Will Build A Church On Pontiac Clinton Site
At a trustees meeting of the Church of the Covenant a lot was voted for purchase at Pontiac and Clinton Streets opposite Hamilton school. A 40 by 50 foot rear section will be erected after the holidays, with $650 already subscribed.

A separate report notes an $8,000 Leesburg conflagration damaging the wagon shop and homes, with two men run over and a Miss Moon and her brother injured by a runaway on Spy Run avenue.
