Birchardville - The Baptist Church at Birchardville is doomed, as it has been decreed that it shall be torn down and a new one erected in its place. All the lumber that is good in the old church will be used in the new one. It is 59 years this summer since it was built. Most of those that were active in building it are sleeping in the cemetery near it. Elder William Brand preached the first sermon. Elder W.C. Tildon preached last Sunday, the last sermon we expect will be preached there. A number living will remember how a heavy pike pole, used to lift the heavy timbers, fell and struck Asa Bixby on the head, throwing him senseless to the ground. He lived a good many years, but never fully recovered from the injury. Mrs. Harriet Hawes heard the first and last sermon. Her father, John W. White, sawed a good deal of the lumber used in building the church, in a mill that stood where Myron Bradshaw's mill now stands. H.F. Handrick, who died five years ago, was chorister there for a great many years.

Forest Lake - Recently, while L. Shelp was bringing up his cows, one of the yearlings pitched at him, a lively tussle ensued, but Mr. S. got the better of him and made him get into the barn.
