     Other subscriptions will be acknowledged when paid in.  Even,

with the above leberal subscription list, (for all of which we desire

to tender our thanks) we would still have been unable to build.

But for the fact that the P.V. Brick Co. gave us a liberal discount

on the brick, putting them on the lot, at what I am told is far

below the actual cost.  Brick layers and other workmen also worked

for less than the usual wages, which is not included in the acknowledgments

above.  The house is still to be furnished, but it was quietly whispered

to us that the good ladies of Port Vincent would see to it that the

house was furnished, which is a sufficient guarantee that it will

be done.
