Loss, Win Replace Burned Edifics.
Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Nov. 28.-Notwithstanding
the severe disappointment and heavy
loss suffered by the membership Of the
Christian church in the loss Of their new
church by fire, they are showing the
true Spartan spirit and have concluded
to go forward with the rebuilding on
the same plans as before. The insur-
ance of $500 is all paid without a
hint of trouble. but the loss still suf-
fered will go close to $4,000. However,
Contractor Sargent will help bear the
loss. 1t Is said. and work is in progress
clearing up the debris and getting
ready to resume building in the spring.
Only one example of the sympathy
and helpfulness given the church is that
of the Methodist people who sent a
check for $500 and an offer Of the use
of the church basement for the chicken
and waffle suppers so popular with
the Christian church ladies'.
