, and the proposition
promises to take tangible shape
after the first of the year.

OLD OHUROH COMES DOWN.

AS announced in the last issue of
this papar exclusively, the old
Presbyterian Church will be torn
down, and the work begins to-day.
William Ferguson has the contract.
The first church building used by
the Presbyterians stood on the LOT
now owned by Nj. p. Lutz. 1t
was a frame building with no
steeple. The brick church was
built in 1916. and later on the
frame building was used for some
years as the Bloom Poor House.
About 1866 Judge Elwell bought
it and tore it down, and erected the
house now owned by M, p. Lutz,
on the lot. Where the Manse
stands was the Presbyterian bury
ing ground.
Rev. d. J Waller was pastor for
over thirty years, and was succeed
ed by Rev. DR.. S. Mitchell who
was here for eighteen years. Rev.
l. +. Patterson followed him, and
these three covered the entire time
that the church was used as such.
The new stone church was built in
1891, and since that the old build
ing has been used as a chewing
gum factory, festival hall, Centenni-
al Museum meeting house, or any
old thing.

gree. Mr.. Calhoun can be assured
that he leaves Bloomsbury with the
well wishes of every man, woman
