Church Being Improved

A new roof is being placed
on the Episcopal Church, and
other improvements are being
made to the church, which are
donations from Mr.. G. E. Smedes.
This pretty little church was much
in need of repairs. Now if the
grounds were embelished, it would
greatly improved this property
which is nicely located and would
be an attraction.
