Montrose - A large force of workmen have been busily engaged in tearing down the Baptist church and in a few days that ancient and historic edifice will have become only a memory. Some interesting history on the pillars, those used in the auditorium to support the ceiling and those in the basement supporting the floor. Mr. H. F. Turrell relates that at the time the church was erected there was no lathe in this section suitable for turning the pillars, so the inventive genius of those sturdy pioneers was brought into play and indeed did necessity prove the mother of invention, for a "home-made" lathe was constructed which was worked by turning a crank by hand. Mr. Turrell, who was then a boy, remembers taking a turn on the crank, "just for fun.: The pine logs were brought in from the woods, dressed down partly with a drawing knife and then put on the lathe and turned by hand into the sturdy pillars that have so long and admirably filled the purpose for which they were designed and stood as monuments of the zeal and tenacity of those early Baptist brethren.

News Briefs: A bright preacher has hit upon a scheme that will effectually wipe out the high hat nuisance in his church. He will make a division, putting the women on one side and the men on the other, with the exception that women who take off their hats may sit with the men. It is a great head that man is wearing. AND The horseless carriage comes high, costing about $1000. Everybody is interested in the performance of the gasoline vehicle which arrived in New York recently after a journey from Cleveland. It traveled 707 miles in five days and on a part of its journey made 38 miles an hour, beating the French road record. This is less important as fore shadowing the future of such vehicles than is the demonstration made of their endurance and practical adaptation to use on rough country roads and their exceeding cheapness as regards power cost. About $1 covered the entire fuel charge on this long trip and three cents worth of gasoline served for a run of 218 miles.
