The new elevator will be 34x26 feet onground aud 46. feet high ; will be weatherboarded and in every respect finished ii-

ubstantiul style.The capacity will be considerabl-

larger than the old elevator , or aboti13,000 bushels. An immense pit habeen excavated under the building fowheat ; it is 66 feet from the bottom othe pit to the top of the elevator.-

A.

hopper scale will be installed hereand the cleaner will be much larger thanwas the old one. It is the purpose of thecompany to make this a general clean ¬

ing station , and grain will be shippedhere from other smaller elevators ownedand managed by the company to becleaned for shipment.

The company is also providing specialand increased facilities for transactinga retail business.

The foundation of the building is inseeping with the superstructure ; fourcar-loads of Colorado sandstone wereused.

. W. Nebraska Baptist Association.The South-West Nebraska Baptist

association met with the First Baptistchurch of McCook , September 2123.The association includes eight churches ;> ut only part of them were represented ,his year.

Sermons and addresses were delivered ,during the meeting , by Miss VanNess of-

1lncoln , general missionary of the W. B.:I. M. society of Nebraska ; Rev. E. A-

.lussell.

, state Sunday-school missionary ;iev. S. C. Green , district missionary of-he Baptist state convention ; Rev. T. E-.Cimball

.

, pastor of the Baptist church at-Farnam , and Rev. George Scott of Mc-Cook.

¬

.The next meeting will be held in June ,

1901 , with the Ash Grove Baptist churchnear Wellfleet.

These meetings , though the attend-ance

¬

was small , were interesting andprofitable from start to finish , and thosewho had the privilege of attending themwere amply compensated for the timeand effort it cost them.

The change of time from September toJune will , it is believed , remove a hin-drance

¬

which has hitherto made it im-possible

¬

for the representatives of themissionary and other organizations ofthe denomination to be present , and weshall look forward for fuller and moreprofitable gatherings in the future.-
