Church improvements.

A movement is now on foot, and bids
fair of consummation. to make ex-
tensive improvements Of the Methodist
church. Among the changes contem-
plated will be the removal of the build
ing up to and facing Church street.
When this is done the interior will be
remodeled throughout, beautifully dec
GRATED, carpeted, etc. Also fresh coat
pf paint will be added to the exterior
of the building. Rev, Phelps is very
enthusiastic over the project, and states
that long before the summer months
the MethOdists can boast of most de-
lightfully pleasant place to worship.
He thinks there are sufficien: funds on
hand to carry out the plan without
raising another dollar.
