A force of workmen started this
morning to tear down the ware
house in the rear of F. P. Pursel's
store on Market St. The structure
is to be replaced by a new forty by
sixty-foot building. This will af
ford an opportunity for Mr. Pursel
to properly display his stock of furni
ture and other merchandise, which
for the past several years, owing to
lack of space, he has been compelled
to keep on the third story, which
was, owing to the construction of
the building, quite inaccessable and
hard to show to any advantage.
The new building will be two stor
ies high and will extend from the
rear end of the store back to C. W.
McKelvey's property.

A few weeks ago we published
an article from tlie Philadelphia
Press headed "Why Men do not
go to Church." It gave these
two reasons why so few met)
attend Church: that they do not
get what they want from the pulpit,
and the femininity of the hymns.
Is it a fact that men do not go to
church? and, if so, are the reasons
above given a sufficient explanation
of the cause ? We would like to
hear from the clergymen of the
town and county on this subject.
It is a good one totalk about.
