Part-Some History.

Large audiences attended the very
impressive services at the Presby-
terrain church yesterday morning and
evening Ii was an Important occasion
in the history OF the church. Under
the rules which govern Presbyterian
churches a building may not be dedi-
Gated as long as there is any debt
upon it: hence. although the congre-
cation had been worshipping in its
beautiful new edifiee for many years,
since 1892 or 3. the building had
never been formally dedicated. But
he day for this ceremony was draw
ing nearer all the time. largely be-
carse OF the earnest anil steady work
of the Ladies' Aid, who never Jagged
in their efforts to rid the building of
the mortgage. A history of the church
debt was given in a paper read last
might by Judge VIM. 5. Dewey, a
synopsis of which is here given:
The building was erected in the
winter of 1884 and was finally com
pleted in June, 1894. the first service
being held the 10th of that month.
In one years time the committee of
ladies had collected $4,000 and the
then ordered the board
of trustees to proceed with the work.
The total cost of the church and the
parsonage including the purchase OF
the grounds and filing of he lots
and all other expenditures was eSti-
mated to be $4,000. The improve
ments made in 1908, the installing Of
the new pipe organ and new pews, !
and the general oyernauing of the
church brought on an additional debt

his paper Judge Dewey said; IN

County Court.

A warmly contested civil case was
tried in county court this week, result
ing in a jury verdict for T. A. Hill &
Son, who had been sued by Patton &
Schwartz for the sum of $500, which
they claimed was due them for bringing
about the recent sale of the City Hotel
property by Hill & Son to DR.. II. S.
Dew, Plaintiffs contended that they
were entitled to the $500, since they had
been promised that sum as commission
merely to bring about a sale; that the
trade was closed as result of their
efforts, and that this contract could not
have been legally abrog ated. Defend
ants claimed that plaintiffs had been en-
gagged to conclude trade, that they
failed to do so, and then the contract
spoken of had been abrogated by means
of letter written to them by the de-
PENDANTS, sometime before the latter
themselves closed trade with DR..
Dew.
