New Baptist Church
IDecLxoa'tecL S-ixxa_<a.a,y
The new Baptist church which has
been in the course of constrastion
sinse May last, was dedicated with appropriate services Sunday. The day
was anything but a pleasant one, being-
of a most cutting atmosphere in the
forepart and later a blizzard set in
which continued until after the evening services closed.
The structure which is of cement
blocks was completed at a cost of about
six thousand dollars, the blocks" were
all built on the church grounds under
the supervision of E. C. Rogers, the
architect. The cost of the building
has somewhat exceeded1 the original
estimate which is due in part to a few
slight changes, but more especially to
advance in materials and an underestimate of the amount of cement necessary to do .the job, yet the extra
amount of cement used makes the
building much stronger. v
The windows were all paid for by
donations and each bears the name of
the giver or of some deceased member
or members.
Some have expressed regret that a
part of the trees were cut down, but
it was impossible to make anything
of the yard With them standing, those
on the north were dying with 30 many
of their roots exposed and no chance
to cover them, besides they stood at
least thirty inches too high for the
yard grade, and no grading could
have been made with them there, ter-
raceing was out of the question.
The dedication services were each
well attended .despite the severity of
the day. Rev. P. B. Cutler of Oxford,
took the morning service because of
lhe illness of Rev. IrviDg who was not
able to be present. Revs. Springer
and Raab assisted ia all the services as
did also Rev. Denman of Milan in the
afternoon and evening. Tn tho evening Rev. T. W. Toung of Ann Arbotf,
delivered a most clear and impressive
message which was restful lo the
wearied crowd from the long day's
services.
Rev. McConnell, pastor of the new
church, did everything possible for
the pleasure and comfort of tbe people.
Solos by Mrs. D. Q. Barry, Mr3. 6.
L. Parsons and A. P. Clark and duet
by Mrs. Parsons and P. EL Rouse lent
much to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Dinner was served in^the dining-
rooms also supper, which judging from
appearances, all who partook thereof,
enjoyed.
After the morning discourse. Dr.
Sanford, chairman of the -building
committee, presented with fitting
words the keys to the, building which
were accepted by the   Pastor^
Dr.
Young offered the dedication prayer
at the close of the evening seryice and
the little Baptist church on the corner
was declared fittingly and appropriate
ly dedicated.

that when your.stamach and liver are
badly affected, graye trouble is ahead
unless you take the proper medicine
for your disease, as Mrs. John A.
Young of Clay, N. Y., did. She says:
"I had neuralgia of Che liver and
stomach, my heart was weakened, and
I could not eat. I was very bad for a
long time, but in Electric Bitters, I
found just what I needed, for they
quickly relieved and cured me." Best

Patrolman Pierce had an experience
Tuesday night that was rather thrilling. He was after two drunken men
at the depot, and the older man, Who
saw the officer coming, tried to escape
by climbing upon the coupling of a
freight train that was going past at a
good rate of speed. This man, who
gave his name as John Lane of Wayne,
jumped.between the cars and tried to
climb upon the coupling, and had not
the brakeman happened to be there to
grab him would undoubtedly have
fallen between the cars and been - killed. Lane and his companion, John
Carey of Detroit, were given five 'days
at Ann Arbor by Justice Joslyvn—Ypsilantian. *
"Kalamazoo", as the name of a city,
can be laid to the door of the Indians
and many an inexplicable name can
have a conjecturable reason for its
being but "Ann Arbor" ha3 always
proven a puzzler. A correspondent
writes that tbe name, which is pretty
even though inexplicable, comes from
the wife of" one of the first settlers,
named Ann Allen, who lived for a time
in a leafy bower, which" the settlers
came to £all "Ann's Arbor." Another
correspondent corrects this statement.
Mrs. John Allen and Mrs. E. W, Rum-
,sey, wives-of the, two first settlers of
the town, wuro each named Ann, and
while they lived'in a natural arbor,
beiore tbe first house was built, presumably, a third Anu*was.born to Mrs.
Rumsiy. It was certainly,' under
these circumstances, "Ann's Arbor".'
and thus it has remained.—Jackson,
