. . . The evening session opened with a half hour song and praise
service, after which Rev. A. BROWN, a former pastor of the
Schaller church, gave one of his sermons, delivered in his

W.E. MILL is tearing down the building which has so long served
himself and family as a home. They have fitted up the old Star
office building for a residence by raising it and putting in a
good brick foundation and plastering the inside. When he gets
through tinkering they will have quite a comfortable home 'around
the corner.'
