M. w. Gore and other taxpay.
ers of the two districts contend
ed that transfer of the funds was
illegal and not in public interest.
The case moved from a tenn.
porary restraining order, thro'

up to the Supreme Court, back to
Superior Court, and finally to
consent judgment this week.
The agreement of both the
plaintiff and the defendant

the dispute is in sight. The

building that is completely free
on any indebtedness.
The new church was begun last

served the community for many
years. Land for the old church
was decided in 1868. The new
church is located near the site
of the old one on land which
was given to the church by Mrs
S. w. Garrell and family of Tabor

The ground for the new church
was broken by John w. Jordan,
oldest member of the church
whose membership dates back tc
1887. Mr.. Jordan, a resident OF
the Clarendon community, is ex'
pected to attend the first service
Sunday morning.
Sunday school at 1000, follow
ed by church service and dinner
on the ground is expected to be
the order of the day.
The new structure is modern in
every detail. Modern rest rooms
and a baptistry grace the church
along with six completed Sunday
school rooms and six others that
will be constructed in the near
future.
Active members of the build
ing committee who have practl'
callv made a full time job out
of the church project since last
November are D. H. (Kenny)
Jordan, chairman; Thomas In
man and Everette Miller.
Contractor White who has been
in charge of the construction
told the church recently, Coop
teratiod, unity and fellowship

have ever seen in all my expert
ence."
Church officials this week urg'
ed deacons and committee mem
hers to be present Sunday. Pic
tures of the new church and its
officers will be taken, barring
unforeseen difficulties.

1t Can Happen Here
anchorage News

While some are excited $4,000 cash and
level robbery this week others are aghast over the
upsurge in juvenile crime in the city, there was a
group of in Anchorage who had far more interest
in a little item of news from Neosha, Missouri
This was an item telling of the death by fire OF
mother and five children when their home burned to
the ground.
The men who particularly concerned were
members of the Anchorage Volunteer Fire Depart
ment who took up the little item at their morning
skull practice session in their quarters of the fire
department in City Hail.
1t came in for considerable comment because the
men and their chief know that lit could happen
here" 1t called up in their mind any one of a dozen
or more places the watchful men of the department
have listed fire traps in Anchorage. They viz
tually sit on pins and needles all the time wonder
ing if the next alarm will mean digging charred bodies
from the ashes
The item from Neosha told how defective flue
started a fire in the isolated frame home of Mrs.
Bobby Martin, widowed mother of seven. All eight
we're dead when fremen arrived
Local firemen wish Anchorage people would take
such news items more seriously and transplant the
situation to their locality. They ask that An
chorage people compare their premises to those
of the widow lady and see that it doesn't happen
here.
