That "Little Brown Church" Again.

The following item has appeared in a number of the papers in northern Iowa:

"A movement has been started in Northern Iowa to raise a fund of voluntary contributions for purchasing guide posts to mark the roads leading to "The Little Brown Church in the Vale," at Bradford, Chickasaw county. There are a number of different roads in the vicinity, and as it is two miles to the nearest station, Nashua. There is a decided need for adequate road marks to guide thousands of visitors to the historic church. Many of the visitors are in that region for the first time, and many come long distances to see the church or hold services or for marriage ceremonies, as it is fast becoming the leading mecca of the state of cupid. In the past six months over 20,000 visitors have been to the church and many marriage ceremonies of people from distant points have been performed."
