Bill allowing Colfax township to come under county system of road work. Bills of Mr. Moss, now pending are: One relative to pensions; to in crease the jurisdiction of Recorder's I Court.

THERMAL CITY CHURCH BURNS 0 The Methodist church at Thermal City was completely destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon about 4:00 p. m. Nothing was saved except a few seats and the organ. It is thought that the fire originated from a defective flue. Services were to be held at 4:00 p. m. A fire had been made in the stove, and just be fore preaching services someone noticed that the roof was burning. The location of the church made it difficult to get water to fight the fire and little could be done to stop the flames. The church was built twenty-three years ago. The building was in need of a new roof and shingles had been hauled to recover it and work was to have begun on it Monday morning. Rev. J. C. Postelle, of Gilkey, was pastor. It is not known whether any insurance was carried on the build ing. It is understood that work is to be started on a new church at an early date. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Rev.
