The blanks for filing the income tax
returns for 1920 are now ready for dlstri-
button at the Office Of the internal revenue
collector in the federal building and four
men have been detailed to give assist
ance to those who desire 1t. The entire
office force will be placed at the task If
necessary. for this is the busiest time
of year. All returns must be in before
March Is, and it will be a wise move to
get them in much before that time as a
big rush Is expected toward the last.
A year ago less than 900 returns were filed
in Burlington and only about 1900 in
Chittenden county. 1t is expected that
this number will be greatly increased this
year as the pay rolls W been larger
and the mill hands VIII come IN for a
h!s payment. There are -four different
blanks, one for income Of less than IS 900
per year. another over 5000, one for part
ners and another for corporations.
Nearly POO couples attended the leap year
party given by the Daughters of Isabel
la in the al Ness House Tuesday eve-
ming. A feature of the party was the
apron and necktie dance where each lady
brought a necktie to match the apron she
was wearing, The neckties were all put
together and the men drew them, then
the aprons and neckties were matched
up for partners for the first dance. At
first the ladies were a little shy about
getting dances for their partners. but as
the evening wore on they fell into the
spirit of the thing and at intermission
got the refreshments of coffee and sand
wiches for the men. The hall was decor
ated with purple, white and yellow crepe
paper and In one corner, enclosed by
potted plants. were the seats for the pa
irons and patronesses, who were Mr.. and
Mrs. M. G. Leary, Mr.. and Mrs. H.. j.

HISTORY OF FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

There has been good deal of dis
cussion as to when the First Presby-
TRAN church which has just been torn
down was built. It seems the church
records give no information. The
following extracts from the Kentucky
Weekly Messenger, a newspaper pub
lished in Richmond of date October
Sth, 1853, may throw some light On
the subject:
"Richmond Royal Arch Chapter, No.
IS and Richmond Lodge F. and A. NJ.
No. % meet in their hall on the corner
opposite the Methodist church" etc.
miss Ruth Hastings will open a
school for girls on Monday Sept. 9Th
in this place. For the present the
school will be conducted in the large
room attached to the residence of Mrs.
Rebecca Miller, but will be removed to
lower story of the Presbyterian
church as soon as it shall be in state
of readiness ETC., Aug. 27, 1885,"
In a deed from Joel j. Walker to
NJ. D. Wainscott executed May 10,
1858 conveying lot No. %, which ad-
joins the church lot on the East CIV.
w. Pigg residence) in describing lot
No. % the deed recites "and adjoin-
| ing the lot upon which the Presby-
terrain church is now being erected.
It is well known chat the Masons
occupied the upper story Of the old
church. They were not there in
October 1853. There are persons now
living here who went to school to
Miss Hastings, both at the Miller
residence and in the basement of the
church. The Rebecca Miller pro-
perty is still standing on East Main
street and is occupied by Alex King
and pool room, the latter was the
school room. There have been found
among the debris of the church build
ing two inside bricks inscribed 1855.
They were. probably made and burned
that year.
1t is fair to assume from the above
statements that the church was COM
pleted some time in the late fall Of
1858 a early in 1859.
The following may be Of interest as

church lately replaced was built.

Thursday. and plans TO report for duty
in Columbia at once.
Since "Clev'' left his alma mater
back in Indiana he has had three
coaching jobs-Nebraska Wesleyan,
University of Tennessee, Kansas Ag-
gies. In each of these a college an
nual was dedicated to him during his
tour of duty. The honor was con-
ferred upon him by the Aggies last
year.
He's probably prouder of this record
than anything else in his career unless
it is that little tribute his fellow stu
dents of the Hoosier university paid
him during the last year he played
there-voting him the best all-round
athlete of all time.
"Clev" always has made good with
the students, and always the teams
he put out have reflected the loyalty
of the student body. His last year
here is a good example. Limping out
of a disastrous football season the
Aggies rallied for a near winner in
basketball, coming out the end of the
year with a championship baseball
team as browning achievement of his
four years with the Kansas state col
lege.
During his stay here "CIev'' put out
four championship teams-two in
basketball. one in baseball, and one
in track. He coached all these except
track One year he tied for valley
football championship honors. The
