METHODISTS TO BUILD
AT MONTOUR
First Church Building in Town
to be Erected at Cost of
$500

Montour is TO have a new church
building-the first in that town. II
will be built by the Methodists at a
cost of about $500 and will have a
seating capacity of 200. IN dimen-
sions the building will be 22x44 feet
and of the bungalow type of architect
ure.
Though Montour has been settle
ment for nearly half a century and
has had more or less intermittent
preaching services during that time,
no building had been provided. Since
the railroad came the MethodistS have
increased in numbers and strength,
and through the energy, persever-
ance and devotion of the Ladies Aid,
a permanent church home is now as
sured and it is hoped to have it COM
pleted before winter sets in. E. H.
Dewey has donated two lots on which
to build the church, and the aid So
ciety has accumulated goodly sum
to add to the building fund.

SCHOOL OFFICERS
REELECTED
DR.. B. o. Clark and c. L. Gamage Win
in Lively Contest.

The school election Tuesday started
off peacefully, but before the day had
waned there was excitement a-plenty.
There were three tickets in the field.
One contained the names of DR.. Clark
and Charles Gamage, whose terms ex-
pired, another was composed of Mrs.
G. B. Mains and Mrs Ruth Hunt, and
the third was put up by the country
people, with A. j. Malmstrom and
Herman Werle as nominees. This
last ticket was to have been a surprise
and 49 voters had pledged themselves
to appear at the polls shortly before
closing time and vote solidly for the
two candidates. But along in the af-
ternoon someone let the cat out of
the bag and from then on there was
some tall hustling to beat the COM
bination.

were tackled up all over the state.
"Vote for L. L. Folsom" it read. Ole
read it slowly and then remarked:

he can't fool Ole"
