Grinnell has just made and distrib-
uted a new directory, which presents
an appearance and an Indication OF
correctness and usefulness quite salts
factory to the users. Using it as a
basis for the calculation by the meth
DDS generally accepted, Grinnell should
today have a population of $3.50. Not
ing the additions that have been made
within the past two years by birth
and by incoming families. those well
are inclined to the belief, that these
figures are conservative.
The revival at the Friends church
still continues under the ministration
of the evangelist Robert Knight. The
Friends recently dedicated very neat
and commodious new church building
on West street, and the present reviv-
al movement seems to be but contin
uation Of that dedication. The build
ing is an attractive looking frame Of
modern style and is indicative Of the
growth the society of Friends has
made in this community within the
past few years since their labors were
first begun here.

Gerry store here some months ago, to
