past seven or eight years it has seemed to be an utter impossibility to heat the methodist jchurch here to anything like a comfortable degree in cold weather and although the trustees did all in their power to remedy the defect the matter seemed to battle them at every turn within two years four hot air furnaces have been thoroughly tested each maker having a different scientific theory for suc cessful heating and each claiming to give satisfaction but in turn practically failed and their apparatus was discarded after considerable observation and enquiry the trustees concluded that the only satisfac tory method would be w introduce a steam heating system and with this in view con ferredpith messjrs k w king 4 co georgetown whose new steafra beating apparatus is just now coming into great
