WILL BUILD
NEW SUNDAY
SCHOOL ROOM

1t was decided at the congrega-
tional meeting Of the Presbyterian
Church Sunday afternoon that a
committee be appointed to make ar
rangements for the building of a
Sunday School room, which when
completed, will cost between 5000
and 100000. 1t is probable that the
building will be erected on the site
Of the present parsonage and the
,Pasqueth property recently purch-
ased by the church will in the future
be used as the manse.
Three new elders were chosen they
are: c. E. Leeper, Robert Brown and
R. G. Woodson. The elders now in
office are: Wallace Dearing, S. D.
Stocks, Frank Parker, C. C. Heizer,
j. c. Pasqueth and ]. G. Moore.
Five deasons were chosen: H. R.
Schuessler, J. B. DeVault, L. A.
Beach, Jeter Crews and J.. Harrison
Brown. Those now elders are: Geo.
rye Will Robertson, R. M. White,
A. P. Green, R. A. Maxwell, Earle
Brown, E. L. Cass. Charles Clark,
L. McF. Gamble, C. E. Leeper, J. W.
Gallaher and Harry McGee, Mr..
Leeper, by his election as elder will
cease to be a member of the board
of deacons.
The quarters now occupied by the
Presbyterian Church are not ade-
quatey equipped to care for a large
Sunday School doing active progress
sive work. Many of the classes are
crowded and the new building will be
of great help to the school in carry
ing on its work efficiently.

has appeared among dogs here lately
in several instances. Several weeks

to be vicious but frothed at the mouth
and had other symptoms of rabies.
The animal was an English terrier,
and a favorite with the family.
The dog belonging to Arthur Ber-
ger is sick and one belonging to L.
K. Dick is being kept in confinement
as it has been sick several days and
the veterinarian pronounces that it
has hydrophobia ina mild form. Mr.,
Dick is somewhat Of the opinion that
someone has poisoned the dog.
Wednesday Mr.. Painter was called
out on Ladd Street by some negroes
who said that they had a mad dog.
Mr.. Painter went into the back yard
where the animal was kept and it
rushed at him and appeared to abso-
lutely mad. Mr.. Painter shot the ami
NAL and also a cat and another dog
belonging ito the same people.
A COW belonging to G. A. Roe be-
came sick this week and seemed to be
affected with the same disease, and
is believed to have been bitten by
one of the dogs. The animal died
and its head was sent away for ex-
animation but no report has yet been
received.

One the best exhibitions of fight
ing spirit ever seen on the gridiron
here was shown Friday afternoon
when Mcmillan, with two of its star
players out of the line held the fast
Slater team to a score of 8 to 12.
This score is counted as almost a
victory by the followers of the Nc
MILAN team. The loss of its captain,
Elihu Stanberry, who suffered a
broken leg in scrimmage this week,
was a heavy blow to the home team
and the fact that Harry Mcclure,
fulback was also unable to play was
anther one. But inspite of this
team went on the field and played a
clean fighting game from whistle to
