F. S. CURTIS PLANS IMPROVEMENTS.
 F. S. Curtis is to make, this spring, a number of changes and improve ments about his school building. The new road he built north of his school Is all completed and will soon be open for travel. He is now having neat wire fence built on both sides of the road. The barn just north of the school is to be moved from it's present location to the little hill just south of his tenement house. A new gymnasi- ! um is to be erected on the site of the 1 one burned, last fall. The stone walls north of the school rooms are to be re- | moved and when the old road which | runs between his buildings is closed the grounds about his building on all l sides will be laid cut in nice park | When the work is all com mplet ed it will make beautiful place and add much

 REV MIR BUTTONS. RESIGNATION AC- | GIFTED.
 At a meeting of Congregational church held on Tuesday, March 19, to | accept the resignation of their beloved pastor, Rev M. s. Burton, the foll w. ing vote was unanimously passed: We as church accept the resignation of our pastor, the Rev Marion l.. Burton, with the deepest and most sincere re- 1 gret, and are deterred from refusing to do so only by the knowledge that he is
 called to a larger field of usefulness
 and opportunity. We record with this
 acceptance our sense of personal loss
 which will be felt by all the members
 of the church and those associated
 with us in worship, as we'll as by the | entire community. In his first pastor
 ate he has endear red himself to the
 preacher, and done much to influence,
 from the pulpit and by personal ex-
 ample, the life and sound sentiment of
 the community. We recognize and
 acknowledge the earnest and effective
 participant of his wife in every thing
 that has contributed to these results,
 and can but feel sorrow tt severing the l bond which has held us together. | Their names will have permanent and loving association with the history of
 this church.
