Mr. McClay received a num ber of useful presents and the well wishes of a host of friends. “Mac,” as he is familiarly called, is as lively and light on his feet as he was 40 years ago, so he says, and those who saw him "jigging” Monday night would never take him to be 67 years old. Both Mrs. McClay and “Mac” made short talks and thanked their friends for their expressions and tokens of kind ness and friendship. The Spokesman is informed that J. A. Failgatter of this city, is going to put up a 30x80 foot building on north Sixth street to tie used as a hall for dances, etc. Mr. Failgatter says it is the in tention to put in a 15-foot stage and a hard wood floor so the place can be used as a roller skating rink part of the time. He also contemplates giving moving pic ture shows in the building two or three nights each week. Lum ber for the building is now on the ground and it is expected to have the hall finished by Nov. 1.
