CONCERNING THE
 EPISCOPAL RECTORY

The building of the rectory for the Episcopal Church is now go ing ahead, and will probably be completed by Nov. l. The cost of the building as contracted for will be $21O0, and a little more will be needed. Of this sum 5000 has been or is being secur- ed by Bishop Atwood from two Church societies in the East, with the understanding that the remainder will be raised by local. efforts.
 Through the work of St. Mar garet's Guild and a few individ- ual subscriptions nearly $550 has already been raised in town. It is hoped that the friends of the church in this neighborhood will be willing to make gifts to make up the additional sum needed, by the time the build ing is completed.
